Default 400 SP help with front end!!!

I have found that my front suspension is a little too soft for my body mass and type of driving..... I tend to bottom out far too frequently.... Are there heavier springs that I can install and where might I find them?..... I know that there are inserts that can be installed under the front springs which add preload to the front springs, but they will also shorten the travel......(I don't want to shorten the travel)....I weigh 220 lbs....

I think a stiffer set of springs on the front might just solve my problem....Are they available?

thanks

2002 400SP.... (completely stock)...

You may want to check into Hotseat performance,or Works shocks.I think your springs are ok,some aftermarket struts would probably do the trick.Plus they might be able to set them up for your body weight and riding style.Hope this helps.

My cousin just put heavy duty spring on the front of his 500.....The 400 and and 500 are in the same chasie....I would imagine you could get heavy duty springs for a 400.

Yes, you can purchase upgraded springs for your 400. I have the black HD springs for mine. I bought mine from AAEN about 2 years ago, but your Polaris dealer should also carry them.
