I have a 01 Sportsman 500 HO and want better wheel well clearence. Do I need to replace the shocks? springs or both. I have the heavy duty springs in the front already and they work fine it's just the rear that needs to be stiffened up. What can I use?

 

Look at the progressive rear spings. They sell them at highlifter.com.

 

I don't think that Progressive makes rear springs, just front. EPI has heavy duty springs on DennisKirk.com Heres a link to the springs. I'm not that shure that it will increase you ride height by that much, but I'm not experienced with them.
