Default lift kit question?

i just installed my moose lift kit...it gives another it lifts it 1.5 inches..im 15 and have never been very good with mechanical stuff...it was pretty easy for me and i did it by myself...took maybe and hour and a 1/2 to do all 3 shocks..the top screw on the back shock is a little bit too long so im gonna put some washers on it...and i didnt understand the bushing idea till i got to the front ones [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]...so i gotta take the back one off...hehe...it'll tip a bit easier with the lift on it...thats common sense though

lifts are good and bad.

i have probley broken my cv joints because of the lift. i wouldnt bother putting one on.

espacially on a stock quad. with stock tires, all it will do is tip easier, and ride stiffer.

Get a set of 26" tires on +1 offset wheels and it will feel like a totally different machine. More clearance and a much more capable off road machine.
