Hauck also has big wheel clutch springs. I am using both Hauck sheave and springs.

What are the wheels from?

You will pick up some good mid range power with the slip on. The full pipe will probably net you a little more top end power but most likely sacrifice low end. The larger head pipe will probably reduce beackpressure a lot.

I dont have any advice for you guys on the DG setup, but if you do make sure you post some videos. I have not seen any on youtube yet. It is a good resource but there always has to be the first guy to make the leap of faith!

Welcome, put up some pics

I know that no one makes aftermarket A Arms for wolverines. I went down the wider offset rims and wheel spacer path and found it takes much more steering input to ride it. This is due to the increase leverage the wheel has because the tread is further away from the fulcrum point (ball joints)...

I am looking into Douglas (DWT) rims. They are a plain silver or black aluminum wheel that they make in a 12 X 6. If I can find them in a 5+1 I think it would be very similar to stock.

Here is what I found a while back. http://www.wolverinecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1307&highlight=stabilizer

I wouldnt do that because you have to take the wheels off a lot. Then besides making it difficult to get off you run the risk of breaking the studs.

The rear brakes on quads usually don't last very long anyways. Everyone I know replaces their rear pads much more often than fronts. You have to think that there are 2 calipers up front and only 1 in the rear so it takes more of a beating.

I also use the same one on mine. You can find it if you Google "Moose Racing Wolverine Winch Mount"

I cant imagine it would cause any trouble other than placing more stress on the rear axle, which should be a problem. I know when I had the aftermarket wheels on mine the fronts were spaced out farther than my rears so I also had to run spacers on the rear to even it out with the front.

Like you say I am sure the carrier can handle it but I just don't know about the truck. I think most hitches are only rated for 300-400 lbs tongue wieght.

Wheels are sold

The only thing I have to say is that a 2 stroke bike is WAY lighter than a 4WD wheeler.

If you are looking to gain bottom end grunt, go with the clutch kit.

Do you guys know of any aftermarket rims that are closer to factory width? I called ITP and they said thier 5+2/2+5 actually measure closer to 4+3/3+4 which adds about 4" to total width of the weeler.

Like I said in the other post, they will give you some mid range but you should look into an EPI clutch kit if you need dune power. I did the Hauck sheeve too, so I picked up bottom end and my top speed was unchanged as well.

They pretty much dont make any full options for the 450. The claim is that it would loose too much bottom end torque. The HMF slip on with the K&N and jetting actually makes a suprising gain in the mid range though.

I am still really suprised that no one makes an aftermarket wheel with closer to stock offset!
