ive been thinking about putting a 3 in. lift on my 06 polaris 700 sportsman and was wondering what the toughest and most reliable brand to use is.any help? im lost on susp.

 

There are a lot of good one's out there from highlifter, catvos, superatv, rubberdown customs. Do you do a lot of mud riding? If so, then you are better off in the long run to go with a complete 6" lift. Lot less wear and tear on axles. If you do some mudding but still trail ride a lot or do utility work I would go with a two inch lift and some bigger tires/clutch kit. Anything bigger than 2" will put a lot more strain on the axles. Either way if you lift it 2 or 3 inches plan on investing in some better axles(turner/gorillas). The extra angle will take it's toll especially if you have a heavy thumb!

 

thanks bud! yea i have a decent balance between mud and trail riding out here. i hate to bother ya again but i couldnt really see with those gorilla 6 in. lifts i was looking at they dont come with new a arms and everything do they?

 

I put a 2" on my 04 I had 26" and 12" Itp rims it handled about like stock not much more roll in the turns definetly upgrade cv shafts though like what switzomatic said I have very heavy thumb and mine lasted 5 months at least the front 2. with the 2" and tires I could drive over a 2 liter bottle

 

A complete 6" lift will come with axles, a-arms, and all hardware. 2-3" will just be spacers up front and shock relocation brackets in the rear. I miss my 800sp with the huge lift and tires at times because it would go through anything with ease but that's all it was good for once I went that big. Trail riding sucked big time. Pretty much why I only went with a 3" on my RZR. Had it almost a year and have yet to have any driveline issues.

 

was wondering if you have purchased a lift kit yet, i have a highlifter 2" lift kit that is brand new that i was going to put on my 800 but than ended up selling it i opened the box to look at the directions but none of the lift has seen the light of day let me know either way
