Default High Lifter Springs


Has anyone tried the High Lifter Yellow Springs on their AC? They claim the High Lifter Lift Springs were engineered to provide about 100 additional pounds of capacity (per set). And gain 1/2 to 1 inch of ground clearance. I'm thinking of trying some on the back as I have to now run my preload on the 4th notch so that they don't bottom out.

i have them on my 04 650, what i have found is that they are so stiff the actual shock once compressed will not return to full " expanded" position. Maybe my shocks are worn out or something. But they do make it siffer if you are a big guy and carring heavy loads

I don't understand what you mean about 'expanding'. If the shock compresses the spring itself should push the shock back out. The spring is always going to try and keep the shock at full length. I am confused as to what you mean....

Had them on a polaris, they are stiff! I see no need for them on a ac the springs are plenty stiff already.

Thanks guys, I don't have a good dental plan and don' t want my teeth jarred out of my head. So I guess the High Lifter springs are out. Maybe some Progressive springs...
