I'd like to know how you like the Blackwater tires as well. I just bought Grim Reapers largely due to your reviews and would like to know how they compare.
Thanks! Scott

these tires look great and measure true at just over26" mounted with 15PSI but I haven't gotten enough miles on the Blackwater tires to get an opinion yet. They have did great around here in the creek and the fields but I will update after I do some good tail riding .
On another note how are you liking the reapers? I really liked the reapers and dirt commanders they sold me on GBC and 8ply tires. I hate flats with a passion and with them I never had to worry about it.

Good to hear all is getting better and you didn't lose much. I didn't get to messy but just a few people when we were there working rebuilding the power lines but the ones did meet were in a real good mood considering what they all went through..

And yes I run progressives 425 hd's I've been running the 425's for years with zero issues! On one ride last year I keep hitting a log bouncing the front end head high numerous times trying to get the best shot lol
The first of this video shows a couple of these hits.

Nice video shots with the front end in the air. I have heard good things about the Progressive shocks. My Rhino is caged and 4 seated and i have to do something for the rear. On other forums guys are running the Teryx shocks and mounting them up side down on the rear. It gives a good inch of lift and seems to work really well on the softest setting, not to mention guys are able to fit 30's afterwards. I have found new set of 4 on ebay for $200.

Progress make the 425 Heavy Duty's for the rear, if you didn't already know. Had them on my rhino with a rear seat. Never bottomed them out. I also gained about 3/4 of an inch on the front and rear.

I know about the 425 HD. The difference to me is the savings in the pocket book. Not to mention my average speed on my rhino is about 5 mph and it stays loaded down with kids and a cooler. $200 is a good deal for front and rear shocks with the piggybacks on the rear.
