Perfex lift is said to give about 1.5 inches of clearance. It is a little more expensive but Im ordering one just because guys claim that it gives a softer ride. You wont have problems turning 26' tires. If you look around here I have just about the smallest tires at 27'. If I were you I would find something a little more aggressive. I was really impressed with the difference that tires make. just with aftermarket tires I am able to go many more places than my friend with his diff locked artic cat on stock tires. I run a mud tire but I travel all sorts of terrain and I still get smooth ride.
