the rear springs on my 2006 800EFI sportsman are sagging, I want to replace them with something better than what came stock, can anybody make a recomendation on brand and where to buy, or tell me what they did to fix the problem

some put epi heavy duty springs on and other put springs like from the x2 or maybe ranger springs. if you do a search you'll find a few post on it. i only put spring spacers on my front on my 06' and didnt have any problems w/ the rears.

chief.....
You also have the preloads in the rear......Do you have them cranked up the the highest setting......It will help a little...You must carry a lot of weight in the rear because it's rare to hear anyone having rear spring sag problems.....Usually it's the fronts, that's common......Anyway I put EPI's on the front of mine and it made a world of difference....If you cahnge them to EPI's or another heavy duty spring you're gonna need spring compressers to do the rears......The fronts you don't need the compressers....Good luck and I'll give you the link where I got mine..
