BUYING BIGHORNS

Great pics guys it was great to see the final look, i was up in the air on polished or black, going 26x12x12 5+2 rear 26x9 on the front and i have 2 in spacers now on rear, but i think i will take off to stay around 52in wide. Kent how is the turning radius with the 56 in .Kent THANKS that is my machine but in green, pic put me over the fence!!

Just to let you know Maxxis does not offer the bighorn in a 26x11x12 unless you buy a 2.0. I have only been able to find 26x12x12. I just ordered up a set of 26x9x12 for all four corners mounted on black diablo 4+3 wheels.

Want to see what they look like? Thats exactly what I have on mine. Need 1" spacers on the rear to make your tracks even. Will put you out to about 56 1/2".
9" on the rear work great.

That Rhino of yours is Kick-A** Marty!!!!!

I don't think the wider stance makes any noticeable difference in turning radius. It does feel more stable in a tight furn since it doesn't seem to "plow" as much. I tried it with and without the front spacers. I like 'em...

Mines 60 inches wide...... I have a set of 2+5 offset wheels and a set of 3+5 offset wheels and I must say the ride is well worth the extra maintenance. I do notice more feed back in rough terrain as well as more rubbing in the front end(tires hit inner fenders).

The worst thing I found with the width is I had to purchase a bigger trailer.....

My problem too. Dont want to go to a 6 foot wide trailer. I have 61" of space in mine. been looking hard at trying to get a Mid Travel and keep it under 61". There are possibilitys.

Jimbo. Been working on it for 2 1/2 years now a little at a time. Might get it where I want it by 2015.

I have considered the Mid-Travel. I could go back to stock offsets and it would have less feed back, easier to turn in the rough stuff, and easier on the steering components.

I went to a 6 foot 6" trailer because I got a killer deal on it plus if I decide to go long travel in the future I can with plenty of room left. I am also considering building a small compartment in the front of the trailer to house extra wheels, tires, tools, and other items just in case.....
