I have a 07 wolverine 450...where we go muddin I need alittle bit more bround clearence...I need at least about 1 1/2 inch. Would it be better to find a lift kit. And if so what kind...i have searched but could not find anything. Or maybe a set of swamp lite tires. If so what size could i fit on my stock wheels to give it alittle more ground clearnce. It can tear threw mud but it get stuck because the frame sits down on the ruts.

you won't get any more ground clearance with kust a lift, the larger tires give you the ground clearance.. I know 26's will fit without a lift, but not sure about 27's

just a suggestion you might want to put a clutch kit in it to ensure that you get enough out to turn the bigger tires. but thats just me. there are alot of threads out there about clutch kits and i'm to lazy to mention them

Yeah i do alot of trail riding with it also so i figured the swampl lite would handle better than mudlits...plus the rits we go it...the swamp lites and more side wall tread on them...and actually to me they look like the could cut threw mud about as good as mud lites...and i have never doubted interco before...i have irocs on my truck

those are some pretty narly tires. i was just doing a little googling on them. how much are you planning on paying for them i found a site that has them for 275 for all four thats not a bad deal at all i'm half tempted to buy me a set today

thats not bad 300 for everything. cause by the time you buy them pay shiping and then put them on it will probably cost you more than 300. as for front lockers i haven't seen anything. thats the bad part about the new wolvie is trying to find mods. i guess give it a bit they are slowly coming out of the wood works

ok i have a few opinions on this thread.....thought i would toss in my two cents...

swamplites are a nice tire...but be forwarned they are a heavy tire.....and we all know that the 450 is not a huge powerhouse...i really wanted the same tires but opted for the new maxxis zillas....they are quite a bit lighter and as far as being a good trail tire.... i am very happy with them...

i run 26 inch with the clutch kit and a locker......very good in the deep stuff and pretty damn good on the trails still.......


miassmaro98.... have you had any issues with your locker yet? how many times have you had it out since the kit has been installed? just wondering as i have mine out on the bench at the moment....had about 4 or 5 runs on it and it seemed to only lock the one wheel and not let go at all.....so i took it apart and i think it is the spacer problem....big one is to big but the small one leaves a little gap and from what i see it causes one of the clutch disks to pop out....i picked up a shim and put it together and seems like it will be good now.....not sure if it was like that from the begining or not......could be it all set in place after a few rides and needed a little tweaking by adding the shim....anyways let me know how yours is holding up....

Thanks for all the input guys.

I am actually going to be documenting the wolverines transformation over the next few weeks..I am gonna go ahead and get the perfex long travel kit...some 25 swamp lites or mud lites....and its going from yamaha white...to black with some custom airbrushing by one of my friends...were putting claw marks on the side that looks like they have been made by the wolverine comic book charecter with a custom wolverine logo under it. AFter this Im going to work on my Raptor 700 for a month...I alternate every month so they get equal play time...but ill be posting pics....it's gonna be a bad little project...around july Ill be adding a cam and front locker and clutch kit.....after the raptor gets alittle attention.
