Clutch Kit Input
Folks, I have a 2018 Viking EPS and I'm looking for some input on what JBS Clutch Kit to order. I've done lots of searching and read many threads but can't seem to find an answer to specifically what kit I should order.
My buggy is stock other than windshields and 27" Bearclaw HTRs. When looking at the JBS website I can choose from several options (sheave only, sheave + weights, or sheave, weights & springs). In all options it asks to list tire size, year, mods & riding style. I'm not opposed to buying the full blown kit, but don't want to buy anything unnecessary and/or counterproductive.
The question I have is: What kit should I be ordering and how do I know what size weights and/or spring should I get.
Some background, my machine sees very mixed use. I use it for hunting, trail riding, not heavy mudding (but like it to be capable), and through the winter I use it to push a 66" Berco Snowblower attachment.
Selfishly, I'd like to have it all, more low end, higher top end, without sacrificing reliability.
Disclaimer: regardless of the kit, I plan on installing a slug kit. I'm reluctant to do that without also installing the sheave etc.
Thanks ahead for your thoughts/opinions...please keep the discussion civilized.
Here's a couple of pics of the machine. 1st is the day I bought it, next is out with my lab/partner in crime, 3rd is the blower attachment.

Welcome to forum! James, the owner of JBS Performance and this forum, is already addressing your questions. He is the best person to answer them. You won't get any arguments on the best clutch kit from us, we know JBS is by far the best!

Use your stock belt and the only other thing you'll need is Grease

I have the exact same setup as James recommend when I had 27's and I couldn't be happier. I have since moved up to 29's . I'm still happy but may go down to 16g weights when I feel like tearing back into it.

Thanks again. Do you have any Canadian distributors or do I need to order direct from the website?
