So I installed the set of 30 inch Outback MAX...
First, YES it rubbed and with no lifts to be found....
I'm not the patient type, I put a "pipe" or spring spacer lift. A 1.5 in collar. I got a total of 5" of ground clearance gained. Doesn't rub till you have the wheel hard over. Even lifted, I've gotten a couple rubs running fast over an unexpected whoopie ti do. Only on the driver side, which I contribute to driver weight maybe but aside from that the rubs are minor.
Second, the 1K turns em pretty good. Been in some real deep slop and pulled through nicely. Climbing, gotta use low gear but that's what its for. When I say slop I mean mud not water with a muddy bottom. I don't do deep water. I have a boat for that but I digress...
Lost some top end speed but was to be expected. On stockers I got 68 mph on this rubber topping out at 54 mph. I'm OK with that. These are HEAVY tires. But they claw through the crud and being 8 ply they will have great puncture resistance.
Having had STI Mudd Trax on a Zuke KQ750 for the last 7 yrs I will testify they make a good tire and very durable. Have a lot of use on hard pack,gravel and even road surface and they haven't loss much rubber. I'm optimistic the Outback will be as good.
I did not make any change to the rear shocks and there is a slight nose high attitude but I have not noticed any ill effects of this sans the trailer hitch having a downward attitude.
I hope someone make a swing arm that moves the front wheels forward a tad and that will fix my problem... until then, see ya out there!

Looks great!! I thought about the Outbacks because I have herd they really smooth, but the weight was a little turn off for me. I'm going to go with a set of Interco Interforce tires at first then may get a set of Outbacks or Intimidators. Have you had them on any trails or rocks?

I have ridden trails on em. Nice ride little bumpy at slow speed but no worse than any other aggressive tread. No big rocks in my area but look forward to using them on rocks.

How much pressure are you running? I had em at 15 psi but dropped them to 10 and got rid of a lot of the rub. Give it a try, see if it make a diff for ya.

I have 10 PSI in both mine as well. Its not terrible by any means, and I can still get around just fine on the trails. Thanks for the recommendation though.

Are these factory wheels? Are the front tires narrower than the rear? I'm getting 28 outbacks and will use factory wheels. Will they fit or will I need wider front wheels ?

I have 30in blackwaters on my 1000 with no lift and they barely rub. Wondering if just a 2 in lift will stop the rubbing. Also found some forward arches front a arms. Guess I'll try the lift first then go to the arms of just the lift don't stop the rubbing.

id love some details on your set up.
first off how have your axles held up?

when you did your pipe spacers how tall did you cut the pipe?
i did 1"tall pipe and it came out to a 1.5" lift. everything I was reading said 1" spacer made for 2.5-3" lift.

i am looking at doing the cfab arms so i can buy 30" tires but if you think a spacer lift will cut it id be happy to save the 900$!!

lastly those mud tires help up well? I'm looking for a rim and tire set i just throw on when I go to the trails and mud pits. I have my current set up for my daily work life so I'm not to concerned on anything outside off of road play performance.

you will need offset A arms to keep them from rubbing. i ran a 2.5in lift and my 30s rub like crap lol. superatv has offset arms and there good thats what im running and they are reasonable price you can get a member discount for them too
