Man, that is awesome!. I will be doing that to my 700. I have mudlite tires on the front and they rub all the time. Couple of questions though.

- What diameter pluming tube is that?
- What kind of washer is that? (What size and where to get it. part# if you have one.)

 

lol. i did the same idea and it cost me less then $5.00 at the local hard ware store w/ alot less work using the cpvc pipe and fitting . looks good though for sure and much cheaper then buying new springs.

 

actually if you bring the strut closer to the end bumper it will bottom out shorter,made me think though considering its completed.........

 

Hey Quad 4 how is the lift working out? This is exactly what I need to do my 06 sportsman. Do you happen to have the part numbers for the two washers? I have found my dealer up here pretty useless and the part number would help alot.

Thanks
Matt

 

Can the pics be sent to me, all I see are red X's... and I want to add height for winter driving in snow. I'm so tired of getting stuck and at my age I don't have the energy to get un-stuck more than 1 time...

 

Same here only RED X's, maybe include the web link (photo bucket, web shots etc.)

Thx,

I think the pics are in his album in his profile(:>

 

Quad 4

Nice lift. Not sure how the pucks will stand up.

Here's my 2006 Sportsman lift.
Used 2" inside dia. pipe and had 3 pieces of 1/2 square stock wielded on.
Helps to have a friend who can wield, especially for free (:-).
Pipe is cut 1 1/4" long.
Had to grind out about 1/8" of the inside of the 1/2 square stock to make it fit
around the outside of the stock springs.
This really helped out the front / \ tires.
Rides a little stiffer, but steers better and has better ground clearance.
I measured from the ground to the fender at the tire hub and gained about 2 1/4"
Paid about $4.65 at the scrap metal yard for the pipe.

4J's post about Polaris HD Front Springs Installed has great directions and Pic's.
Look on the SEARCH.

Here's a couple of Pics.

TO EACH HIS OWN, I reckon?

But for me I think just adding HD Springs to the front Vs. all the welding, drilling etc. is a much more robust way to go unless you are really really trying to save $45 dollars and a 1/4 increase pass 2" in the front. - IMO

My only complaint here is compensating for the rear setup to better center the quad. Anyone dones these things to the rear? And what were your results?

Thanks,
