If you want to keep your ride quality..there is a fender mod. that can be done to allow larger tires in the front without rubbing the firewall. If you put the spacer and bracket lift on it, its going to ride quite a bit stiffer but you should beable to run up to 31's with the lift and fender mod. What size motor is it?? the 500 or 800??

I have heard them things are hard on tires so keep that in mind or atleast find out because it may effect your tire choice but with that said ITP makes tires for the sidebys and has some pretty cool tires

You gonna have to put a lift. You can adjust your rear shocks and relocate them in the higher mounting holes but the problem is with the front. The front on your bike has struts and not shocks which makes it a little harder. They switched to front shocks on the new ones. I run 26" outlaws on mine and it will go wherever.

3" catvos doesnt hurt the ride, and you get the 2" foward a arms with this. i just sold one not long ago with this and it was a beast... ran 31" outlaws. go with the 6" if you got the extra cash... the 6" is wicked!

I understand it goes wider. But does that help the stability or does the lift make it more top heavy

is it going to be a bogging bike? or just a hunting bike? if you are going to bog it, go big or go home. if your going to hunt with it, it will tuck a 28 depending the tread size also if you go big realize you are going to put alot of stress on axles so beefing them up woudnt be a bad idea since it will be tore apart
