Mine are maybe 3/16"-1/4" but the new ones look like they have double. Krawler86 on here has some for sale i think?? Or he used some on his build. | |

Right before i refreshed the page and read this I was like "Krawler86 used some on his build!". Coincidence, no? The more I see them the more I wonder... "do I want directional tires in the first place" "should I use ags or holeshots (which I could probably get cheaper)" "or should I just get them and get it over with?" | |

"do I want directional tires in the first place" "should I use ags or holeshots (which I could probably get cheaper)" "or should I just get them and get it over with?" Maybe start a thread on tires. What size you want How much you'll spend Driving conditions and habits What your looking for in a tire Lots of tire freaks on here that can help you out. | |

| So i got them 19's, now its time to make them fit. Cut some spare stock front rims up and centered and welded these to the ATV rims i got. Removed axle. Cut 2" from original axles center section. Then cut a 6" center from a parts axle. Made it 4" wider Welded and grinded seams down. Cut out 4 -2" square plates and plated the seams. Made the tie rod longer. Letting it stretch. Checking clearances. | |

when you put the 820 in it, you should make a spacer to have the tires sitting even | |

Nope, not really the whole frame. Just the hood is at a backwards lean, if you look at the foot boards they are level. | |

Just the hood is at a backwards lean, if you look at the foot boards they are level. nah, i bet if you put a ball on the floorboard it would roll back. looks like a pretty decent angle to me. red, you could always squish the leafs down a bit too, if need be, or re mount them | |

red, you could always squish the leafs down a bit too, if need be, or re mount them Floorboards are about level, maybe front about a inch or so higher then the rear frame. If i do that will then i lose leaf travel , and i will take all i can get especially with the jumping. | |

| Make the hood level and let the air to 1psi in the front tires. Or step the front axle a little. | |

Heads of the engine are wider then my hood, so if have to chop the bajesus out if it for the hood to fit over the engine. Plus it bolts up to the singly cyl's stock mounting holes this way. | |
