Default Got my new springs in. Some tuckin tire action. LOL

I got my HighLifter Lift springs on and they made an awsome difference!!! It raised up 1.5" front and rear, and the suspention is much firmer and more stable. Cant wait to get it out to the mud holes again Saturday and get wet.

Anyway, these are some pics from when i had the struts out and let the wheeler drop. With the big *** Titan Mud tires tucked like this it looks like its ready for the tractor pulls.





BTW, it rides in my truck at times.

Mine is a 03' Rancher ES. Basicaly the same. I have 26" Titan Mud terrains on it. I'm looking into some 29.5" Outlaw tires, but have to wait till i get the rest of the lift on it. What kind of lift do you have? So far i just have the Highlifter lift springs. They made it ride SOOO much better, and lifted it about 1.5".

Next month i will get the Highlifter Lift Kit, which would give me another 2". Then the 29.5 Outlaws would give me another 2-2.5. So total over stock it will be 5.5-6"


As for tires for yours, if you do alot of trail rides over mud and hard surfaces get some Titans. If you cruise the swamp land, get some Highlifter Outlaws. They are ultimate SICK!!!!!!!

I rarely trail ride. Usually always in some deep *** water or a lot of mud. I have the highlifter lift kit. Some of my friends have the ITP 589's and they go pretty good which is probably what i'd get, but no bigger than 26's. If you put 29.5'' outlaws that bike will be weak! Unless you have a power kit or something like that on it, I wouldn't go any bigger than 26'' with any tire. These bikes are not strong enough for that.

Not strong enough? If i hammer it in first it will wheelie over backwards. If i take off in second and hammer it it pulls a nice wheelie. Top speed when i bought it was 53 or so, but now that its broke in and a couple alterations done it tops out at 62mph.

All its got power wise is a cheap jet kit, muffler ran through, and i cleaned up the intake rout.

The Titan Mud Terrains are 589's also. They have the same basic tread design as the ITP, but they have small channels to allow air to get under the tire, so you can get through sticky mud better. The Titans are made for the nasty soupy mud. You know, tha fun ****. LOL
