Need Mod Suggestions for 04.5 Sportsman 700 EFI

[Flipmode22]

Alright, I'm really starting to get into my ATV, which is a 2004.5 Sportsman 700 EFI. I was hoping to upgrade to the 2010 850 XP EPS, but newborn cut that out, so I want to mod my machine up. I live in MN, and was thinking about a lift kit so that I can fit larger wheels and tires, and a clutch kit. My question is which lift kit should I go with, and which clutch kit? And do I need wheel spacers? I'm planning on 14" ITP 212 rims with mud lite XTR tires. I love the mud, but do more trail riding than mudding, are these the right tires for my needs?

I was researching lift kits, and some like the High Lifter 2" kit, but others aren't fans, which one do you all prefer, and do you have any wheel bearing issues?

Also, I'm having issues with belt my belt slipping, any ideas?

Thank you for all your help!!!

Late,
