My friend has a foreman 400 that he just put a set of 26" blackwaters on but still wants to lift it higher. I am a welder fabricator so I have the ability and materials to build one I just need a little info on how its being done. If anyone out there has built a lift kit any sugestions would be greatly appreciated

thanks kibby

What year model is the 400 foreman? That could make a difference. But on most of the lift kits, it is a spacer between the bottom shock mount and bottom of shock. I wouldnt put much more than a 1 inch spacer, it could damage drivetrain parts.
