Check out the forum at Highlifter (www.highlifter.com) . You will get many more responses there. I would not go too much taller than the stock tires. I believe stock size on the 300 4x4 is 23"ers in the front and 24s in the back. Remember to stagger the fronts and rears by one inch because the 300 4x4 is full time 4x4 and the gear ratios are different in the front and rear differentials. I had a supertrapp pipe, K&n filter and jetted carb on my 300 4x4 with 25" front/26" rear Mudbugs. It would pull them alright but in the nasty holes, I could not turn them over and I weigh 150lbs. Remember, the displacement on that motor is only 282cc's. I have not heard many good things about the 250X/300EX head swap. Most people ended up going back to stock due to problems but I haven't tried it. PM me if you need anything else. Sorry for the length.
