P1000m5 Has anyone installed 2.5" lift with HL A arms? Can you tell a difference in the center of gravity?

I'm thinking with what you lose in center of gravity you may gain some back with the 1.5" offset forward of the front a arms giving it a 1.5" longer wheel base. Any thoughts?

Some guys are running 28 inch and 29 inch tires with no lift and super ATV arms. Super ATV arms give you an inch and a half for wheelbase on the rear is well.

That may be a thought?

I have HL arms on front and rear with 30" bighorns rode almost 100 miles this weekend on Hatfield&mccoy trails never rubbed once. I'm thinking the rear especially would look a little better with a bit more clearance around the tires.

OK, sorry that I'm not up to speed on your current vehicle status. I agree that the super ATV arms in the rear would be an improvement.

By the way, have you measured your tires? Here's a picture of the 30 inch EVOs.

I installed the highlifter 2.5" lift, and I could absolutely tell the difference in CoG. I rode a few rides with the lift kit, then removed it. it was nice having the extra clearance, but ultimately not a tradeoff that was worth it to me. I ride mostly mountainous terrain and the higher CoG just wasn't working out for me.
a lift kit like the highlifter that makes the shocks more vertical will also cause you to lose some travel and limit shock action.

I'm thinking more toward a 2.5" lift than changing the HL a arms since I just put them on front and rear. I have not measured the tires I'll have to do that

I will take that into consideration. Thanks for your point of view.
