I have searched the forum but really can't find a lot of info on the 05's. I have a 2005 Sportsman 700EFI with winch and brushguard (also have the Glacier Plow). Took it for the first time to Hatfield/McCoy and the front end was bottoming out a lot. Does anyone know if the MV or Ranger springs will fit? How about the spring rates of the 3 (MV, Ranger, 700)? Which would be the best?

Thanks!

 

Just put a 2" lift in the front and the problem is solved. 6.00 tatal and 1 hour time. You will still maintain the factory ride too. Look at my pics. Me and my wifes machines have it done. Check out the pics.

 

kj: Did you make those yourself? If so, can you provide some details?

Thanks.

 

It is a coupler from heavy duty 2" electrical conduit. It joins two peices together. It is threaded on the inside. And the inside and outside is galvanized. I bought them at an electrical supply house.

 

and if you are not that handy, the go to www.superatv.com and buy them 35.00 plus shipping

 

Thanks kj. I'll give it a try.

 

What kind of tools do you need to get them on ?

 

I was told by the local dealer to use 2006 ranger front springs...I put EPI heavy duty on mine solved the bottoming out problem

 

Where did you find the EPI springs ? My problem is more the way the nose dives on corners.


What are you riding ?

 

I ordered mine from Dennis Kirk...wwwdenniskirk.com..The springs are on a 2004.5 Sportman 600 with winch and front brush guard..
