New Front Springs for 05 SP700EFI?
Have any of you tried the progressive front spring kit 31-2007 for the front of a 2005 700 sportsman? I found it on their website listed for this application but nowhere else on the net. I have a 2005 800 sportsman and I am also having problems with the front end sag. If it fits the 700 it should fit the 800 also. Correct?

I belive the 700 and 800 have the same front springs. THe MV7 springs have the same base spring pre-load of 85 in/lbs but have a higher upper limit. I belive the stock springs are something like 111 and the MV7 springs are in the 130-140 range. I know Bytor know the exact #s. He may respond here with them.

Hey Madmatt: The install was actually pretty easy. The only special tool I used was spring compressors (got them from Harbor Freight for about $12). It helps to have 2 jacks also, one to jack up the front end and one to hold up the strut assembly. Also, take off the front storage box to make things easier.

OK I got mine installed...the left side took 4 beers to do, the right side only 1 beer to do after I took off the front rack!!! I didn't know it came off so easy only 4 bolts and 4 torx screws, that opens up the whole front end. Anyway I will ride tommorrow and check it out, seems a lot firmer already just by pushing on the bumper it pops right back up..
Thanks again for the tips,
