After riding last night with a group on a trail I decided I need some upgrades. Between bottoming out on rocks and struggling up a hill that had a bunch of 6-8” little rocky ledges you had to get upit was a rough night with my 700-4. My wife said no when I asked about buying an RMAX4 this morning so that upgrade is out.

I have 27” terrabites on it now and am thinking when I replace them going to 28” and adding the 2” super atv lift kit. Would you also do wheel spacers to get a little wider or would all of that mess the geometry up and lead to a lot of failures?

My opinion.... If you want the spacers, they certainly won't hurt. You don't have to have them.

I'm running 28's and they measure a true 28". I'm lifted over 4 inches between shocks and arched arms. I feel unsafe.

After watching a buddy lay his RZR Trail on its side last weekend twice when he got off camber I am thinking the spacers would help with stability when being a little higher off the ground with the lift kit. Am I thinking correctly on that or won’t they really make a difference?

Wider stance does make a vehicle more stabile. I'd need all the pertinent data to determine if 1 inch makes enough difference.

Have you tried it out for rubbing?
