Almost everybody winds up doing something about the springs, either all around or just the fronts. Might be something you would want to give some consideration to, but keep in mind about the extra angle of the CVs when doing a lift versus just bringing back up to stock height.

Its pretty fast, I just come from a predator back ground so I would like to improve the performance on the 800 to make it more racer feel but yet keep it a 4X4..............I might give rath racing a call as he does race the sportsmans so he might have some suggestions for good mods for handleing and performance

Keep in mind at 800 pounds a PoPo 800 Sportsman isn't built to go fast. But it is built to go anywhere!
