As another incentive perhaps to GO XP! b/c I don't like how my center of gravity is off with the front raised, I had to compensate a little with raising the rear stock setting to the highest to prevent rear squatting issues.

Thx,

Unlike the older Sportsmans the front shocks are adjustable,so if you feel they are too soft you can turn them up. Like the old Sportsmans the front is softer than the rear for a given setting...
Even so the highest I have had the front is the 3nd notch( of 5),2 up from stock, and that is for fast trail riding with a winch and front storage box to reduce the dive up front. The rear has never been higher than the 2nd notch(of 5),1 up from stock..which is really only needed to reduce squat when towing loads with real heavy tongue weights,although it isn't bad on the lowest setting.
