Take the stuffing out of the seat with it's suspension you do not need it anyways and it will lower you 3" at least.

 

Smaller tires would definitely be the easiest, but "AIR SHOCKS"!! That's an excellent idea! You could use one of those 12v tire pumps to pump up the shocks. Trick will be to find shocks of the right size and be sure that the throw is not too long as to over extend the capabilities of your U-joints. I don't know if air shocks can be incorporated into the MacPherson strut front end, but on the other machines with standard shocks it may work. Car shocks may be too stiff for a quad even with no air in them, but it might be worth a try. Hummmmm, adjustable height on the fly, that would be a neat trick! . What next? High pressure hydraulic pumps and shocks like the lowriders.

air shocks wouldn't be a bad idea, but wouldn't that add more weight to an already overwight quad?!?!? (personal opinion here)

smaller tires seem to be the most feasible alternative right now. maybe softer struts and shocks.

 

I don't think that air shocks would weigh anymore if anythin less...

 

I will agree with you on that point atving. Any weight difference between air shocks including compressor and factory shocks would be negligible. On the other hand a hydraulic system may weigh substantially more.

i'm not to knowledgable about hydro or ari shocks. i figured the pumps would weight quiet a bit.

 

Sweet!
I can see it now......
Atving with 18" chrome wheels with low profile slick tires with hydrolic shock that bounce up and down like the gang cars. With a boom box attached to his handlebars kickin out the song "low rider" by WAR.

I bet people would get out of your way if you came bouncing through!
