Welcome from NW Louisiana.

Hopefully you will get it this year. When you do, post pics or a hit squad will pay you a visit. The saying is, "pics or it didn't happen"

Welcome From Michigan!

In this order…PICS PICS PICS, skid plates and Super ATV flip windshield and a roof is a must in my book,

Stat away from the lift. Put it towards some nice shocks and a SATV flip windshield. Heres why…

P700m4 - Shocks, Spacers or High Lifter Lift kits?

Been having trouble deciding which route I want to take as far as getting clearance for 28" tires. Didn't know if spacers or lift kit would make it ride more rough? Does anyone recommend one over the other?

Look into getting some commander shocks. Improves the ride and adds lift. Super atv flip out windshield is the way to go. Welcome to the club.

Correct. Use the search on here. There are lots of threads about it. A arms from SuperATV (just learned these were available) and fox shocks would be best but most expensive option. Then I would say the commander shocks would be next best option and cheaper. I don't have actual experience with either. That's just what I've read on here from other people more experienced than me about this subject.
When I had my 2014 700-4 I installed spring spacers on the front shocks and SuperATV bracket lift front and rear. The spacers kept the stock shocks from bottoming out so much. I definitely liked the extra ground clearance. Still rode rough though but was the cheapest option to fit 28" tires.
If I had to do it over I would have gotten the a arms and fox shocks for the better ride. That's what most of the 1000 guys on here are doing. It's on my list of upgrades for my 1000 as well.
Good luck with the new ride.

Welcome from Alabama.
Regarding Windshield - IMO glass is best -
Pros:
Most are DOT, which maybe required for street licensing, if available in your area.
You can use a scraper on it and it doesn't scratch, the same goes for windshield wipers.
If broken, most auto glass shops will be able to replace glass in frame, I would imagine a chip could be repaired by the same shop.
Cons:
Expensive.
Heavy
Probably won't let as much air flow as some other types, especially flip up or fold down styles.

Hardcoat polycarbonate would probably be my second choice, although I never had one.
Non Hardcoated - Don't waste your money, they scratch terribly, I had a fold down version that after it became difficult to see through I replaced it with a glass windshield.
