This is what it looks like and I heated up my body and hung it from the rafters too take up the slack and get the body away from the tires.

Bushman, looks good, it's surprising what a "careful" person can do with a heatgun.
The 25" tires do take a little off the top but not so much that is not worth running the big tires.
The slickest way to get the needed clearance is to use eye nuts on the body bolts and suspend the Max from the rafters with ropes and heat up the body with a heat gun or salamander heater. As the body heats up put more tension on the ropes and when you get what you need cut out the heat and let things cool down for awhile. The body will stay put for quite a while like this and yes on a hot day if you leave your buggy in the sun you might lose your gain.
I am working on something in regards to the Max II body clearance issue and will put up some pictures when I perfect my innovation.
I am running a 16 hp Vanguard with high springs and weights in the drive clutch and it works out great for me. I am easy to please and am totally happy with this combo. I believe that if someone wanted to, they could play around and get better performance but I just don`t care that much and will probably wait till some one else figures out what works better and go with that myself.

Bushman ,
How much clearance do you have now between the middle and rear wheels since you installed the 25 " rawhides on your Max II ?
K rims come in 8 and 12"
If you want a 9" wheel that'll hold a bead on a rawhide 25x9, Matt Oxender makes an aftermarket wheel for his Mudd Ox. Same dimensions as a bigfoot or avenger wheel at 9"x10" wide.
The 25-11-9 is supposed to be a little taller than a 25-12-9 according to goodyear specs.
