What I meant by scrubbing is the tires scrub the floor when you extend the suspension.
As you lift the bike higher and the susp extends the rear tires will get closer together. So at a dead stop, the friction of the tires on the floor will not let the tires move closer together and the suspension will not be able to lift the quad.

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Originally posted by: atv gooroo

All I did was go to ebay and did a search for the listing "polaris lift kit" and a bunch showed up. I bought the one set that is black in color. I beleive the price was about 54 dollars plus 10 dollars shipping. (may have to grind a little off the strut for boot clearance) this is a very easy job and anyone can do it. (anyone)</end quote></div>

Any problems with the kit? Do you like it? Hows the ride and handling after installing?

This kit sounds like what you're describing.

The suspension needs to sag a bit in my mind ,so there is some down travel available when riding.

Not to drive this thread sideways Question for ATV GOOROO
The Polaris 500 and 800 both have a bit of Camber in the front end
Tires lean in at the top like this / \ Somewhat exaggerated but you know what I mean.

Did adding the lift take some of that Camber out of the front end???

Crucial; Yes that is the same lift that I bought and it is the same seller. The ride is pretty much the same except it seems just a tad stiffer. I like the stiffer ride. The ride does not feel top heavy at all. I really enjoy the lift. I have had no problems so far but I have only rode it one day. If you order the lift it will take 3 to 4 days to arive so that gives you plenty on time to pull the struts back and grind them. If you check out high litfters lift kit it will show you a picture of how to grind them. If you need help just ask. (anyone can install this lift)


BigBros_Farmtoys; The lean on the tires do not change. Nothing changes except for the very slight angle of the axles.(this is why you need to grind strut for boot clearance) The lift basically just pics the atv straight up off the suspension. I love the way it looks. This lift is not that drastic. People that don't look at your wheeler that much probably won't notice. I mainly did this for the stiffer ride and to level the front. I have 26 inch mud lites and my wife the stockers and we now both have the same amount the fender clearance. I can see the differance myself and I like the look of it much better.

Oh, Now I see what you mean. You are right, when I lift the back up, the tires slide on the floor as they get closer together.
