    Gentlemen I’m a big man with a 200 blaster. It does great on trails just gets caught in grooves cause it’s so low. What can I do

    the only thing that's going to lift the carrier/axle is bigger tires.
    time to make new trails around those ruts

    What diameter tires do you have front and rear?

    Depending on your riding style you can go to 22s but I wouldn't jump much on them

    /\ there's your problem, 20/18 is what racers use on a groomed mx track, not rough trails
    stock tire size is 21 front and rear (IIRC, it's been so long since anything stock for me) :)
    most of us run 20" rear, and I like 22 fronts, but 21's will help too
    22 rear's will be close to hitting the foot boards without an extended swingarm

    I had 22" mud lites on warrior wheels that sometimes rubbed. Luckily I could flip them and gain about an inch each side.
    I don't know if all warrior or any other sport quad have that kind of offset.
    Also there 7×23" front tires available, would likely have to flip those rims.
