I just finished the switch and I dawned on me... this may not be such a good idea?!?! For the past year my Xplorer has been handling aweful and upon checking the struts I found them to be totally finished---> so when taking my modded Scrambler apart I decided to install my Works struts from the Scram onto the Xplorer. I also installed my HotSeat Dual rate springs up front. Looks great and suspension action is much better.

Obviously it adds a couple inches of travel which seems good in all but: The wheels are now "lower" and angled inwards at the bottom a bit more. Could this damage the shaft drive going into the hubs? Could I just tighten the tie rods to help bring the top of the tires farthur in. Man I hope it works...

THERE IS NO adjustment on that/the tei rods only adjust steering toe in.

As long as everything moves freely through the full suspension travel, you should be OK. The main thing I would worry about would be the axle length. As the wheels move up & downin relation to the frame, the axle has to get longer & shorter. Be sure there is enough travel in the splines at the CV joint. If it pulls apart, you will have fun trying to get it back together again.

Not to mention the wheel camber, either. Without switching A-arms, the wheels will have negative camber (the tops lean out farther than the bottoms). This could result in some hairy steering on the trail. Unfortunately you can't add longer a-arms due to the front drive shaft length. I would also worry about the front driveshaft angles and the U or CV joints.

This is perplexing... The Xplorer has 6.7 inches of travel and the Scrambler has about 8.2 inches. That is only 1.5 inches more. Wouldn't what I did be pretty much the same as a "lift kit"? If memory serves, a lift kit (High Lifter) on a Polaris consists of tubular spacers placed under the spring and strut which are about 2" high. I really feel like making this work otherwise it's new Struts and Springs again. $$$
