I have an 09 Brute 750 with no lift and was wondering if my buddys 30inch mudlite would clear for a weekend? Thanks

I can't say for sure, but I am pretty sure even if you max-out all the shocks, and they don't rub at the start, there will be some times when the rears will rub the back of the foot boards and the fronts will rub something while turning hard over rough stuff. Do realize ther without the proper springs in the clutches, you are stressing the belt and shives with those big 30s.

You can try it but I would say its not going to work very well

Thanks guys, I do have to Red primary and stock secondary clutch springs so hopefully the clutch and new belt will hold up.

Sounds like you are going for it. Good luck, and with that stock secondary, be sure to do low range on steep hill climbs. In high and with those 30s, the stock might let the belt slip. It did with my 27s, so I am pretty sure it will with the 30s.

I fit 30" mudlites on mine, just put them on to see how it would look. nothing rubbed just sitting there, but there deffinitly was not much clearance if you hit stone or root

You couldn't have had your belt set right I have been in crud so thick and deep you couldn't walk in and we have the same tires and I got no slippage whatsoever with the stock secondary

Might be right. It was my original and it did have some miles on it and I know it was stretched way out. Happened when climbing steep sugar-sand hills in high range when it trenches in about 6-8 inches and the clutches are shifted over. You know, the speedo says 30 but you are actualy going about 8-10. This is also the same condition I slipped the Carlisle belt even with the red secondary. This is why I have this thing about slippage, but you know, the EPI belt never did slip on anything. Still have it in. Wierd.
