I just got a perfex 2inch lift for my 06 wolverine 450. I installed it, the back bracket worked fine. The front brackets are right up against the tires. why??? is this normal? i can't drive it like that of course. do these kits require either wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels with a larger backspacing? and if so, which should i do? i plan to put 26" mud tires, not sure which brand or tire width. any help would be appreciated

 

ive read on highlifter that its not really a 2 inch but more like a 1 inch maybe tires to big i heard its a low quality lift i didnt even know a made a lift 4 the wolverine.oh try longer shocks

 

right now, the stock 23" tires are being used. it rubs the sidewall of the tire. a longer shock might work, but i wanted to make this way work. it sucks that perfex is the only kit out there for the wolverine. the stock wolverine ground clearance is way to low.

 

i also have not heard good things about that kit i think you got had yo

 

i actually bought it from someone on this forum who had 2 kits. 1 of the kits he had already installed on his bike which i saw in person and it worked fine b/c he had aftermarket wheels. (he had two kits b/c of a mistake by the manufacturer and i checked, and they are the same kit, just to clarify) so i think its an issue with the stock wheels

i used that pic to help with my install and the factory tire sidewall sits about 1/16" away from that bracket and goes right into the tire when turning the wheel. the gap does get a little bigger sitting on the ground or putting weight on the quad but when the shocks travel and when turning, its going to rub pretty bad

 

i think most aftermarket companys over look the wolverine and raptor 350 .just use some 25 outlaws or xl mudlites.you could maybe fabricate your kit a little to your specific needs

 

i think i'm either going to go with factory wheels with 26" tires and 1 1/2 inch spacers or go with afermarket wheels with a different backspacing

 

My bracket looks nothing like the bracket in you picture miassmaro I have about 3 inches of space between my tire and the closest part of the bracket. I have had my lift kit for about 1 1/2 years with no issues. How long ago did you order the kit and are you positive the kit you got was for the wolverine 450?
