Rubberdown 3" Lift ???

[04.5700EFI]

Ive Seen A Few People Say They Had A 3" Rubberdown Lift..maybe I Over Looked It On The Site But I Dont See A 3" Lift.. Are Is It Just The 2" Lift With Something Added??

[Rubberdown]

I have 3 of them on the shelf at home, i dont have them listed on the site because they are pretty rare that I sell one. The price for it is $10 more than the other ones listed but it still only comes with a 1.5" rear kit. If you crank up the rear preload you get about 2" in the rear.

I also dont recommend the 3" kit on stock front axles even though Dirtbmw20 has had no issues yet, its just a matter of time, or turn, in a bad spot before he snaps a CV, crazy bugger that he is LOL.

Welcome to the site, my home is your home. Let me know if you would like one of those 3" bad boys ;)

Paul.

you cant go with more than 1.5 on the rear anyway... not with stock axles.

trust me i tried.

after having to replace 3 rear axles on my bike before it had 5 hours on it i learned the following

A. stock polaris rear axles dont like alot of lift.
B. polaris had their head in their ass when they designed their "plunge joint"
C. when you have to use a 3' pry bar to force the rear suspension down enough to bolt up the shocks.... bad things will happen
D. gorilla makes a really really good axle.
E. its damn hot in alabama during the summer.

Man you can say that again....IT IS Hot as hell down here in andalusia AL...I'm ready for snow...I will be happy with just winter :P

I Have Hl Hd Front Springs Will They Fit In The Rd Lift????

[Rubberdown]

No, I am pretty sure they are a little too big in diameter on the coil to drop into the cup I machine into the top of the kit. I could make you a 3" Ranger front lift, they will hold the HL springs no problem. If you do want one, let me know and I'll get you a price on those ones.

[04.5700EFI]

Whats The Price??? Is It Poss. To Get One Asap If The Price Is Not To Much Diff.

[Rubberdown]

["Bankrupt"]

it wont be long and ill be getting one of those 3" kits from you RD.

[Dirtbmw20]

See there, I'm not the ONLY crazy fool.

I know I'm eating cv boots like fricking crazy right now but I don't contribute it to the lift, at least they aren't rubbing on anything. My left front inner boot keeps getting ripped or holes in it, the last one looked like it was stretched too far. I'm fixing to replace them tonight and go ride this weekend, I'll keep it updated after my ride.

[04.5700EFI]

I Order Some Gorillas To Day To Go With The Lift...will I Be Ripping Thoes Boots !!???!! I Hope Not.. Do U Think The Cv Shafts Need To Be A Lil Longer With The 3' Lift...???????????

[fruth04]

man i wreck enough sh-t on the stock layout..... they need to go back to straight axel in the front and the rear so we dont snap anymore! ;)

[SouthernMudder]

The Gorilla axeles are longer, so I would think with the RD 3" lift in the front and the struts shaved like you have to do with all lifts, then you'll do just fine. I think the only reason Dirtbmw20 is going throw boots is cause he has stock axles in the front and there shorter then the gorilla's making them rub the strut.

As I stated above, my boot problem is NOT contributed to my lift. I don't have any rubbing problems at all, as a matter of fact, the outer boot next to the strut is not my problem. My problem is my front INNER boots and it's contributed to sticks and small logs sticking out of them, they'll do it every time.

[04.5700EFI]

Thanks Everyone For The Info! Just Waiting For The Lift. I Will Keep Yall Posted.!

[04.5700EFI]

i have hl springs on my 500 with rd's lift. they were tight but poped in to place. everything seems ok, and i've put somt pretty hard miles on it.

WELL TWO THINGS. THE SPRINGS DO NOT FIT IN THE CUP NO EVEN CLOSE. AND THE GORILLA AXLES SAY UP TO 40 DEGREES AND JUST BY LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE BIKE IT SEAMS LIKE MORE THEN 40 DEGREES..WELL I WILL JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST..LOL

[Rubberdown]

I know of 1 guy on HL running my front 3" kit with gorilla's, cant remember his name though, and Dirtbmw20 one of our very own moderators is running my 3" on the stock axles, so with the gorilla's, you should be okay. As for not fitting inside the cup, try to find a local machine shop and ask them to turn that down to about half the height of the cup and it should still catch the springs that way????

OH okay. I guess I never thought of that.
