heavy duty springs
#11
I actually don't mind the rear springs as is. I have them adjusted to about 1/2 from maxed out and they seem to work well for me at 250lb. I want the ride as soft as possible in back without bottoming out the shocks. Make the IRS work for me. Might be a little different with the new springs up front???
You will be able to change out your front springs without and compressors, just make sure you only lower the axle just enough to slide new spring in without cv sliding out..At least that's how it worked with my EPI's...Very easy job... You'll be happy I'm sure with the results...

Good to hear..I recently bought a new 2012 sportsman and it does want to dive a bit in a hard corner (outside front wheel)...I will not be plowing (neighbors thought I was crazy for getting a snowblower a few years back). We got our first snow of the year last week..all of 5 inches

Ditto, If it doesn't have an adjustment it's not right. Did you buy it new or from a person who may have tampered with it/changed the stock suspension? Even if the springs are weak on the rear the wheel should not tilt in. I don't think it's possible unless something else is going on.

I found them on EBAY for $80 shipped, polaris msrp is $75 and if I'm not mistaken my local dealer has them for about $60 last I looked. I'll know sometime towards the later part of the week when ever I make it in to buy some. Believe it or not sometimes you can get a better deal if you deal face to face with someone. I've been noticing that some things are beginning to cost more online vs. in store most likely because of the shear convenience factor. For example: Ebay I noticed that some sellers are selling tires for a higher price than my dealer can get them for. Of course shipping costs are going to be a contributing factor. And for those that say free shipping? well I really doubt it. The shipping is figured in to the overall price to give you that feeling of getting a better deal when really your not. On the other hand my dealer does not pay shipping cost from there distributors since they move so much merchandise per year. I'm not sure if that would apply to any dealership or just the ones that do a higher volume of business?
