Status: offline 		whats going on guys, i've been thinking about the 3'' extreme lift. Is it worth cutting the old shock mount off to enable new mount to be installed. Is the ride stable?

The ride is a lot more stable also, the way the shocks are stood up straighter they will be somewhat stiffer and you won't have as much body roll.
This is just my opinion.... But I believe you will be very happy with the lift.
Not sure about the BRP box.. I am running the tri-fire box from Hunterworks on mine and I ahve been very happy with it..
Again, not sure about the bayou snorkel, I am running the submarine snorkels on my bike.. Great fit and product, and you DO NOT have to glue anything together..

Make sure you notch the frame or you will be buying right rear axles every ride.

Look at the HighLifter kit.  Tells you to notch the frame in the instructions.

If you don't believe me, go out to the rhino and remove the bottom shock bolt.  Push down on the spindle about an inch and see what happens.  The axle hits the frame.  The only way go gain GC is to notch the frame. 

I just did a hub flip and called it a day on the rear.  Cost $0.

If you have a 660, might be a different story all together.

I didn't have to notch my frame and I have the 3inch lift on a Rhino 700.  My axles have plenty of clearance.  Does flipping the rear hubs give you more clearance on the 700?

Status: offline 		Thanks for the input. I would really like to lift my rhino but unsure if it would be worth the risk factor of axle and gear problems. I like the mudlites, but would like to try some laws or some backs for mud ridding trips. I have read time and time again that people say stay with 27'' and lower. This enables the machine to keep up tire rpm and does not bog the machine down. I would like to put 28'' backs on the rhino, they say that tire is as tall as the 29.5'' law, and it is true. My neighbor has 29.5 laws on his 4-wheeler and purchased the backs for his new rzr and the height was the same. Will the 3'' exteme lift allow me to run a tire in the 29.5 range.
When the snorkle is added, is jetting pretty much a much, and did you pick up any power due to more air intake?

You can't do a hub flip on the Rhino 700, unless you switch the calipers from one side to the other and move them to the front of the rotor.  That's way to much trouble for me to bother with.

That would put your caliper upside down and on the front of the rotor.  How is that working for you?  You can take a rag and a pair of vise grips and clamp the brake line, so you won't have to bleed it as much.  Is the brake line long enough to reach?

I run my 29.5 swamplites on mine sometimes.  I have pretty good ground clearance with them.  I haven't measured it though.  Next time I have them on, I'll see if I can clear a 5 gallon bucket.

yea, I'll check my Grizzly before I do it.  I had to take my brake lines loose at the caliper, because in order to flip the hubs with the rear wheel disc brakes you must move the caliper to the front of the rotor.  It's mounted to the rear of the rotor with the hub in the stock location.

It's pretty easy.  The hardest part will be bleedin' the brakes.  I'm kinda concerned about the passenger side axle though.  It looks like it might rub the frame.  I'm gonna take my shocks down a couple of notches and see if that doesn't give it a little more space.  It's not touching the frame, but it's pretty close.

I hope not.  If there is I can always put it back to normal.  I'll get some after pics, because I've already moved them.

The only problem I'm having is bleeding the brakes.  I've about got it whipped though.  At least the pedal will pump up nice and tight, so I'm close.
Don't let that deter you, because as you can see, it does make a difference.  I'll get a picture of it on my driveway, so you can compare it to pictures of my Rhino, on my driveway, with the lift before I flipped the hubs.
