Lifted Cat
Made a lift kit for my 4 seater. Have very little cost in it. I used steel I had laying around. Used a couple cutting disks, a grinding disk, some paint and a little weld wire. Its about a 3.25 inch lift

I can't keep the drive train together as is and the next size up tire is more than 100 bucks . I can't justify that much for 1 inch taller tire

They are 26 inch. Front 9 inch wide rear is 11 I think. Yeah I made brackets to extend the shocks. Lowered the top of the back mounts and raised the front lower mounts
Oh 14 inch rims. Got to much invested in wheels to change rim size Last edited by Patrick45015; 08-04-2014 at 12:46 PM. |

I'm on a wildcat forum. Been a fair amount of people that have done a 3.5 inch lift and haven't had more than normal axle issues. I had waited for results. The axle angle doesn't look to bad but we shall see. I already blew the gears in trans from stress I don't want to add even more weight to the wheel and break the gears sooner. Wildcat needs a separate trans divorced from engine but I have to deal with what I have

Is the trans issue from beating it or manufacturer flaw?

My opinion its designed for a quad not a sxs. Most of my riding is steep hills so I do put a lot of stress on drive train.

When I used to ride 4 wheelers back in the day it seemed like I spent more time working it than riding it, it sounds like I don't ever need 1 of these, if these have alot more power and weight then the math sounds simple, with my driving style it would stay broke most of the time.

I have definitely broke some stuff but I do more with this than I ever did with my rail buggy and break much less. I had lost all confidence in my rail buggy. I would baby it to the point it was boring and still broke. I have been very happy overall. My rail would never do what this does. I expect a certain cost in doing what I do.
