I wanted to post results and details of my RTV-XG850 lift job. I like the machine, but ground clearance was lacking. I could bottom on two-track roads and was disappointed in that. I also couldn't stomach buying a Ranger, so I finally tried to get this Sidekick to be more useful. Haven't hit the woods for hunting season, but first look is promising.
The job:
Demon Powersports Bracket Lift Kit (PABL-31001HD)
2 sets of 2" wheel spacers (PAWS-1034)
Sunf 28x10-12 tires on the Kubota OEM wheels (installer said they were a challenge to install)
I think the clearance looks great and is much improved. No rubbing at full steering lock, although I haven't jounced it hard at full lock. I think the wheel spacers stabilize the higher machine in turns. Pics attached.
