New to the forum and first post. Thinking about putting the spring spacer kit on my p1000-3 eps to gain a bit more clearance. Plan on installing larger tires in the future was wondering if this would help or do I need to do the Highlifter lift? Would like to go with 29.5 Bighorns. Any help appreciated. Great Forum.
welcome! I recently added 28" maxxis carnivores and 3.5" offset wheels. these tires actually measure 27.5" mounted and installed on the machine. a few times each ride they very lightly scrub my mudbuster where the bend isn't very snug up against the rear fender well. it's not enough to worry about.
At the same time, I installed the highlifter bracket lift, but ended up removing it, which didn't change the slightly scrub on the mudbuster. I've been on several good rides now and determined that a lift is not needed for these tires.
Other guys have installed 28" roctanes, and they to run a little big. They measure something like 28.5" installed, and from what I understand, those guys need the front offset a-arms.
30" roctanes need the offset a-arms and a lift, I think.
Some of the other guys with those other setups will chime in soon and give you more details.
Welcome aboard!
