Hello all I'm new to the forum so I want to pick your brains a little on past mods some of you may have done and what your recomendations are for my wheeler. Im currently in the Middle East but should be home in the next month or two but while home on leave last fall I picked an 06 Grizzly and of course I bought some 27" x 11" tires and wheels and mounted them up using spacers (I believe they were 2") but I cant remember the brand name right now......
Any way I was planning on doing a 2" HL lift and Gorilla axels when I got home but after spending many hours reading this and other forums I find that alot of people running lifted Grizzlies have nothing but trouble. In alot of cases guys are stating that they plan to or have taken the kits out and have gone back to the stock suspension and a shorter tire etc.
My wheeler will be used mainly for play, hunting, trail riding, camping trips and some mudding etc. but not for any serious mud competition or anything like that so Im looking for recomendations from you guys that have gone down the lifting/axel road.....do you guys think its worth it now after having spent hundreds, maybe thousands on all of those items or would you doing it all over keep the stock suspension and run a smaller tire with a few upgrades? I really was planning on doin the lift etc and thats why I went with the tire/wheel combo and the wheel spacers....If I dont lift it I think I will have to cut the front fenders to keep the tire fender contact down. Anyone do any cutting on theirs? If so how did it turn out.
I like most want to keep the wheeler reliable so I dont end up wheeling with my kids out in the middle of the wilderness somewhere trying to deal with axels coming out or other problems.
Sorry about the long winded first post, thanks to those that may reply and thanks for a very informative website.
