I know that Highlifter makes heavier springs for most utility atv's. Does anyone have experience with these springs? I want to keep the front end from mashing down so much when i lift my Warn 60" snowplow blade with the 40 lb. Montana Jack weight bar. I used to have a set of spring rubbers for my Polaris that helped quite a bit, but they don't seem to make them for the Grizzly.

Anyone have any suggestions to keep the front end from mashing down so much?

You could try using the Highlifter springs. I have them on My bike and they make it ride a little rougher but they will Prolly give you the extra strength that you need + a little more ground clearance. Doesnt the Grizzly have adjustible shocks on the front? If so, try turning up the preload a little bit.

 

I had the same problem with my Prairie. My solution was to take a racheting strap, tie from the back rack down to the hitch. With me sitting on the back rack I tightened it as much as I could. Solved the problem.

 

Yeah . . . I have the preload up all the way. There doesn't even seem to be enough room for any type of spring rubbers since the springs are so close to the shock tube. It looks like the HighLifter springs might be the only solution.

 

Hey Lomax -

How tough were the lift spring to install. I've put shocks/springs on several atv's and some can be a real PITA to compress. What was your experience?

 

There not to terrible, It takes 2 people and I use the Highlifter tool as well. On the Yamaha's (I think the grizz is the same way) you need a wrench to aid you in unscrewing the top of the shock off the shaft. Its really not that bad though
