I jump my Trailblazer all the time sometimes 4 or 5 feet. I havent broke anything yet but the front struts bottom off of large jumps. It also feels heavy in the air and kinda hard to do tricks with.

 

I was jumping my Arctic Cat 500 the other day. I got about 3 feet of the ground and never bottomed out. I know you sport guys are laughing,"3-feet hahahahaha," but thats alot for a 650-lb quad.

 

I've jumped my TB max, 5 or 6 feet of air.

I haven't broke anything, yet. The only thing is you hit like a ton of bricks dropped on jupiter :-)

And i'm too chicken to do tricks

 

I'm suprised you guys with the TB's have'nt busted your A-arm bushings. Those were the first things to go when I jumped my wifes.

They're easy to replace. After 3 sets I got HPD's bronze bushings. Only problem I've ever had with it.

I have a 96 Sportsman400 that I jump 4 to 5+feet in the air.Blew out the rear shock and chain once. Replaced it with a fox shock. Landing can be hard but a little body english helps alot.

 

I hit the double 14 feet in the air on my polaris diesel 4x4 hauling trailer full of wood.

Really?
No not really!

 

You should set your rear shock as stiff as you can, and check into heavier front springs if you jump high a lot. When riding mx-tracks I have my rear shock as stiff as it can go, I can jump pretty good without bottoming really hard. The fronts are way too soft for any real jumping though.

 

I agree that the front springs are to soft for jumping. Hot Seat now carries Fox shock front shocks at $300 a pair or so.I think I will try stiffer springs first.

 

Dominator,
You da' man !!!
I do the same only I ride a Sportsman 6X6 !
I jump the doubles and do a "heel clicker" on it
