Final Drive rebuild

I have a 2007 sportsman 700. My front seal is leaking where the shaft goes in, can you replace seal while still installed? If removed with age and mileage should I do a Bearing and seal kit? Any issues or problems I should be aware of or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Left rear tire lean

I have a 2007 Sportsman 700. I have recently replaced the bearings, springs, tires and rims. I noticed a slight cant inward on top of the left rear tire as looking at it. I noticed it a little while back but thought it was maybe my old mud tires. I have pulled tire and dont notice play, have checked castle nut on hub and my shock mounts. The A arms are not bent. Any suggestions or if you have had this problem. I am thinking i just need to replace the bushings. Thanks for any assistance.

Rear cargo space

I am looking to see if anyone has added a rear drop basket or hitch mounted basket. I use my Polaris mostly for hunting and camping. I would like the ability to carry or haul extra gear.
Has anyone added a rear rack drop basket? Can you still use a L&R Box?

Is anyone using a hitch mounted cargo rack? How stable? Does it ride high enough?

I have found an awesome rear drop basket, but not sure if I could configure it to still use a rear box.

Any suggestions or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Tire/Wheel Question

I have 27x9x12 and 27x11x12 mud tires currently on my 07 700 with 1 inch spacers. I am buying new tires as these are worn out. If I get ITP Delta Steel wheel with 4+3 offset will I still need my spacers. I would like to not use them. Thanks
Here is what I am getting:
Blackwater Evolution
27x9x12
27x11x12
ITP delta steel wheels
12×7 w 4+3 offset
