Default lift kits

I am looking to put a lift kit on my 2004 sp700. I have seen the kits by High Lifter, and Gorilla-Axle, but was wondering if they were worth the money?

Take a look at my gallery,

I have a 2" Highlifter kit on the front which includes the threaded adjustble piece that mounts on top of the front strut hsg & it came with the progressive springs all the way around.The rear springs are on the lowest setting.

I have 28 x 9 x 12 Itp 589's on the front & 28 x 11 x 12 on the rear.

I love the kit, the springs do not sag like the stock Polaris ones.

Do you ride this quad on the trails, and did this kit change the center of gravity drastically?

I trail ride, mud it, & hill climb.

What I have noticed is:
1) It steers easier.
2) More ground clearance.
3) It goes thru the water alot better, the front rend raises up like a boat & floats rather well.
4) Center of gravity, not much notice there.

The only downsides are the 28" tires--

1) If I take a pretty good dip or hump at 20 + mph the front tires rub the inner fenders.
I have learned to be careful & tell all of my friends that I have a utility & not a sport bike. I do not ride extremely fast anyway.

2) They take a little power to turm them.

I cannot afford to get hurt. ( I have bills to pay)

I have 26 x 12 x 12 mud runners on the back of my sp 700. and 26 x 9 x 12 on the front. I throw tons of mud when we hit old wet roads with sticky mud. Are the 11 inch any better on the back. I don't mind getting muddy but my machine and me are covered from flying mud and the Hondas are clean.

No, I do not have step by step instructions but it was rather easy.
