| yeah. my stock 50" springs were riding on the bump stops, so I had to do something. I will get some better springs for these when the time comes. What weight springs did you end up going with? | |

| Ordered a set of Racer Tech medium front 2.5" 250lbs and medium 2.5" 300lbs rears. Probably a bit light for most folks but I want max articulaton. I'll let you know how they work. | |

| Me and the wife took the rzr up on the hill behind the house after she got home from work and put a 3" hole in my front outer cv boot. I get one thing fixed and tear something else up... Dang trees all over the log roads. | |

| Yeah I am getting there. Once I replace my heims, I will have replaced everything except the arms. I have Bluetorch kingpins, rackzilla rack and tierods, no more lift brackets that kept bending.
How are you liking those utv inc billet hubs? | |

| I guess there ok, have not broke one Saw a good deal on them and figured I'd replace the stock ones before they broke. When you replace the heims use a quality one like H/K with teflon liners. You'll also need to check the mounting holes for wear. The heims transfer much more shock to the mounting locations than a bushing. The metal is very then and all mine were egg shaped. I welded in some Racer Tech chrome moly washers. | |
