ahh, just saw you have this lift kit... its easier to put in the kit from the top... take off the rack, fender.. and its all right there... way easier than the way you did it... but you got it done... so looks good. should of measured with the old tires so you know the real lift..

If you loosen the front strap holding the axel and hub assembly up just a little you could have dropped it down a couple inches with no problems and the shock would have went right in

Got the Back lift on with no problem thanks to this video, only question is there a nut to take off the top of the front shock tower before you can remove it or should it just be compressed until you can remove it?

Yes i believe that is correct compress it and then remove the nut

@MrDiddy803 3 года назад

@randyrowe3097 5 лет назад

This basically just raises the body right? It doesn't give you more suspension or ground clearance. Am I wrong? just wondering was thinking of larger wheels and tires, that gives you more ground clearance I guess. Just thinking of my options. Your videos are very helpful. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

@Temptation_Offroad 5 лет назад

Correct, its main purpose is to make room for larger tires. Even with this 2" lift the 28's still rub when turning and especially with my snow plow on the front. I know newer model sportsman 500s can clear 28s with no lift kit, because of the different fender design. Glad the videos help out!

@Temptation_Offroad 5 лет назад

Im sure any time you add a lift to a machine and i crease the axle angle there will be a much greater chance of breaking something. Sorry to hear that, i just use mine for plowing snow and hunting so Im not really very hard on it. No issues so far for me luckily.

How do u like those tires I’m looking at them for my 2020 850

@Temptation_Offroad 4 года назад

I really like them, but they are a heavy tire and also I only use them in the winter for snow plowing and summer time occasionally for hitting some mud holes. They seem like a great tire, but im not sure how well they will hold up to constant hard pack gravel trail riding etc because it is a fairly soft rubber compound on the lugs. Otherwise so far i love them! If you do get some keep me posted

I want those exact tires and rims on my 2019 Polaris 450 Ho. What size would you recommend me go with? Do you advise a life kit? No one can tell me around here!

@Temptation_Offroad 4 года назад

These tires take a lot of power to turn over and are a very heavy tire. I believe the smallest size they come in is 28s. Your 2019 450 might not need a lift kit to fit these, because the newer wheelers have more fender clearance than the older ones did. A clutch kit will probably be a must. EPI and QSC are supposed to make good ones.

@lifeofcinnammon 4 года назад

Temptation2003 Does it ride hard? Like a tractor ? Or is the ride smooth with those tires?

@Temptation_Offroad 4 года назад

@@lifeofcinnammon Its just a tad rough at like 3mph, but after that it actually rides smooth because of the center lug on the tire coming down the center a ways. It rides very nice for such an aggressive tire.
