Want to start a thread and see what kind of interest there is for us to offer a 5" lift kit for you Teryx owners. Post up if you would be interested and what kind of price range you would be please to see the kit offered at.
What machine do we need to start working with first the T2 or the T4?
Great info, the kit would no doubt be arched lower a-arms both from and rear. Probably anywhere between 3-5" wider per side, along with a forward and rear offset. Rhino axles for sure.
If I get a lot of interest in this thread i'll make things happen.
With big lift kits i can assure you that stock axles will not be possible to run. But I can assure you we will come in around the 2k mark or less with HD Rhino axles included.
Omg yes. Needs to move front and back 2" forward and back. I could care less about moving it out as long as it at least comes back to the original stance. Maybe an inch it 2 wider to wide and those of us that want it east coasters and central mud guys may not be able to do all the trails. If your even thinking of it I'll wait on other mud tires as I was going to order 30" mud tires but I'll wait and if you build it and keep it reasonable in price I'll do 32" mud tires and your lift. 2k with axles I'll give you a deposit now... Lol
Pre 2014 T2's are different than T4's. All the T4's are the same. The 2014 T2's and T4's are the same with the exception of the rear shock mount. They are different on the 14+ T2's and T4's.
Buying a tyrex is just a down payment for its accessories!
I think 2" wider would be perfect since most of us need to run 2" spacers to avoid rubbing the nub, or shock resevoirs, or tie rod ends in your case. Lol
Hey Cameron I think 2" wider would be perfect since most of us need to run 2" spacers to avoid rubbing the nub, or shock resevoirs, or tie rod ends in your case. Lol
Ya your right I think 4 inch total would be about max I would want. I ride some trails that are real tight. But it is like everthing else as the sxs get wider so will the trails. I can remember when my dad got his sportsman 700 and the trails were so tight it was too much work to ride it in the woods. Now you go through the same trails we rode back then and they have almost doubled in size.
Just did a quick drawing to hopefully help understand why you have to go wider to go taller on a UTV. The 4 crude drawings show a 30" tire on a 14" arm up to a +5" 19" arm all at the same angle of 28* this shows how at the max angle of around 28* you need to go +5 to net about 3" of lift. Any lift past that point is just eliminating down travel in your suspension. Not looking to piss you guys off but really hoping to show why.
Actually your wrong. I'm not sure what you drew there but this is why they build an arched a arm set up. It will keep some of the suspension angles for the shock which can be changed to still keep the ride to stock ride yet the lower arch can also yield less dragging in a mud grove. Also because it's arched it can give lift without having to go out 5 inches to get 5 inches of lift.
Actually your wrong. The drawing shows axle and cv angle and is not relevant to arm arch one way or the other.
You can lonely add lift past what the stock cv will allow if you
1-change to a cv joint that can go past stock.
2- lower the diff
3- add a portal setup
If I'm wrong show me some actual relevant info to show me. But it really isn't rocket science the axle can only angle so much past that you have to go wider or use 1-3 methods listed above
So we were not talking about CV angle you said that to go up the lift you must go out. Your assuming that the stock is at it's max angle but these lifts are not using stock axles and CV. Also stock is able to do a sharper angle because they do it now with a 2" HL lift If that lift was arched it could go up without going out more than stock. Yes at a point for stability and angles it will need to go out but not to the extent of a straight A-arm I also was being serious I didn't get what the drawing is I'm thinking it's 4 wheels at 4 heights but that is a straight a-arm not arched.
Stock width is 62 on a t4. I added a 2 inch hl kit and 1 1/2 inch spacers all the way around which should and 3 inches of width total. After the lift and spacers it measures 62.5 in the front. So a five inch lift on stock lengeth arms would make the tires much narrower. So +3 arms and 5 inches of lift should make the width close to stock. Just my .02
I have a 2012 T4. I am interested in 3"extra wheel base. 1.5" forward and 1.5" rearward. +3" width per side. IMO there is no way to go up 5" without going out at least 3". Otherwise it will be a T4 on stilts
Sounds like a good idea to me. 32's are about as big as I want to go. Mammoth Mayhems or Mudder In Laws...Make the lift Super ATV...
