Hi all
I've got a 2017 pioneer 500 that I just bought used.
I went to our hunting trails today and couldn't help but notice how low the frame is ?
Any way to lift it ? Would just buying bigger tires be my easiest fix ? Thanks

I have the same problem. You only have 8 1/2 inches of clearance on stock 24 inch tires. I was looking at going to 27 inch tires but that only gives you another 1 1/2 more if the tire is a true 27 inch. If you search this site for for lifting/ ground clearance or replacing tires you will find a ton of information. You may have to play with the title you type in. Have fun.

Next to bigger tires, I don’t think there is much you can do. Might be able to put a lift kit on it, portals (not sure) but remember the taller you go the wider you need to go. If yo do 27” tires you will be surprised how much that P5 will go through, good luck with it and welcome from the mountains of WNC.

Welcome from Miiiiichigan!

your best bet is bigger tires and some aftermarket shocks and add the preload. I had a P5 at one time, cant remember if they make but im sure you can tho! Make some shims for your stock shocks to get some lift. Those are the best way and cheapest. as noted u may also need spacers when u go up too.
