Default grizz 600 sits tall

I have a 99' Grizzly 600 and it feels tall and i have tipped it over twice. I am wondering how i can make it sit lower to the ground besides tires not having a lot of air in them.

How much pressure are you running?
Are the springs on the shocks, preloaded to the stiffest setting? Or the softest?
If this doesnt help, they make wheel spacers, that increase the track width , and make it more stable.

My air pressure is high but not really really full. My preload is on the highest setting because i jump at the sand dunes. I have tryed the lowest setting but i bottom out too much. I tipped it when i was going around 7-10 mph. Pretty slow so it didnt hurt or anything but i t hurt the atv. The bearing caing around the clutch broke and the engine oil leaked in near the belt. Not good.
Thanks

I could see a Griz not working really well while cornering in the sand, the front end is probably digging in and all the weight is shifting on the front outside tire and flops it over. you might be able to get rid of alot of this by adjusting the tow on you quad. The Grizzlys seems to be a bit "towed in" so it makes steering effort feel less. if you tow your front wheels out a bit it might make a big difference. Also get some fatty tires so they dig in less.

oh and another thing if your jumping alot your shocks might be a bit weak now, get them revalved and maybe get some stiffer springs.
