I put the rubber spacers in the back of mine it really helps out when my wife comes with me & I don't feel it hurts the ride quality when I am riding solo.

Get a set of rubber inserts for the front springs at the dealer, they are 18 bucks a set and work great for plowing, and when you are done you can pop them out. And you can put them in the rear springs for that extra support. I have 2 sets for plowing or the rear if I have a heavy trailer on.</end quote></div>

I'm going to give the rubber spacers a try for plowing, and take them out for riding. I like the "mushy" ride. LOL

they made no difference in the ride height or the ride for that matter when the plow was on and raised .. They made no difference with out the plow on either.I guess they were not junk,just made no difference in ride height or quality.I have since installed the highfifter springs up frt and could not be happier..No more sag( even with the plow) no more mushey ride and best of all it steers 100% eaiser..Maybe not jusnk just OVER RATED, i spent the $$ so i can say that honestly..
Good Day,

Hmmm... if the springs help the steering, I may have to investigate further. However, I don't want to sacrifice the plush ride.

Have to check around and see which springs are not too stiff.. the HL's or EPI's.

I also have a set of the useless rubber spacers stored somewhere. There are some adjustable preload adjusters I have thought about trying (TM2 for one).</end quote></div>

Polaris sells the pre-load adjusters too. I think it's the same as the tm2 Pregressor. $79.99 a pair and they fit the front or back. I would buy those before I bought heavier springs <u>unless</u> the springs are too soft all the time. http://www.purepolaris.com/Det...463(PolarisPGACatalog)

P.S. tm2s are 10% off right now. http://www.tm2parts.com/shop/product...catalogId=-569
