Has anyone put a lift kit ontheir 1100? Will a lift kit for a 900 also fit the 1100 or are they different? If you havepost some pictures and give me a bit of info please. Another question is if you have put a lift kit on your 1100 and you have 27" tires installed does your tires rub at any time? Do you have front mud guards installed? I have seen a few posts on this site saying 26" tires rub on their 1100 so it is a no-brainer on the 27's. Any help and information will be appreciated.</P>

I have installed a lift on the 1100. It was listed as for the 900, so it would fit both. Front was a spacer for the top of the strut, rear was an extended shackle for the spring. Installation on the front was a bit of a hassle. Rear was easy. In my opinion, it is a waste of good money. The rear lift won't gain any ground clearance, and the front lift won't get you enough to bother with. You may feel differently. </P>
 
Tires are not consistant in their size. If I remember corectly the 26 BX tires that people are using , measure 25 1/2. While the 25 Bighorns measure 26 1/2. Some of those that are using 27s are using 9 inch wide up front. The width can make a difference... not just the height.</P>
