Another question.....do you run out of power, or run out of traction? Two very different problems.

tommyboy - I find turning around on a steep hill mighty risky business. What kind of technique to you use? This is a sincere question, not trying to be a smart a$$.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

you do it really slowly and pray you can manage your quads gravity charachteristics this is coming from someone who has turned around on hill climbs that were a pucker factor of 9/10 on a kfx 700. I love to hill climb but man its risky buisness i would have video of some of my hairier climbs but my batteries were dead in my camera [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

I take it you are in high range... typically that's your best bet. You do have more weight than the others. The black spring etc will not help here, I think you have a traction issues ie sand. try keeping the weight more up front even at the bottom of the hill and the 26 mudlights are not a good steep hill climber, I would use 25 mud runners. Don't use the diffi lock until you are half way up or higher. 32mph is slow for a launch for me.... distance is what counts.

its not a sand hill, its a fine slate hill on a strip mine, im not really spinning out its just looseing the speed it needs to keep all 4 tiers on the ground.. ONX i tryed sending the pics but in my area i can only get slow dial up and it said "attaching file" for a good hour and i got tierd of waiting.... what would be some good mods to do to help me power up it without puting out the $$ for a big bore...

If you aren't spinning out and are losing power, try low range. The average mods are not going to overcome this.
When climbing a steep hill at least 90% of your weight and traction is transfered to the back wheels, that's why a 2wd sport quad that's 250lbs lighter than your machine can make it, your 4x4 is doing very little for you.
