If you are looking for ride height, the SuperATV 3” lift is affordable and easy to install, but 29” tires is about as tall as you can run with it. Forward A-arms with a built in lift give more overall clearance and enable you to run up to 32”. I have CFab a-arms with 3” built in lift, 30” Carnivore tires, with 1.5” wheels spacers, plus a 4” portal lift. I see no need to go higher than a 32” tire. The verdict is still out on whether I like the portals or not. I will likely brake an axle before I will get stuck though. Overall 30” tires seem to be a sweet spot for the pioneer considering how heavy they are. But this is just an opinion.

Sounds like a lot of mods to run larger tires... I’m beginning to rethink buying a Honda side by side.

Is that your suggestion over the rmax? I’m just trying to decide on what machine is best for me. I don’t think the pioneer is it based on members suggestions.
Might get more info on the others from forums specific to them, if the Honda pioneer isn’t for you there is a talon section.

What is your ground clearance, do you have the SATV lift and portals?

just bought a 2021 p1k-3, looking for best lift and tire size and style suggestions
Personally I’d skip the lift or do the spacer lift many have done which is cheap and easy process.
I don’t have a lift and run 30’s, I do have SATV a-arms though which moves the tires forward, you couldn’t fit them without the a-arms. I do also have Fox shocks with preload set to give about an 1“ lift.

Do you care about ride quality or just getting it higher? 28’s could be an option as well to reduce costs.

I have 20” of clearance. I have 1.5” forward a-arms which have 3 inch lift built in. I was able to run 32” tires with this alone. I now have 4” portals which get me more width and clearance.

Get fox shocks and put new springs on them, 250lb front 300lb rear and with 30’s you be lifted plenty.
