Got them coming. Complete rear set(springs,shocks,cam adjusters,etc...) $300. This will add a 3" lift to a stock rear MV setup. Plus with the tires, I have an addition 1.5" GC. I will be looking at a 4.5" GC lifted MV. I will have the 3" lift in the rear and a 2" in the front. If I need to level it out, I'll have my buddy machine a 1" taller front spring cradle. Riding season is approching fast, I need to get my 800 header coated and installed, I am thinking about a jet kit too!

 

was it you that had all the heat issues w/ the gorilla axles when you put the lifts in?

 

It was, but Gorilla said not to worry about the heat. They are tighter and will run hot until they wear in. I figure, I paid good money for them, I might as well utilize the warranty![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] The 6" lift CV boots are sometimes blowing up like a balloon. They know about the heat issue. I was told to try and heat cycle them with creek beds!

 

good luck w/ them. i heard they would blow out the cv boots form the heat. let us know.

 

Got them in and installed them today. They are not a direct BOLT-N-GO, minor modifications had to be made to the lower shock mount. Some grinding was needed, for shock body to control arm clearance. This only took about 15 mins to do.Here is a pic. Notice the shiney area above the left hole. This is ground down to give shock to control arm clearance. Also the right top of the mount area was needed to be bent out slightly for the same reason. This grinding did not jepardize any strength at all. These shocks are 7/8ths" longer which provides 1 3/4" lift. Also the springs are much shorter and the cam adjuster is located much higher up on the body. Total cost about $320!

 

Oh boy. I can feel the heat.

 

how much did the 6" lift set you back..i've been thinking about lifting my 02 sportsman 500 and its pretty much a 1 or 2 incher for abot 100 but i've gone through too many cv joints at stock height i dont want to go through more..the only other option i've seen is the 6" but those run about 2000$ if not more

 

I don't have the 6" lift, but Floodrunner has one on his Ranger, He is who I was referring to!

 

Yeah, I though about the heat, but I figured I spent almost $1400, I should not worry about "their" heat issue. I've utilized the warranty once, I'll do it again[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
