Highlifter makes a great lift kit. Like 7QuadSport7 said, you will only be able to go about 2" because if they made them taller than that it would destroy your CV joints in a short period of time. The higher the lift, the more angle you put on the CV joints and it puts them in a bind. Highlifter engineered their lift kits to give you the most lift without straining the CV joints. I made a kit for my 98 TRX 300 4X4 and the first time I made it too tall. When I rode it down the street I heard a knocking noise from the front and rear end. My joints were at too severe an angle. I re-worked them and made them the same size as the Highlifter and the sounds went away. You do not want to replace the CV shafts and joint because it is not cheap.

Hope this helps!

when i got my lift kit the dealer said the biggest he could ge me was 1 1/2"
he also said that if you found any bigger it would be harder on cv joints and axels
so i got the 1 1/2" and it works great.

i dont want to even hear about lift kits, unless you run custom axles, you will break cv joints i dont care what anyone says, i have broken 2 whole axles, and one outer assembly.

lift kits will put a extream strain on your drive shafts, all all the sudden it will start out as a metallic sound, next thing the race inside the axle pops apart and gets destroyed.

bottom line in my mind is dont lift unless you know the risks of what i have told you. its not like its just on my vinny, i have seen this on polaris, honda, yammi, and kawi, as well as other suzuki's i feel as if unless you are mudding extream at low crawling speed in 4x4 low range all the time then lifting is a waste.
