Stacking Lift Kits on a Yamaha G9

I'm curious if anyone has stacked lift kits? Or how did you manage to run 25 inch tires on a Yamaha G9? I'm no stranger to fabrication if that's the only way to do it without it turning out to be a hokey POS. My G9 has a budget lift already, looks like 4 inch if I guessed, possibly home made. I was thinking about adding the 6 inch a arm lift to clear the tires I will be running, it's not really an if I should at this point, it's a how can I make this work? I'm already planning getting custom in the rear with lowering and extending the swingarm. Picture is of the Kohler ch740 going in my g9IMG_20211013_184638126.jpg

I've seen dual lift kits done on EZGO TXT and Marathon models but on a Yamaha G9 I think your best bet would be a long travel a-arm lift.

I'm not having any luck on long travels but I do like the looks of the double a arm lift from all sports. It's about twice the price but I'm sure handles much better since it has more adjustment. I'm wondering what it would take to clear 25s with it? Or if it could be stacked with the budget lift? The budget lift looks like it could have been a diy job. I could easily duplicate it in my driveway.

How about a 6-inch Lift and then put some body blocks in there, if needed to clear the tires

It has about 4 inches now, I'm curious how horrible it would handle to just add a set of the 6 inch a arms to that. I'm paraplegic so I'm going to use it everywhere the wheelchair can't go, hunting, fishing, just plain old trail riding. Nothing real extreme but I do get rowdy now and then.

Has anyone tried using shocks from a blaster or banshee or raptor or other ATV? The front suspension, aside from struts vs coil over shocks, is pretty similar to what Polaris used for a very long time. I was just thinking this may improve handling and comfort on trails. My g9 is basically just going to be a big go kart by the time I'm done that might still kind of look like a g9, I'm undecided on trying to keep the dash or not. I have a couple ideas for custom body I think would be cool for car shows and tractor shows.
