Hello folks,

I just got my HD high lifter springs and I am in question as to the fact that the new springs are pretty wide at the bottom which they might work but the top does not fit in the cup very well. Not sure but the package does say for sportsman 5/6/700. I will call them in the morning just thought you folks would have some insight and maybe I need to make them work.

Also I got a lift kit 2 inch front 1/12 rear. Not from HL but it does not say anything about make clearance for the cv boots. I have heard that with some lift kits you need to do so. Do you any suggestions on the subject.

I have a 2002 sportsman 700

Thanks Clint

 

well i have the hl springs and yes mine are way wide at the bottom but has not been a problem..i also run a 2" "superatv" lift and i did have to grind my front strut houseings ..but its well worth it,i have the "recovery atv" in my neck of the woods..if i dont make it"they don't even try'!!!..good for my ego!!"bad for my winch!!"

 

Thanks for the reply. I wasnt to sure about the bottom but I can deal with that but its the top that I am worried about with the top of the spring not fitting in the cup all the way. Did you have a problem with this. also I did notice that the springs tappered from one end and not like the factory ones where they tapper from the middle. just want to make sure I have the right thing.

Thanks
Clint

 

i have not had a problem .. mine were not "factory" fit by anymeans.

 

sounds great thats what I was looking for. I did just finish getting them on and ready for test ride.

Thanks for the replys

Clint
