I thought I saw a post on here about some type of spacer kit for the stock front springs? Who makes them? and where do I find them?

What would be better the spacer kit? or an aftermarket coilspring set?
I noticed polaris sells a heavy duty set which are supposed to be better than the stockers true or false?

Thanks for any advice and help with this.

 

I used pipe on my 03 sp . I think it was 2'' pvc. I first used a 2 1/2'' spacer but it was too much and it put the front axles in a bind so I went down to a 1 3/4'' and it's ok and I can clear 28's. I used a similar trick in the rear. Cost me about 5 bucks and 2 hours front and rear.

 

You can get adjustable spacers for the front and rear from Polaris. You can set it to 0, 1/2, or 1 inch of extra lift (compression?).

 

500 H.O. Did your mod help with bottoming out and give extra load capacity?

Do you think the spacers are a good idea or go to a different spring set?

I just trail ride and use the quad for hunting and around the house type stuff no mud bogging or racing. It just seems like turning the 08 sp800 when at slower speeds is tough as hell, I thought I saw somewhere on here that going the spacer route would help with the turning right or left making it a smoother to turn?

 

I put these on my 500 work great I ordered them from the Polaris dealer .

if it helps i put 1 1/2" cpvc spacers on my 06' to help the sagging front springs and had good luck w/ it. cheap fix for under $5.00. i would either do what i did or buy heavier front springs before i would buy the polaris adjustable ones. imo.

 

Hey stendori do you have any pics of the mod and how easy is it to install?
