Default 2 x 2" Lift Kits Combined for 4" lift ??? Honda Rincon

I have a 2011 Rincon with a 2" Bracket Lift kit already installed,, But I also have a HighLifter 2' lift kit aswell. BUT it mounts differantly then the lift kit already installed,, and has the Spring Stiffeners w/ Front Brackets mounting at the bottom of the shock, Rather then my exsiting lift with the brackets at the top of shock. Could I add this kit aswell? Combine the Two? Make 4" lift? At least just add the Stiffeners? Looks as if I can. Im worryed about my angled Axles and Riding Comfort.

Do you really need all that lift? Is it a dedicated mudder / swamp runner? you could fit 30" tires with just one 2" kit- too much lift and you just start creating problems with the drivetrain and the stability of the atv....

otherwise I'd think having brackets at the top & bottom of the shocks would really weaken the whole assembly. I'd just buy a 4" lift and do it right.

True. But if i was to buy The HL Heavy Duty Springs and install them instead, along with my 2" lift I already have,, I would think thats about the same as Just adding the HL Stiffeners. Either way,, it would be raised a lil more then what it is now. The stiffeners prob would make it higher tho, cause lil more problems. idk

Lots of lift = lots of broken parts, front drive shafts, cv joints, no suspension travel ill handling not the bike Honda had in mind... But if you want to pay the bucks for the biggest and baddest, go for it. Get your wallet right.
