I need some front springs for my 02 500 HO and want to know if the front springs for a 700 Polaris fit on the 02 500 and if they are stiffer, or maybe too stiff?
Or is there a better replacement for the front springs?

 

try these

 

on the 02 models you can swap out a set of springs from a 02 ranger i did this on mine its an 01 but they should be the same made a big difference with bumpers winch and blade installed

 

I had put '01 500 4x4 scrammy front springs on a '01 sp 500. It lifted the sag better than a boob job. LOL!! It was stiffer and more front G/C[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

On the older Sportsmans (like yours) Polaris offers a variety of front and rear spring options. You can just order new (stiffer) springs for your machine from the dealer. For some reason they buried the part numbers in the factory service manual.

 

You can also make a 2" lift from 2" steel tube. This will set it up nice and the cost s less than $10.
