I don't really think a lift will keep it from sinking.

Catvos can build you a lift kit but you will also need to replace the stock axles or they will bind and break.

There is currently no bolt on lift for that machine yet. Only options right now are HD springs and/or larger tires. Or like stated above, call CATVOS and they can build you a custom lift.

the ONLY options to stop it from sinking are:
loose weight... haha just kidding.
larger tires... maybe spacers and larger tires...
the question is, Do you KNOW whats under the mud?
if i KNEW that under 14" of mud there was an asphalt road then a lift WOULD help as the tires could reach the bottom and the underside of the machine wont touch the ground (saying you have 12" of clearance) .
you get stuck because you loose momentum, mostly because of increased friction and loss of traction...
a lift would help you loose some friction as the underside WONT touch but this will only result in you going abit further...
however, you still wont have any traction, the only options are either digging deeper (lift and skinny tires) IF the bottom provides more traction (harder mud for example)
if the bottom DOESNT help, the other option is to try and float ontop of the mud, yet again the traction will be limited but might aswell get you OVER the mudhole.
the only way to do this is to get larger tires or tracks....
hope i helped.

Highlifter has confirmed that their lift for the touring will work on the 2010-2012. You will need different front axles or their axle bar kit though.
