Two of my friends just bought new Prairies. One is a 650 and the other is a 360 (I think). They are both complaining about the front suspension being very weak and diving on turns and jumps. I was just wondering if anyone knows of different springs or anything that can be done about this.
thanks

I agree with your friend but tell them to get new tires .The stock tires are 2 ply and stink. I installed 26 mudrunner made big difference however the front still feels soft but not as bad as stock.

Check out this site they just came out with after market Springs.I am trying to find out someone who installed hem for report .
Let us know If your firends get them

tampavii is right, it is the stock tires that are the majority of the problem. I put 6lbs of air in my front tires and it made a noticeable difference. It doesn't roll nearly as bad. I plan on purchasing some 26 inch Bearclaws for my 650 in the near future. I have 3 friends who have these tires and they have had very good luck with them. I'd try putting on some new tires before I changed my springs.
