I just don't want to tear anything up from the rubbing I might have to take them off until someone comes out with some new A arms!

The lift I bought was for a Kawasaki Tyrex I had to re drill the holes for the front brackets and flip the ones on the rear. The lift was a 2 inch by Dragonfire racing.

I just don't want to tear up the buggy with the rubbing. I might have to go to the  28 in mayhams they are a rounder tire.

Hi pdemarie I have 2013 Tracker 800 and I have just fitted 27"grim reapers to standard rims I can only get one finger between the tyre and body on full lock I have 2" lift as well I havnt driven it yet as I am fitting power steering at the moment but if I get some rubbing I will try to put a jack between the suspension and body and with a heat gun gently push back the corner where they rub I don't think 28" or larger tyres will ever fit and still turn properly but they look good  :)

I was gonna point out what Tracker just did, if you can put a heat gun to the part where it rubs and push it in.

I'll also point out I had 28" Mega Mayhem's. All around a great tire. I've since upgraded to 30" Mudder Inlaws and the difference is monumental. The gripping force is without question better. But what I was really surprised by was how inferior the Mayhem's rode on the street. You would figure with it being a smaller and lighter tire it would be smoother but its the opposite. It felt like you bounced around everywhere at low speeds, and my current setup doesn't. Perhaps the flatness of the Inlaws (much like your Moto's) makes it smoother idk.

One last thing, a lot of the guys who are running 30's on their Z8's kept the stock rims and didn't experience any rubbing issues. I changed my rims and did have rubbing issues. Had to do quite a bit of cutting to make it work. Something to consider.

Can anyone take some close ups on how they trimmed the plastics to fit the bigger tires! I would like to see some pics before I just go cutting on my rig.

That's a very interesting point you make. I had the Mayhems #1 on my list for a replacement of the stockers on a CF Moto, and here in PA we rarely do any road riding, but due to its lightness and tread pattern it would seem to be a great choice. But I hate to spend that amount on new tires and then find a ride area that we put miles on the pavement and get bounced out of my seat ! I may have to rethink my purchase after checking out the Mudder In Laws.

I'm probably very wrong in assuming PA will allow SxSs on PA roads anytime soon, when we are seeing Slingshots, Can Am Spyders and T-Rex rides on our highways. No idea why we can't get them legalized, as they offer more protection than any of the 3 wheeled examples I gave. Would be very fun to ride a SxS to work over the summer !

I took a hack saw and a heat gun to the fenders the only part that is rubbing is the plastic part of the actual cab right under the gas petals! The only way I see I'm going to be able to stick with these tires is to cut and modify the actual cab! It's just a poor design of the Uforce! The Zforces don't have this problem that's why they can run up to 30's with no rubbing

All so mate next to the gas pedel there's a bump on the outside of the plastic that's for the brake pedel if you push that bit in the pedel will hit No brakes 😰

Took the wheel spacers off and got to work with heat gun and pretty much eliminated the rubbing.

Looks like the Tracker was never ment to have tires bigger than 27"
Just a thought before you sink time and money in to the Tracker sell or trade it on a Z force and tow a trailer  :)

So I bought a 2 inch bracket lift I modified the front to bolt up nice now I need to get a shock compressor to get the shock back on I will get some pics up as soon as I get done

Do you happen to know what is causing the suspension to not drop out enough to allow the shocks to be reinstalled without using a spring compressor? I looked at doing this to my Uforce but felt there would be some damage caused somewhere by forcing this modification..
