Default Eiger suspension pics

To all those interested, I put a couple of new pics up on my page that show my new suspension and clearance.

Alright....What's the low down on these units. What'd they come off of? Looks to have some positive camber, does it go away when on the bike? I like what i see

Any lift on this quad will alter the camber as the control arms are un-equal length. I had to adjust the tow-in slightly. If you loaded the front rack down to get back to stock ride-height, then yes, back to zero camber. But, you take the "good" with the "bad".

Camber isn't gonna hurt anything if it's reasonable. I haven't noticed any effects on driveability after I adjusted tow.

Camber isn't adjustable that I can see. Bolts don't appear to have cams on them.

Front shocks-Vinson
Rear shocks-Z400 front shocks.

I like. How does it ride? Can it handle jumps better? Are the Vinson shocks the same front and rear?


thanks

I would have used Vinson rears, but couldn't come up with any.

I imagine they'd be a little longer than Eiger rears just like the fronts were, but I don't know that for sure.

Nice look. Excellent work. I have contemplated the value of one of these lift kits. Can you post a side view at your convenience. I guess I have to think about the trade offs. Everytime I get a motor powered vehicle I mess with it to the point where it either does not work as intended therefore making it useless or make it where it is always being messed with again making it worthless. Even simple mods can make something go sideways. I just really think the Eiger needs some better aftermarket tires and maybe a better set of wheels(appearance purposes only)

Thanks for the update aksafari...

Front shocks-Vinson
Rear shocks-Z400 front shocks

Skid plate clearance is at 11.5"

I did NOT put a lift kit on my Eiger. The lift is purely from the new shocks.
