Our machine will stay pretty well stock. Not saying a lift isn't in the future but it won't be for deep mud or water. Looks only. Ours is for farm use, road tripping and occasional trail. That comment was poking fun at all the tire questions. Wrong to poke fun but in good humor.Ohhhh...4" spacers on any machine will impart a lot of leverage on your wheel bearings. Great mod but just be prepared to replace bearings more frequently.
