I havent tired then yet but it seems i misunderstood a few things and probably should of got a HD10. I searched here but seen that most people got the HD10 and have no issues, just wonder what i need to do to get 30's to fir the HD9 i have. will a 2" bracket lift work, 3" spacer lift? or do i need to spend $1000 (CAD) to get forward a-arms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try the tires before spending lots on a lift or a arms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about putting a bracket lift and 30's on it as well. I'm curious to hear the info here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I researched and learned that if the from A arms are arched or the same as the 2023 model you will have no problem. I would try them first.

I put on the S3 HD springs and run 30" tires just fine, S3 springs eat up about an 1" to 1-1/2" of suspension sag. Model year 2023 Max XT HD9 has a GC of 11" and the HD10 Max Xt has a GC of 13".

Superatv cannot tell me if it will fit or not. A-arms are the same but they cant confirm if the front lift bracket will mount up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt there is any frame difference in a HD7 or HD9 or HD10, just differences in what's bolted on to them. Places like SuperATV, won't commit to saying their stuff works on a model they didn't test it on due to liability reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
