Default SP 800-- HD REAR SPRINGS NEEDED

Just picked up my 800 on Sat. Been awhile sense I have ridden an IRS atv but I don't remember the suspension being as plush as the Polaris. I hope some of you heavier riders can help with some manufactures that make 200 to 300 in/lb. rate springs than work on Polaris shocks. I know there are several spring manufactures that will make custom springs for me, but they are costly and I only want to use them as a last resort. Thanks for any help you can give.

The cheep fix people are doing is buying a 2" tube of aluminum and cutting it 1"-2" for the height. I think the wall of the aluminum has to be 1/4" thick so the coils don't go over it or in it. I can't remember. Anyway people are putting in home made spacers. You should find it under a search.
