Please give me your advice on what tires and lift kit to use on a RTV 900 WS.

I need lots of traction and ground clearance.

Thanks!

Essex lift kit works good to get additional 1 3/8" of lift and then add Essex 27" 589 tread run flat tires with Kevlar belts. Love mine and it pulls through anything.

See attached picture.

I know we are talking about tires here but I am really interested in the bumbers on your RTV. Did you make them? I would love to get my hands on a set like that. They look great. Do you have any pictures showing how you mounted you wintch?

The bad news is they are custom built by me, so there is no simple option to just purchase them. Both bumpers attached to the existing factory hitch and the hitch on the bumper is a standard 2" hitch. The front is the easiest to attach because you can just use the two factory 12mm holes in the frame bracket. The rear is tough, you have to go down to the rear axle to get more support for the hitch. You can't attach to the engine frame because it moves seperate from the hitch. I used 2x3x 3/16" tubing and welded the ends. The front is cut and bent to match the front curve of the grill guard. Then I just cleaned them real good with a grinder and die grainder with scotch brite pad and painted with Kubota gray in spray can.

See attached pictures...

I'll also attach a picture of my overhead console / switch panel I made from aluminum to close ceiling and handle all the wiring for my lights.
