Thinking of putting HD springs on a 01' SP HO. The front end seems a little soft. Any other suggestions?
Thnks

With a winch or a fuel pack up front, the suspension will feel soft and occasionally bottom out when riding briskly. Put on the heavy duty springs, it will improve the ride and you will notice very little harshness. IMHO[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I installed the heavy duty springs that the dealers sell for the sportsmans, i think 20 bucks
each, they really helped the handling, and no longer bottoms out on the jumps.
