-Using spring compressors to compress the spring and pull the top end of it out towards the wheel well
-Install the lift block in the top shock mounting position. You must feed the new bolts in from the front to the back of the quad so that the nut goes on closer to the back of the quad.
-Bolt the top of the shocks into the lift blocks.
-Use a floor jack to lift up on the wheel hub so you can bolt the tortion bar assembly back together
-Put tires back on
-GO PLAY IN THE MUd

Hi, welcome to the forums, are you really in Israel? If so, do you live there or are you from North America? I've mailed a kit to France, but thats the only place off of this continent so far.

It's actually more of a 2-1/2" but these crazy Honda guys keep calling it a 3" LOL.

Anyways, as you can see at the top of every forum, I am running a special until Valentines day as per my wifes decision, so far its going well.

Would you like the ordering details?

Welcome to the forum JMabe.

The reason you cant find it is because like the RZR lift kit, lately I can hardly keep up with the demand so I havent bothered putting it on the site yet. sorry.

If you would like to order one, just let me know and I can PM you all the details.

Paul.

I read through the instructions and have a question.

Can the rear lift be installed w/o a spring compressor or do I need to track one down?

dcfox

04-20-2008, 02:50 PM

Bump...still looking for an answer.

Rubberdown

04-20-2008, 03:25 PM

Sorry buddy, was at an event yesterday and working on getting ready the few days before....

You can try using a prybar to get the spring compressed enough if you remove the entire shock and bolt in the top end first, but its kinda tight and could be a little dangerous if it were to slip on you.

You could also visit one of your local automotive supply stores, most of these stores now have a "loan a tool" or "borrow a tool" program where you can use it if you leave a deposit on it, then return it for your deposit back in full....

Mole

A pry bar worked for me. An extra set of hands helps also.

FireMedic

04-21-2008, 03:52 PM

Just got mine in the mail today and got it installed. All I used was me and a pry bar. Worked just fine. Thanks for making it so easy Paul. Looks great! Man, it's up there now. Here's some before and afters for ya!

Paul, heard a nasty rumor that if I install a 3" lift with my HL springs it will cause my CV joints to start popping because of the extreme angle. Tell me this isn't so! I like the ride my springs give, but I also want one of your lifts. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I got my lift in friday. Put it on 2 am Saturday morning what an awesome product you wont break any of them pieces not to bad to install only problem i had was in the front top shock bolts are hard to get to. THIS LIFT IS FAR BETTER THAN ANY HIGH LIFTER LIFT KIT IVE SEEN.

Rubberdown

07-13-2008, 11:04 AM

LOL, thanks Matt, thats always my goal, to make a better product them them or any other manufacturer, better looking, heavier duty and better customer service.

Did you rotate the sway bar in the rear?

850PoPo

07-13-2008, 12:10 PM

No What I Did Unbolted Those Two Silver Pieces That Are On The Sway Bar They Were Located Under Arm Top Section Now Located On Top Had Lots Of Trouble Doing So. Had To Use Tow Strap Hooking It To Back Rack Other End On Atv Stand To Squat The Atv Like Someone Is Setting On It I Will Take Pics Of This To Help People In Future Install

Any of you honda guys running 27 inch mudbugs on your rincon? Im wondering If i can fit 27x12-12 on the back without rubbing my batt box. I got the rubberdown lift on already so my tires are a bit closer to the batt box already... thanx.

I ran 28x12 Mud Bugs on my old Rincon with a Rubberdown lift and NO rubbing. You should be fine. Put a little extra air in them to narrow them up if you are worried about it rubbing.

850PoPo

03-11-2009, 05:22 PM

True I just put 27's Swamp Witches on mine with 7 psi they have a good 1 to 1 1/2 inches of clearance of the batt box with 4 psi they have 3/4 inch clearance of it

03-11-2009, 07:19 PM

you guys run these with "stock" rims though?

850PoPo

03-12-2009, 05:52 AM

I had a set of 08 Grizzly rims now the new tires are on ITP's. Really doesn't matter I've seen 29.5's mounted on stock rims 2 inch lift and no rub but the guy was 165lbs wet
