Casper 4 Posted February 9, 2021 Hello All, I am making a lift for my 1987 Honda TRX350D. I’ve actually had it since 1987. I know parts are obsolete, but can someone please tell me what shocks I can use on front and back to accommodate my newly purchased 29.5” Outlaw II tires on 14” ITP rims??? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,032 Posted February 9, 2021 welcome to ATVH, I'm not sure on over size tires, i run stock on my 86, sure someone will be along, to advise on those old girls, be sure to post us some pics. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 6,877 Posted February 9, 2021 Welcome aboard. I'm pretty sure if you lift it much, you're going to have to stretch it or you're going to run into an issue with the Ujoint angle. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadetree 5,502 Posted February 9, 2021 there are none for shocks, gonna say it once, and leave it at that, if you put those tires on that atv ?, you will ruin it, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 17,866 Posted February 9, 2021 I really have never read of anyone lifting a 350D more than 2 inch with shock extensions , other than Bill Byrd and he has Toyota truck axles under his 350D with like 44 inch tires ---- like Jeep mentioned , in the rear any more than 2 inches of lift and you will need a swing arm and drive shaft extension or you will destroy the u-joint and maybe crack off the output shaft housing and the way a 350D is made , it is the same way in the front with the swing arm , then when you extend the front swing arm , m the tires are going to be sticking out the front of the atv --- then you are going to need a gear reduction to handle them 29.5s --- I think it is not the atv to lift 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casper 4 Posted February 10, 2021 Thanks Everyone, I think I’ll leave it Stock. I definitely don’t want to destroy it. It’s been good to me for 30+ years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 6,877 Posted February 10, 2021 You can go up to a 27 or so. It definitely has the grunt to pull them. 29.5's are just too big to run without removing the fenders, and even then I'm not sure they'd clear. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
