If I was to put 30" mudlites on my stock Le rims, 12-14 in rear and 10-14 in front would I have any clearance issues without a lift? The bike is currently stock so with the bigger tire I know I will lose some performance. But how much?

No issues. I have (2) 2010 MP 700's. One has Airdam Stage III and the other has Speedwerx. I removed a set of moto-monster 30" tires because I kept breaking axles. The mudlites do not rub, require no extra lift or spacers on the stock 14" rims. Plus... they are lighter and I can sling mud with em.

I LOVED the way the motor monsters worked in a mud hole (they are like silverbacks) but I tired quickly of changing axles on the front. I am considering putting the moto's back on the back only since I never broke a rear axle.

I am planning on doing airdam mod but how will it perform bone stock with the 30" mudlites?

Well I cannot answer that question because I had airdam before the 30" mudlites. Originally; I had the moto monsters on the bike (pre-airdam) and I can tell you Airdam made a whale of a difference there. I can say that the 30" mudlites are an improvement over the Moto Monster tires (at least my butt dyno says so). EXCEPT that the mudlites do not have the mud holes figured out. Again it is a compromise whichever way you go - - you either have Gobs of Silverback traction and suffer the broken axles....or you go with the mudlites and occasionally have to struggle through a hole.

if you have a mud pro you should definatley go with better tires than mudlites they suck almost as bad as stockers in the mud they are ok on trails but if you want a good tire that wont break axles i would go with the mudzillas or something similar

I ride 70% creek bed (sand) and water and 30% mud and a bottomless hole every now and again depending on how many of those blue and silver cans Ive had! I have 27" mudlites on my 400 and they have been a great tire. No there not the mud king of tires but they fit my riding style.

Mudzillas are very heavy!
