I think I understand your point (ground clearance), but I find the Brute a bit on the high side and "tipsy" compared
to others I ride with.....

I agree that the Brute is quite tippy, but wheel spacers or offset rims should counter that effect quite affectavely, IMO (and you can come home dirtier... ). But, I guess everybody likes their own thing.

I do have offset rims and hd springs it helps but the kit is even better

Ya I guess I'll need to look at 25's to take full advantage of the kit. So the search is on for tires again :-)

Those 26" Terracross may be nice too. Less flex in the turns with the 14" rims. I'd have to try a set on a lowered Brute before spending the coin though. Otherwise...25" Terracross or may those 4 Ply radials like Adirondack Man has. I heard they're pretty light for a radial.

Gearslayer,

You are right about my Goodyear MT/R radials. I was surprised that they are as light as they are for an aftermarket tire. I can tell you that they have worked great in the snow and handling is much improved over both stock tires, and the 26" Mudlight XL's I used to run. They are definetely not a mud tire though, at least in comparison to the Mudlight XLs. They are an awesome trail tire. I have been very happy with them. And, they are available in 12" rim, and 14" rim size.

the material is top notch it won't break but you really need 25 inch tires for it to really shine and its easy to go from one the other did it this weekend put the shocks back to normal position for running my 27's it took less then 45 minutes and the kit stays on the bike when I run my 25's I will lower it again.
