I used rachet straps as well - I jacked up the quad from the middle until the tires JUST came off the ground. Left the tires on that way there isnt ANYWAY they can become over extended. If you dont have to use straps to get the old ones out (I did) you probably will definately need them to put the new ones in. They dont like to compress very well by hand! I used 2 straps on each spring - was a pain to use those but it saved me money.


I took me more than 2 hours but I was drinking had smoke breaks [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I guess everyone does it a little different......There's more than one way to get from point A to point B...I didn't use any compressors or straps....My next mod is changing out the rears.....That's where you'll need compressors...

I went with the ratchet straps also.they work...

 

Moose,

Do you have PICS of the assembly project? As I hit the hard pack more
this spring and summer I am too going to see where my adjustments
need. I side with you about the personal weight factor and so I may
benefit as well!

Regards,
