I would like to make some of these but i dont know how to get the spring off and put back on on my SP 600. Thanks

 

Frist only do one side at a time. Jack up your 600 take one of the wheels off. Next take the tierod loose and unbolt the axle nut so you can slide the axle out. Then take off the top nut on the shock tower. You will need some good spring compressors to compress the spring. After you have the spring compressed take the top nut off that holds the spring. You are now ready to slide the spring off. Install the spring spacer and reverse the instructions above.

 

wo wo wo....hold your horses man...all that is completely unneccesary...i purchased spring spacers straight from polaris and i jsut squirted some WD-40 on them and slip them in...took less than 5 minutes...i have heard of people sliding in modified hockey puks....

 

You must be talking about the rubber coil spacer from polaris I have them and don't recommend them. They do help a little with the sag but I still had the tires rubbing with them on. I made some spacers to go under the spring installed the and soved the tire rubbing issue.

 

Oh my bad man...they worked fine for me but i had minimal rubbing so they were all i needed...srry about the mix up i looked at your pics and i now see wat your talkin about...my bad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

I had 27's on at the time, the coil spacers might have been enough with the 26" mudlites I have on now.

 

check out my gallery and the "my photos" link in my signature for some pictures of the spacers I made. I got all my specs from Brent (sportsman70003) when I was making my spacers. thanks again Brent. I tried the polaris rubber spring spacers, actually I put two of them on each side and the measurement from before and after with the plow in the up position was the same. in other words the rubber spring spacers did nothing for me.

 

do you want to lift your machine for ground clearance ,or looks. if you use spring spacers all your doing is preventing you suspension from its full travel and overloading the springs it. if its looks thats ok . but if you want lift, ground clerance you actually have to lower your strut housing.

 

four4fish he isn't looking to lift his quad he jsut wants to keep his tires frum rubbing when coming down hard...thus he is goin to add the coil spacers not lift kit...

 

sorry my bad .it looked like people were talking about lifting to clear rubbing tires. would it be better to install some type of a rubber stop like on cars to prevent full spring travel ?
