I also can't remember for sure if I was riding on my set of 26" GBC Gators on ITP C-Series rims or 25" Swamp Foxes on the stock rims? I loved the Swamp Foxes for regular riding but I see they are stupid expensive now. The GBC Gators are great for traction but were a rough ride on dry, hard packed trails so I reserved them for winter which is why I bought them to begin with.
That's a nice difference! Last ATV I owned was a 2004 Rancher AT 400 4x4. I wonder if this lift would've made a difference in the outcome that one time I rode into a watery mud hole that was seat high and actually made it float a little, also reducing my traction for forward momentum. I had to get towed out then drain my airbox. Luckily I didn't hydro lock. But... on another note, don't buy a Hondamatic. After 8000 miles with regular oil changes and filter cleanings/reoilings the Hondamatic transmission lost 2nd and 3rd gears so it was unrideable without a new unit installed and at that time (2008 or so?) It was about 2k for a new hondamatic unit and I was quoted 2k for labor so I sold it broke for $600. Only automatic I'll trust now is Yamahas Ultramatic or stay with foot shift like my 03 Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4 which I should've kept.
Nice choices for upgrades and clean wiring too thanks for the video

What made the biggest difference for me was TIRES!
What kind of lift did you use?
