Default Spacer lift?!

So I've heard about the springs sagging in the front and and causing the front tires to "tip" inwards at the top. They say a lift will straighten it all out.

What do people use for a lift? Anyone done a "home-made" jobby? What did you use and how did you do it?

Please post away and let me know!! thanks a lot

Well there's a few things you can do...1. like Brutus said you can get a set of HD springs...Either EPI or HL's are a couple....2. As far as spacers you can use a I believe it's 2 in. galv. coupler but I've actually heard of guys using plastic...3. You can get the tm2 spring adjusters....Here's the link....

Ok... thanks for the feedback. I'm not really big on spending money on any spacer lift! I don't believe in paying money on something that is ridiculously simple and the company sells it for a lot of money.

I like the sounds of the "2" Galvanized Coupler". What kind of "coupler" are we talking about here? I drive a Jeep Liberty, I know some people use 2" Conduit washers to lift that. Can I use those on the quad? Same 2" diameter...

Spacers will put extra stress on your cv's......I'd go with a set of HD EPI springs if I were you...

I guess if your not going too high it should be ok........I've just heard stories of guys lifting their machines and breaking axles due to the angle of the axle changes......

oh i agree 100% on that. when you chage the angles it kills the cv's in imo. thats why i would never lift my bike because of its alot harder on the drivtrain. but thats just me.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
