| has anyone ever done a shock spring swap with rzr springs on a rhino shock??
my rhinos front shocks are sagging bad and i have the factory springs off my rzr just collecting dust. so i was thinking about putting the rear rzr springs on the front of the rhino.
give me some feedback guys!!! | |

| Bush, It can be done but not without a spring-compessor. Todd sells one I'm pretty sure. I tried several times with some home-built stuff but could not get the spring compressed enough to get the retaining ring off.i | |

| You could likely rent the spring compressors from an auto parts store or tool rental shop. The ones used to put shocks on McPherson-strut suspensions should work... | |

| You can get the RZR with the strut tool but not Rhino.
I am pretty sure they won't fit and if they did, they would not have enough spring rate for the Rhino.
They sag bad on the RZR | |

| i changed the stock springs on the rzr to high lifter springs and rented the tool from advance auto. only takes about 5 min to change each spring.
i know the front rzr springs are week but the rear rzr springs have to be stronger than the rhinos front springs.
i think i will rent the tool again and try to do the swap. i ant got anything to lose. | |
