Lift kit?

2009 550 H1 2-up....who makes a lift kit? Having a hard time finding one.

LOL, I swear to God, I have the 650 H1 in the garage and I just spent about 8 hours on a rear kit today, the front will be getting tackled tomorrow and Monday. I ended up with 4 inches in the rear with the front not lifted, when I lifted the front with a floor jack to simulate the front being lifted as well, I ended up with 3" of gain in the rear, I will tweek it a little bit and try and pull it down about a 1/2" for a 2-1/2" lift.

I found the axles sit really flat on this machine, stock was 13 degrees in the front and 14 degrees in the rear, I'll post what they are after the design and install is complete.

Now, I'm not sure the suspension is EXACTLY the same, but I am doing this 650 H1 2-up this week and then the owner is picking it up and dropping off his 650 H1 single seater for a kit.

Who's got the machine, maybe we can set it up with a "test" kit for a "special" price when I'm done with this 2-up ?

It's at my dad's place, but i can steal it pretty much any time.....as long as there is no snow expected. The only thing i am worried about is not stressing out the axles or anything or making it handle too much worse than it already does. I'm trying to talk him into some aftermarket offset rims and some better tires, or at least some spacers and tires. Post some pics when you get that lift done!

I'll post up some pics, I ended up with about 2-1/2" front and rear for a lift, but I will get a better measurement once I get all the parts made out of steel and made to the exact sizes I need them.

The same place you bought it from also has killer deals on wheels and tires if I'm not mistaken???

If you decide to go with spacers, let me know, I'll see what I can find for you.

I think he is going to wait on doing anything about tires right now. I looked at tires when i picked it up, prices looked decent but havn't really compared much.
