As promised.....photos of the lift. Need to get 30" tires now, just not sure what tire I'm going with. Thinking of Rocktanes or Blackwater Evolutions.

Seen a General with the 30" Rocktanes and it was something. I will be doing the Rocktanes on mine a bit later.

Looks Really Good! So does wherever you took the pictures!

^Agreed. Good looking General, and location.

If you like the Roctanes from STI then check out the Chicanes, they are 5-6lbs lighter and still 8 ply Here is a pic of mine, they are 30x10x14's all the way around on STI HD5 Beadlocks

Pro armor crawlers for the win. Chicains are great to but are horrible in any kind of mud

I was thinking about the Roctane XD, but after reading the specs, Roctanes are 48.5lbs and the Blackwaters are 33lbs.

Ya don't have much mud here in Cali and if there is any we avoid it at all cost

Did you change your axles?

 

[Steve]

Have the 30" Roctane on HD5s on mine and they work great in the rocks and mud. Love the ground clearance and the extra tire weight doesn't seem to affect it much.

Looking good, Steve!

Did you change your axles?

No, still using stock axles.

Looks like the Chicains would clean well in mud. May be an 8" tire would be better. Some tires need a little more RPM to clean and dig. I've had some tires that were like those (without the sipe in the cleat) that did great in some gumbo mud in La.

Hey new member here. I am in the market for one of these and came across this specific thread. Can anyone tell me with the 3" SuperATV lift and a 30" tire, what is the height with the roof? I'm trying to figure out if I can put it in my toy hauler with a 3" or not without taking out one of the beds. My teryx now is 75" or so and have to take the bottom bunk out. I may get a custom cage put on when I get one depending on the height of this. Thanks!

Welcome to the site Skidz.

The stock height overall for the General is 74", so it sounds like a lift is definitely going to require you to take out the bunk.

I measured mine this weekend and it is 77" to the highest point of the roof.

 

[Skidz]

Thanks for the replies. Well when I do get one I may just be looking at the arched a arms for now and later looking at getting the lift. Maybe a custom cage or at least a cage chop to start may have to happen if I do the lift later. I'm not going super custom with this one, just hopefully a reliable machine that I won't have to worry non stop. But I first need make sure I can put it in the hauler and fit.

 

[GJCOMMANDO]

I'm thinking of going 29" or 30" on my buggy when I get it. I keep wanting to go to something like a Kanati Mongrel but the mud in the mountains here can be like peanut butter.

Not sure of a tire yet... my oldest is a manager at a Discount Tire so I can get the employee deal. Or a I got a buddy that is an RM at Colorado Components and gives me a deal. That's where I got the tires and wheels on the Commander.

Welcome Skidz!

waiting on my Super ATV 3" lift to arrive tomorrow. I was reading the instructions online and it says the remove the rear axles, calipers, hubs, and knuckles for installation of the lift brackets. I am looking and don't see (from the pictures) why this is necessary. Did you guys have to remove all those parts to install? Looks like you should be able to remove the shock and the one bolt from the lower A-arm to install the brackets
