P1000 2018 1000-5 Deluxe help

[Emmer75]

I have a 2018 1000-5 Deluxe. Looking to add a little ground clearance without adding a lift. What
A-arms have folks added and what size tire can I put on the stock rims to give me a little bit more clearance. Nothing too crazy for tire recommendations please as I still need to run around town/farm/plow snow.

28’s on all your stock stuff and be done with it, unless you want to go down the rabbit hole with us.

So 28s on four tires won't have any ill effect on anything?

Can I go same size tire all the way around or do fronts need to be a lil smaller then rears?

28x10’s on all 4

10" on all 4 is very common and is OK. The front will be wider than the rear though. A set of SATV or RB3 spacers can fix for you..

Down the rabbit hole!!

So a set of spacers for the rear to even it out with th front width wise? What size spacers?

1" on the rears will get you close.

I Run 1" on the front and 1.5" on the rear and my front is still a bit wider. But I have taller tires (32" terabytes that are closer to 31" when I measure), offset arms front and rear, and a lift, so I needed to push the fronts out too.

Good luck!!

So if i go 28*10*14 all the way around for tires and 1" spacers in the rear is is worth even trying to replace the A arms for any more added clearance or will the bigger tires take care of all that?

Tough to answer. Remember that going to a 28" dia tire is only 1" on the dia larger, giving you 1/2" additional clearance (although I think the stick tires run smaller, so it is actually a little better than 1/2"). Is that enough for your use? The 28's are a good size in that you don't NEED to change anything else and you still won't rub on anything.

The offset a-arms are contoured on the bottom and give additional clearance in that way as well.

Depends on how you will use the machine.

That’s only if tires run true to size.. most don’t!

Trail riding some sand dunes, no extreme rock crawling etc. Work on the farm and plow snow. Just need a lil more clearance to make it through some of the deeper ruts. Looking to maybe make up 3"-5" inches of clearance without a lift if possible.

Yeah, that’s not gunna happen.

you either need to go with the HL 2.5” bracket lift or an arched WITH lift a arm..

you could also do something like the fox shocks and crank preload or do the spring spacers. But in the end, you’re asking for a lot of lift without consequence and that just doesn’t exist.

 

[Boss0144]

3-5 is a lot.

I run 32” terrabite’s (measure about 31”) with arched a-arms front and rear with the highlifter 2” lift. So I have about 2 extra inches from the tires, and then additional clearance from arms being curved. It’s a significant increase. It looks like a lot next to a stock machine. The tires give the clearance though. The arms and the lift kit are there so that the tires fit without rubbing (I have wheel spacers too - 1” front, 1.5” rear)

But to get to 4 or 5 inches, you need to do some extreme stuff.

Get a good set of skid plates if your riding requires that much clearance!!

I'm running 29x9 up front and 29x11 in the rear on stock tires in my 2018 1000-5. I want to say I gained an solid inch and no rubs, but I can't imagine you are gonna go any bigger without lift/arms/spacers.

It's made a significant difference in functional clearance for me for what it's worth, but I'm not a big rut/rock guy- just incidentals on the trail I can't avoid.

 

[Emmer75]

Ok so seems like my 3-5" of extra clearance for what I dreamed might be more then I bargain for. I definitely don't want to get a lift kit. So wheel spacers and some 28"-29" tires will help then possibly arched
A arms down the road. I try to avoid the deep ruts also just sometimes no choice. Trying to avoid collecting so much mud under the skid plate if possible. Thanks for all the help guys. I appreciate it.

RB3 or Super ATV wheel spacers for the 1000?J gonna get the 1" for a little more width.

I've got the RB3 1" installed in the rear and haven't had any issues.

I have both... I like the RB3 a little better.

Why the Rb3 better?
