That brings up an idea for a good experiment!
Does anyone know the widths of the factory front rims and factory rear rims? I guessing 7" fronts and 10" rears.

JTW when you get a chance air all tires to the same psi. Now measure the height of each tire. Now measure the circumference.
I'm betting the circumference is smaller on the rear tires. If it is not the same on all tires, I believe your drive train will be in a bind when you are in 4 lock. Will be cool to know if it changes!
JTW is always in a bind, HA!

  1. Do not currently own
I’ve got 28x10x14 terrabites on stock deluxe wheels with the HL lift. I haven’t had any rubbing but if I were doing it all again. I would do something like @Kilo427 or @joeymt33
What part?

Nope, But I need to run larger tires on the front, for impact on square edged rocks, that will require forward a arms, that will cost $ 5,300 with tires and rims all the way around. I am just kinda sick of Honda and there P-1 platform!

I paid $300 for my control arms, and if I paid retail it would have been 600 on RMATV for the 30” roctanes. I think your math is a little messed up. If you want a canam, just go buy one though. If I had a sport sxs that’s the one I would have too... no reason to skew the math though. Unless it’s your old age messing with your brain, in that case we will All just smile and nod and say “isn’t that nice”.

The Honda dealer wants 3,300 for the lift, a arms + tires and I would go with bead lock rims and 30 inch tires and if I could find some I'd buy 10 ply's. I have busted a front 8 ply and have a rear 8 ply leaking. I don't care for pass words, locks or tires these days. I know I can save some money if I do the wrenching my self but these days all I want to do is ride. You can buy the LE front a arms installed for $ 440.00. Just fronts. I'll keep my P 1 just as it is until some body comes out with a S x S with handling and long travel suspension and a real bed.

Bring it to me. I will do it for you for $5300. My math says the parts would cost $3000. Thats if you pick the most expensive stuff made! Bring that baby on over I will take your money! I will even stand behind my work!
