Hey guys just seeing what everyone is running for clutch springs when running 28" to 30" tires on the 2012 and newer brutes.

100%, byotch to put in too, but works awsome

I don't remember it being to bad. But I did get the puller and clutch tools. And that was primary spring. I had 28" xtr mudlites and had zero issues turning them.

Yah I tried to put a yellow secondary in from highlifter and it was about twice as long. I got it in and took it for a ride and it wouldn't go faster then 40.

It was good in the mud would pull your arms off but sucked on the trails. It was hard on gas cause it would be screaming everywhere! I miss my bf.

Changing out the clutch spring and doing tires and lift should I worry about my axles breaking?

I wouldn't they have pretty tough axles. I had a lift with tires and clutching, lift kit, pipe, chip and drove it hard and never broke a stock axle. But I did put in rhino axles and broke them. So I put the stock ones in and they kept going.

Don't know how the secondaries are on brute force, but arctic cat did us a favor and predrilled holes in the clutch sheave and on the spring helix, we can adjust our spring tension by repositioning the springs in different holes. To easily compress the clutch, get a 2 foot piece of all thread rod, and two big nuts, weld one nut to the bottom flush with the rod, then you slide the clutch on, and tighten the nut and it will compress your clutch and nothing can go anywhere.
