What do you think of bracket lifts? Discuss below and tell Cass she is terrible with tools! :)
Mainville ATV and Outdoors she is getting it done😆 she rocks! Idk about bracket lift seems like its gonna do ya just fine we just put a 2” on my bike high lifter set just sent us spacers for springs i love it clears 5 gal bucket now
Mainville ATV and Outdoors your a lucky man.
@@matthewpennington4680 agreed!
Great job videos are pumping me up about upgrades on mine. Same machine. Eps mod. Lift brackets are great addition! Def looking to do this!
Lucky dude, smart beautiful and cool wife!
Love how you two work together. Great video.
Awesome job. You guys were a big inspiration for me getting my first ATV.
I love those tires I could go anywhere if I had those on my quad. It seems that there is always a moose on the other side of the mud hole or swamp
Nice job guys!! Cool how The wife came out in the shop and worked on her own machine sweet! LOL. Yeah that thing looks lifted real nice, interested to see what it looks like with the other tires. You guys are sure getting your machines ready to do some Muddin! Enjoyed the vid thanks for sharing!
I like how you make her struggle then bust out the power tools! Lol
The apprentice needs to learn haha
Lol agreed haha
I used to have the grizzly 700 ,but it was a power house after my 660 grizzly so I swapped it for a snowmobile. Then I bought a Kodak 2018 700 , same as yours but camouflage body . I like that lift kit and tires you got to put on your machine , think I might try same thing to mine .
Great video again guys! Cass you are a natural with those tools!
Thanks for watching! Try not to boost her ego too much ahaha
You 2 are awesome! Love the vids. Been binge watching all night!!
Thanks buddy!
@@MainvilleATV welcome man!
Looks sweet!
I remember fighting with my rear shocks as well when I did my lift.
Same lift? Thanks for always commenting buddy!
@@MainvilleATV Yep I got the same one. Only difference is on the rear plate they have the name Highlifter laser cut out.
I enjoy watching your videos. Always look forward for the next one.
Cheers!
Great video , nice teamwork .
Cool. Great looking rear tires too
Same tires all around! Thanks for watching buddy!
Love the fact she gets in to it wrenches and all!! This is couples therapy for sure.
Until a bolt snaps! 🤣
Awesome work Cass, and solid filming by your man. Hell of a team. Ditylife.ca yeah buddy.
Yeah dude! She wouldn't let me work on it, she said she had to do it herself!
BTW Cass you did great with the tools, and i love at the end how you stare at your machine just like most men do. You have the gaze for your bike...cool. Enjoy the upgrades and you both have a great Christmas.
Thanks! I'm absolutely loving it for sure! I'm just glad Kyle had enough patience to watch me struggle through the very easy installation process. - Cass
@@MainvilleATV He was great...better than I.
I would of liked to see how the 30s fit without a lift. Just crankin ip the spring preload. My 1000xp sportsman fits 30s with a minor trim of the rear side of the foot wells by cranking up the preload. I run monster mayhams amazing tire. 3800km no sign of wear so far.
Hey guys great video I love all your videos I know this one's old but it's very relevant to my situation, do y'all think 30s would fit on the Kodiak with no lift? Thanks
Them tires are frickn sick!
Did you have any problems with chamber I just put the highlighter 2in on my outlander and it got some noticeable positive chamber?
Can’t wait to get my lift kit in the mail and put it on my Kodak.
You're gonna love it! Took me a couple rides to get used to the new height from the lift and tires. - Cass
i was looking at tire weight i found the 29.5-10-12 outlaws are lighter then your sledgehammers, what made u deside to go with them?
Great video Yamaha is a great machine and nothing wrong with making it better great job you two
Amen ahaha
Great video I know it's old but I just bought the 2020 kodiak and put the 2 inch lift on it and put on 27 inch tires and the back tires sit on a slight angle any suggestions
I like it that this is not an "Only" Can Am thing when i se Cas work on her quad it is amazing nice not the biggest machine only 700 Yamaha but she is happy with it and that is so great :) great video !!
Thanks! I love my Kodiak, and I try to work in the shop with Kyle as much as possible so I don't lose sight of how much work he puts into our machines for us. Helps me get more of an appreciation for what it entails so I don't take it for granted. Thanks for watching! - Cass
Star stole the show. Good teamwork.
nice christmas present!? ;-)- wish you guys some nice holidays- greets from europe
You too bud! Thanks!
The angle of the dangle looks extreme and a 5 in diameter increase in tire ought to kill a lot of the Kodiak's grunt. I'll guess it needs to be re-geared if that can be done?
One of our more recent video we did custom clutch work. It wheelies and even gained top speed
That epi lift kit does that change the arc of the cv joints anput more wear and tear on them
Aí sim é parceira sempre sorrindo vídeo show huashuashuas!
What's the the lbs of the tire alone with out the wheel weight you may have to get beefier CV axle
Nice bike. Great video.
Thanks!
New sub! Hell yea love that yall ride together me and the fam get down the same way!!!
Thank you!
Your welcome!
Looking good
Thanks!
How do the sludgehammers handle on the dirt roads and trails? I gotta take off the outlaw 2's. They feel like slicks on the trails. Still want a mud tire thow
They handle pretty well honestly.
Did the increase in tire size throw off the speedometer?
Man do I ever hate bracket LIFTS! But let me tell ya i’ve seen the abuse cass has put this machine through so far and them tires are ESSENTIAL!!
I agree they're not ideal but in her application I'm not so worried about it. Time will tell. Yeah her tire choice was dead on for sure. Thanks for watching Nick!
@@MainvilleATV If lite is what you are looking for ITP Mud Lite XXL Tire 30x10x12 is good. I may get the 30x12x12 .
@@crazyflyboy30 garbage tire. Called plug lites for a reason
@@jasonmorehouse3756 that shows how much you know because I been running a set of ITP MUDLITES for 4 years not the first plug ,I don't even have any plugs is how much I trust them.
I do not have any plugs at all either going on 6 years 2 seperate Honda quads which is why I’m
Buying another set of 30” for the new 2024 grizzly somethg new.
Cool video man
Thanks bud!
Does the tires make. Different. In speed. Like if u go 40km is it faster or slower?
Would it a affect ur cv axles life wise
How does the bracket lift hold up on the yamaha? Axles holding up ok? Mine is great on my can am but thinking about a new grizzly and would definitely want the bracket lift if it is reliable
We've only abused it a hand full of times so far but no issues yet!
What do you say the tires that are on it now that you're taking off our mud light Pros I'll do the same thing start with them and there's no clutch kit required with those correct?
For the mud lights? You wont need any clutch work. They're an aggressive trail tire at best.
Girls that are not afraid to get in there and get dirty is deffenetly worth it.
I would have painted the back plate black cus it stands out :)
Did you add clutch weights?
Wish i could go out n buy another 2" ol lady would be pumped.
Lmmfao I know right 😂😂
I have a 2022 Kodiak 700. I’m wanting to lift it and upgrade to taller tires. What or is there a time when you should consider a clutch kit and tuner? For instance getting bigger tires equals you should upgrade clutch and a performance tuner?
You tune the machine when you get it, or when you do a high flow exhaust. You do clutching when you do tires. I always talk to dirtylife.ca when I make any major changes. Good luck!
When you guys put the lift kit on the front did have to readjust the tow on where you increased the control arm angle?
Nope.
Stock 25s on it in the video? Just put 26 inch zillas on my bike and contemplating a lift because the only issue I'm having is ground clearance, I was worried it would look silly with 26s and the lift.
Yes, 25 Mud Lites.
What’s the tire size on the new tires
As always love the video, l would've spent all my time petting the puppie. lol. When he asked about the nut behind you should've said behind the camera. lol. We just got the Mud Lite 2's for my hubby's bike and l thought they looked awesome, you guys are rad. Course we are a tad bit older. lol.
After browsing the comments alittle I noticed no one let u know what that tool was You used to aline the hole it’s called a lady finger and it’s purpose was to do exactly what u used it for and the other end is used for putting rubber seals hope this comment helps you on future projects when u need that specific tool. Also awesome connect and awesome seeing u and your lady working together
Haha thanks! Been using it for exactly that for years and never knew its proper name
word of advice, when working with tires you should always push the breaker bar instead of pull, i spent a week in bed because i took out my back pulling instead of pushing
Hey , Cass whas right i'm from Belgium and Toyota dealer's are also part of Yamaha motor compagnie
Greetings from Poland, nice job, I enjoyed watching and I'm looking forward to the next movies with mounting various accessories for your quads.
Greetings are sent by the team 4wheels, Wioletta and Przemo :)
Thank you!
can I ask where did you buy the bracket for your tiger tail? also I have a 2019 grizzly with 12' rims... where could I buy some better tyres with big treads. thanks I am based in the uk
Dirtylife.ca for both Tony! They'll set you up.
I remember meeting you folks at the CSRA on Saturday the day my Grandson won the novice 1 200 cc do you have any footage of that?
Hey Paul, yeah we have two videos from the day: czcams.com/video/CKk_hCzW4q8/video.html
And
czcams.com/video/M1x1JAnnAhA/video.html
GLASSGLOWZ Media was also there and got way more footage and photos, they'd be a good channel to contact too.
Hope this helps! - Cass
I’m getting a 2020 Yamaha grizzly 700 I could use some of those sledgehammer tires because I’m big on mudding
We got ours from Dirty Life. Feel free to check out their Facebook page or website: www.dirtylife.ca
Wanted to get some feedback on the lift kit and how it is doing...yes I seen the videos, but have you had any trouble with axles or go aftermarket with the kit? Thanks in advance.
Hey, no issues with axles at all, still running stock. Rides like a dream. - Cass
Damn good job there didn't look any different than when I mess around with half my toys only difference is you had somebody to put your face on the internet
Did you have to adjust the tie rods at all, I’ve been thinking about this 2” lift for my grizzly how do you feel about the quality
Feels fine no I did not adjust. Keep an eye on it and torque it down again after a ride should be good to go
Mainville ATV and Outdoors thanks for the reply great video very helpful
What size tires are on it before the 30s. I just bought 27s for my Grizz and wonder if it would look silly with the 2" lift.
We got the bike with 25s initially and put 25 mud lites. Than we did the lift and 30s
@@MainvilleATV Perrfect! Looked ok with the 25s too, so should look good with my 27 Zillas. Thanks!
What kind of rear winch are you running and bracket. I like the compactness of that rear winch you have there
It's actually a Tiger Tail which isn't quite a winch. It's more of a spring retractable tow rope. Not powered at all if that makes sense.
Mainville ATV and Outdoors Lol I have one and I know what you are taking about. But most people think it's a winch on my yamaha to when they first see it.
Are the 25” mud lights also great in snow?
They're fairly bad but manageable if you air down.
Angle on those drive shafts O.o
man your really making her work for it .... lol limited power tools, angled ratchet which will piss her off after awhile . One thing I learned with the ladies and tools is make it easy as possible to keep them interested. Keep up the great work !! :)
How are you finding the axles after installing the lift?
Not too sure yet, only had one day ride on them with the lift! Thanks for watching!
Keep me updated! I just sold a 2” lift because they were hard on the axles!
Will u have to adjust ur transfer case to alleviate the universals for a 2 inch lift
Nope, it's fine
@@jasonmorehouse3756 ok
Did u do anything to the clutch
Not yet, but it is ordered! Should have a video in the near future!
You went sledge hammers awesome! looks good guys. Nothing wrong with the bracket lifts. Can’t wait to see them tires in action. I heard them Ricky-isms in there to haha.
Ahah. Yeah, we have a ride video coming soon enough!
👍📽 I'm thinking about doing the same thing on my Yamaha Grizzly 700
That's awesome! Not sure if it's mentioned in this video, but we ended up adding 1 inch spacers to help with how tippy it got with the extra 5 inches of clearance from the lift and tires combined. Good luck!
Great videos. I do have a question, did the bracket lift compress the shocks any after installing and did you notice a stiffer ride? Thanks.
It was slightly stiffer yes. We went with elkas right after this so couldn't tell
@@MainvilleATV thanks for the reply. I’m making the switch from an ‘18 can am outlander 650 (15500km) to a ‘22 Grizzly 700. Watching your videos is making it hard to not order the parts I need before new atv arrives.
@@Solly937 when did you order? I ordered in September just got her last week.
@@marshallandgunner2775 I ordered November 1st. Was told anytime after February.
@@Solly937 awesome man! enjoy!
From northern Alberta how do you like the slugdehammer tires thinking of them for my wifes renegade.
👍👍👍toyota
Definitely a killer tire. We have a full write up on them on our website in the description if you'd like!
What 30"tires and wheels did you use on kodiak
OEM SE wheels and 30x10r12 Sludgehammers.
Can I get some info on the rear winch?
Not a winch. It's a tiger tail tow system from www.dirtylife.ca
I have a question did y’all have a hard time with the front shocks, like getting the bolts through the shocks?
Also I wanna say thank you sooo Much for this video I have a 16 grizzly 700 I made my own lift kit from 1/4 inch scrap laying around lol, the rear ones I made bolted right on lol 😂 just having trouble with my front right shock ... so I was just curious. Also my a arm didn’t seem to want to drop that far from stock position is that normal? I know the kodiakis basically a smaller grizzly so that’s the only reason I’m asking lol

I might have missed it, but who makes the winch lanyard?
Tyed up paracord on facebook mah dude! Tell him kyle sent you he will hook you up! Lol get it... hook you.. whatever.
@@MainvilleATV Hey thanks yo!
good
Did you try the 30s without a lift, I'm trading in my sportsman 1000xp for a new Kodiak or grizzly, I'm curious if I can run my 30 inch monstermayhams without lifting it
They will rub without it. The lift is cheap, I'd do it.
Are you using your stock rims that come with the kodiak? And what are those tires called
Yes, we kept the stock rims (special edition) and the tires are 30x10r12 CST Sludgehammers. - Cassandra
Mainville ATV and Outdoors did you have to do any clutches work to pull those big tires ?
We ended up doing some clutch work in the end, yeah.
Our buddy from Custom BF Clutching did it for us (gold spring for the secondary, milled and 14gr/16gr alternating weights in the primary, 1mm shim, greaseless setup).
Hey guys with the lift and tires how are the axles with the stress I just ordered my lift tires will be here next week
No idea yet. Lol nothing has broken.
@@MainvilleATV awesome lol thanks for the quick reply and keep up with the great work
Axles are still going strong :)
I would like to have one of those winch cables where could I get one Thanks...
Are you referring to the pink attachment? If so, you can look up 'Tyed Up Paracord' on Instagram or Etsy.
Thanks for watching!
So the two inch Highlifter kit doesnt really affect the integrity of the axles? I have a 2019 Grizzly and I want to do the 2 inch lift HL and wanna do bigger tires but nervous about 30s breaking my axles. can you give me some insight on how things have been? Should i go for the 30s?
What ya thing brother ?
Hey man, I'm on stock axles with my 30inch tires and 2inch lift (with clutch work done) on my Kodiak and still going strong 2 years in. You should be just fine with the set up you're looking at. - Cass
@@MainvilleATV Where did you get your clutch work/kit from? Thanks!
Got the EPI clutch kit from Dirty Life (www.dirtylife.ca), and the work was done by BF Clutching (on Facebook).
Did it get top heavy with the lift? I’m thinking about getting a 2” but the grizzly is a little tippy already
Yeah, mine was already a bit tippy as well and the lift definitely made it more top heavy. 1inch spacers solved all that instantly. It's much much better now with the spacers. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! - Cass
Awesome any issues running the spacers ?
Only been out on one ride since the install but no issues at all so far.
Did the bigger tires clear with the lift? I'm doing the same to my 2020 kodiak 700.
Yes they did.
@@MainvilleATV just finished the lift in mine now waiting for the tires to come.
My service manager told me for my polaris that even a 1” lift the axle would need to be changed. He said the stock axles bearings will be stressed by the increased angle when the wheels are unladen. I know you’re a mechanic, you’re not changing axles, did you research this?
There is no doubt more stress on your axles in this application, as long as you ride accordingly you'll be fine. The angles of both CV's are still the same which is key and no "length" changed. What you may be referring to is a different style of lift like an A-Arm lift that can definitely happen.
@@MainvilleATV I didn't finish the video before writing the comment...i didn't like stressing the constant velocity axle joint with a bar to get the shock mounted! I'm a worrier, you're a skilled mechanic who knows what he's doing. Great video your wife is a real trooper and did a great job! If i was going to buy a Japanese bike it would be a Yamaha, the rear suspension is cool!
How are the axles holding up did you need to upgrade them
All original stock axles for both of us, no issues.
@@MainvilleATV thanks for the reply good to know.
Any idea if the lift kit would work on the 2020 kodiak 700?
Likely, yamaha never changes anything lol
Yes it will work.
Air Ratchet is a Knuckle Saver
I’m still looking for a video on 2022 grizzly 2” lift kit.Haven’t seem one yet. I guess no one know how to do that one yet.
Unless I'm unaware of something, they havent changed? If something has, dirtylife.ca would know about it.
So how has the lift been so far? Any axle issues ?
Not yet, nope!
Still no problems :)
What type of snorkel kit do you have? Clean setup for sure!
We got it from dirty life.ca, it's a syatv kit.
@@MainvilleATV Appericate you!
@@dustintaylor1351 no worries thanks for watching 👊
I know this is an old video now, but with the 2" lift did yas ever run into axle problems because of the lift
Still running stock axles, no problems whatsoever. :) - Cass
I'm way out here on prince edward island where there is no rock and all mud lol gotta play
😂😂😂beer o’clock 🍺
How many axles did u go threw
No a single one! Thanks for watching!
Still going strong :P
I came here for the cute girl
I stayed for the cute girl. Haha
Me too😁
@@MainvilleATV At dream woman who like this kinda thing :) You are lucky !!
I also wanted to know if you mounted all four tires the same size 25 by 10 by 12 or did you just do the standard 25 by 10 x 12 in the back in the 25 by 8 by 12 in the front?
Standard. 10 wide rear, 8 wide front. Honestly 10 wides fit perfect though
what his the name of the tire ? and how big? thank you
