Yea the ride is fine out of the box, even great. But the rear weight limit is I think around 80-90 lbs., and the front weight limit is around 50-60 lbs. about. I carried a 130 lb. passenger most of the summer with me, now I am carrying a 100 lb. 54" snow plow on the front with a 15 lb winch and a 70 lb. weight on the rear for traction, so I was looking for a little more weight capacity and had noticed when lifting the plow the front would sag almost 4". The high liffter springs increase the weight capacity by 100 more lbs. Now when I lift the plow the front end hardly sags. Guess I will find out this summer when I go back to trail riding if the ride changes any. A guy can always go back to the stock springs in about 30 minutes, but I am not a good believer in OEM shocks and springs. May even go to new shocks next summer, if I feel the orginal ones are shot.
