1000xt Questions

I just picked up a 1000 XT it is completely stock. I like the bike but ground clearance sucks and with me ( 280lbs) and my 14 year old son on the back it bottoms out. So I did some research and decided to go with 2" shock spacers in the rear and 1 1/2" in the front. The bike now sits 2" higher and seems to ride just fine. I am now worried about the angle of the axles ( will this cause problems?). So currently it has 26" Big Horns on it and I want to up grade to 28" Mudzillas. I have been reading that I will need to put a clutch kit in with the bigger tires. If a 570 can run 28" Mudzillas why can my 1000 that has loads of power handle them?

Winter coming

Time to install the snowplow. I set mine up with rear tire chains and add 200 lbs. on the back racks. Dose anybody have a better system? I just don't see a way to add tire chains to the front seeing the tie rods are too close to the tires? Maybe some kind of front wheel spacers?
