Thanks corn cob, I'm still looking for the best price for sure-traks and Kenda bear claws the sur-traks are lighter and I have never had a flat until the tires were worn down to needing replacing anyway.

I don't know about the engagement point of the grizz but the Kodiak engages just barely off idle. I cannot notice any lag in engagement. The only lag in "downshifting" comming high speed corners and trying to powerslide the back end around you have to get on the gas just a little sooner.

I have already ordered front wheel spacers from Ronnies and they should be here end of the week. I will be in Texas the next couple of days. It will be at least 2 weeks until I can report if it makes a difference or not. I don't see any problem adding them the 4x4s are designed to handle bigger and wider tires why not spacers same amount of torque and strees to the hubs.

Anyone ride in Oregon? Portland to be exact!
