Been doin research but coming up with a lot of pros and cons. Looking for a 2" to clear 27 28" tires. Looked at the superatv lift, strong made, and the highlifter. Are there any more? Or which is a good reliable one

They all have pros and cons, if they require a spacer the ride gets ROUGH. If they move the shock in the ride gets softer but it bottoms out easier. If they move it out ride suffers. Ideally you want the shock to move inline with the stock mounts. The ones that relocate the top you can't use aftermarket shocks.

You'd need a 3" to clear a true 28" tire when it's measured on the rim but off the SXS. More if you have a lot of accessories.

Just some additional information to consider.

I bought the strong made lift and haven't installed it yet. I have 27" bighorns that come in just over 27", closer to 27.4" and they fit fine with no rub. And the machine is weighted down with lots of add ons.

I have the StrongMade installed, 28" Blackwaters 28.25", on 5/2 offset,7" wide rims. Mine rub on the floorboards. I am weighted down with about 300lbs of adds all total.

I'm making my own lift based off the strong made to get me back up in the air so the tires don't rub.

These clearances are with 28.5" tires and a 3" lift.

Any problems with the cv axles with a 3" lift? I figured they might get in to steep of an angle

I just installed the strongmade lift. I now have a bit of positive camber, is there a way to make any adjustments to this?

I do not believe there is anyway to adjust the camber. How much do you have?

Slight amount, more on the drivers side for some reason?

Did you just eyeball it after coming off the jacks or did you drive it for a min to see where everything settled in, allowing the suspension to compress under load.

Interesting that one side is different from the other, You don't recall clipping and trees or hitting any large rocks that may have tweaked something in your frame or A-Arms do you? Another member had his mounting tabs bent said he hit a tree but not all that hard and made a noticeable cant to his P700.

Not that I can recall. Only at the first service now. I do beat on it but haven't hit anything and can't see anything noticeably bent or broken. Steers straight still as well. I didn't take measurements before installing either.

Well that makes my issue quite trivial in comparison.
