27" tires and 4 or 6 aboard is going to be tough on that little motor.

I also need to know what the factory uses for the lift and how many inches of lift they do . Almost seems like there doing 2in spring arch and reversing the rear axle for rear and 2in spring and drop axle front on my SP but not sure

You’re gonna want to do something about the engine cradle too. That’s a hell of an angle, your motor is gonna be starving for oil. You’re gonna need to drop the front end of the cradle down a good 4 inches or more

One thing to watch with 27s is the tire hitting the brake arm on left turns.
