yes the lift will add stress to to your quads axle joints because of the angle. i am running 4- 28x11x12 titan 589s on my grizz. i love that tire plus the rim guard is the best there is. i have about 1000 miles on em and they are still better than half tread..plus they are run flat tires meaning you can run them with 0 psi in them. i was about 20 miles from my truck when my quad starting pulling hard to 1 side and thats when i notice i had a flat. but i was able to ride the quad back the 20 miles with no problem or never comming off the bead.....

those 12" wide tires all the way around will brake an axle before a 2" lift will (depending on your riding habbits).

HI scarecrow, My ARTIC CAT came with 25x8x12 front & 25x10x12 rear, I'm going to put 27x10x12 front & 27x12x12 rear, I think if I go with a taller and wider tire it mite rub. As for now I'm not going to lift the ARTIC CAT.

HI Texas Outlaw, I'm new to riding QUADS, last time I was riding, there were only 3-wheels, and I had a YAMAHA 225 DX, I want to THANK every-one for giving me advice, I thought wider tires were better for the MUD, I didn't know it could break an axle?????
