What new tires and wheels are in store for our Talons? Looks like you have some 35 inch mud tires and wheels comming in the near future -- please give us a sneak peak along with price range.
Well....you're in luck!! ?Wow, I love the 42s -- trouble is I am on my better halfs -- No Buy List. Have to be good and make sure she is very happy before I even think of them!
I am having 6" portals and a arms installed, is there a 2" lift for the Talon x4? And will this allow for 42" to not rub?Lol!! @BlueDog1210 ?? I'll get you fixed up whenever the time comes to pull the trigger.
The 42"s are going to rub pretty good with the arms and 4" lift. In the little sneak peak pic from a few weeks ago, that Talon had our arms and 6" portals, and they still rubbed a little....but only at full turn and the occasional bump. You can probably get away with it if you're ok with some rubbing and not trying to flex the suspension too much.
There is a 2" lift kit for the X2s. Check with SuperATV for the x4s -- there are other options I am going to look at, but with a bit of luck there is a way to squeeze them in. Be sure to post in the New Member Introductions so we can all welcome you. Please post your progress here and do post a few pictures when the time comes. The portal install was not a big deal but Red's Off-road in Florida will install them for free if you buy them from then and they use SuperATV portals as well. Be sure to get the case (6 bottles) of Portal Blood as you will need to change the Portal oil 2 or 3 times after the first tides. That will be a beast, what reduction are you going to select? Ride safe and I am sure you will have a ton of fun in the beast! I love the Portals especially when combined with the Internal Gear Drive.I am having 6" portals and a arms installed, is there a 2" lift for the Talon x4? And will this allow for 42" to not rub?
Hey man! Unfortunately we don't have a 2" lift ready for the X 4 seater model yet. We still have to play with those shocks. With the forward arms and 6" portals you can easily do a 36" maybe 37" with no rubbing. I think your main issue is width and getting those tires out away from the shocks and away from the fender well. The R model has a lot more tire clearance. Wheel spacers will help, but I can't say exactly what you what need to get 42"s on there. Probably not a whole lot.I am having 6" portals and a arms installed, is there a 2" lift for the Talon x4?

Would using the 2" Lift for Talon X 2 seater (shock spacers) work on the X4 to give extra Lift?Hey man! Unfortunately we don't have a 2" lift ready for the X 4 seater model yet.

Unfortunately those spacers aren't going to work. They're not going to fit right on your shocks. The springs have a different ID and OD.Would using the 2" Lift for Talon X 2 seater (shock spacers) work on the X4 to give extra Lift?
