| Would much rather trim a little platic if I can than spend $400 on forward a arms right now. I wouldnt think it would take much to clear the 28s anyways. | |

| When my 28 Roctanes showed up I knew there were to big for stock A arms. So I order a set of forward A arms. PM "sniper" he is a dealer for High Lifter and can get you a good deal. | |

| I did the fender mod and my 28" Roctanes still rub the mudflap. U can prob trim off a lil more and they won't rub. I was just trying to do the least I could. I have forward arms just haven't put them on yet. Here's a link to the instructions for the mod. http://www.utvguide.net/review_30_inch_tires.htm | |

| I've tore one flap off but riveted both of them on. It does look like its the tab that rubs the most. U should be fine doing the mod. | |

| Gonna give it a try. It sucks having a new set of wheels and tires sitting in the basement and your too sick to put them on. | |

| U will notice a difference in it, but u can get by without having one. I don't have a kit in mine. This past sat I put the stock bighorns back on it for a ride and it's pretty noticeable. | |
