What are you putting the lift kit on for? I don't think you're really going to benefit much from it, usually guys do lift kits when they put huge tires on it that won't clear the fenders. I'd leave it at the stock height, but wheel spacers would still be cool.

I don't like the idea of IRS on a sport quad, you end up with twice as may parts that wear out, and if you want to widen it you're looking at big money because you have to replace 8 a-arms instead of 4.

the reason i would put the lift kit on is so i could clear trees and rocks better because where i live i ride in the forest which is right next to a huge creek and i always get highsided on a log or rock. And plus i heard somewhere that if you put a lift kit on it will help you go through mud . And Also should i het a 3 inch wheel spacer or a 5 inch i ride in mostly tight trails? How fast has your warror topped out at because my freind has a blaster with 38 horse power and says it toped out at 80

I'd go with the 3 inch spacers. The last time I did a speed run I hit 68, but that was a year ago when all I had was the exhaust, and a bigger front sprocket. I'm thinking I might be able to get up to about 75 with my current mods.

I don't remember what I paid for them, it was like 4 years ago, but maybe about $55 each.

how do you put a snorkel on a recon and did you put a k and n air filter on your recon because i heard that it will give you more horse power?

Yeah, I had a k&n. I'm not real sure about the snorkel, i haven't kept up with the utility market since I got my warrior, so I don't know if you can buy kits for it or not. You might have to make a custom one out of pvc pipe if you can't get a kit. It involves cutting a hole in your front fender either way, so once you make the commitment you're stuck with it.

yeah i have seen that on those big 4x4 quads. Did your K and N filter make the quad have more power or go faster? We

I probably gained a little power from it, but not enough that you can actually feel when riding.
