| What brand high clerance a arms do most of you guys like and use? I have a set of Highlifter on my XP1000 and bent one bad this weekend, its touching the axle. And being honest I was not beating on the machine and have no idea how it happen. The only rough trail I rode was trail 15 at windrock and honestly just crawled up it. I am sure it happen their but I usually know when I hit something hard enough to do that kind of damage. So with that said I am not happy with them at all. | |

| They need to use .120" wall tube with decent bracing and that would not happen. Check out ORB if you want something heavy duty that will take a beating and has a lifetime guarantee not to break. | |

| I didn't see you hit anything at top of 15... Maybe it was the extreme off camber to the left of 15 that put too much stress on that A-arm. If so that's just jacked up.! | |

| I think they do make them out of .120 wall. It for sure came in contact with a rock because the paint is scratched off. I am going to see what higlifter does and if we cant work something out I am going to try the ORB ones. | |

| Ordering the ORB now. I have the highlifter rear radius bars on my 1000 and they seem good had them on my 900. But I dont think I will be buying any more of their stuff after the reply I got from them today. | |

Their reply is the most redicilous thing I have ever heard from a company that's in the offroad buisness make. Shame on highlifter! I can understand that any product can be damaged and how it is reasonable for any company to take the position of sorry but you hit a rock and that's not our fault. But for them to pretty much admit that their product is not designed for the weight of the machine if it takes a lick from a rock is ridiculous ! They need to stop making those inferior popcorn chit front A-arms and put duarabilty back in their work principles when making their products. | |
