Default Lift Question on 700 Sportsman?

I have a 2007 700 Sportsman, I have a 2" lift with 27" tires and I also have a 3000# winch and deluxe brush guard on the front of it. I was wondering if I could add an extra inch or so to the front to make it set a little more level. Could I add a rubber spring spacer in the front or would it be to much angle?

Also I was wondering if the HPD Big Wheel clutch kit is worth the $199.99 price tag. The larger tires did hurt the acceleration of my 700 but is it worth $199.99? I have had a lot of dealing with HPD parts and they are GREAT parts, and GREAT people to deal with but I was wondering if I would see a change worth the money?

With EPI HD front springs and a 1" lift in the front of mine, I sit about 4" higher than stock. Theres a pic in my profile. I can see where the CVs have got a little warm. Theres rusty spots where it's got hot enough to burn the paint off the housing, but I haven't broke a front one yet.

And stock clutching is pretty weak with the bigger tires. I have a Heelclicker and I'm really happy with it. Do a search and you'll see what others have had good and bad luck.

Polaris sells spacers for the front to counter the weight of snow plows, and they sell stiffer front springs

I made my own out of aluminum, but I also have a lathe at home so I might be at an advantage [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] You can use hockey pucks, or PVC pipe or anything that will go between the spring and the strut.

How much would you take to make me a set of aluminum 1" spacers? Also how hard is it to do the reverse over ride mod?

I was a long time standing at the lathe making 2 sets. Too long. The second set went a lot easier but still very time consuming. I don't think you could afford my time LOL I'm a pricey bugger. Try E-bay. Theres a guy around called "Rubberdown" and he makes some qualty stuff.

As far as the over-ride, it's pretty easy. All you need is a few auto relays, some wire, heat shrink tubing, and a really good diagram. If you do a search on here it's been discussed a lot in the past. There is a REALLY good diagram on here somewhere.
