My front coil springs sag real bad, which ones are you using I can get either the HL ones on the EPI heavy duty ones. Should I also do the rears, I have 29.5's and they adjusters are cranked rite up, in the rear.

Thanks

Get the EPI's, not only because the HL guys banned me from their site even though I used to promote a lot of stuff they sell, but because the HL springs are bigger in diameter and will not fit into the retaining ring on my front lift kit.

So far, I have only heard good things about the EPI's, and I do know that they WILL fit with my front lift.

Sorry to hear that Paul I didn't know those Pricks did that to you, thanks for the info on the springs, I guess I will spend more time here. Kinda the ones I was thinking about getting.

EPI HD coil springs is what I have front and rear and would not go back.

Rear preload adjuster is a minimum with RD lift kit.

I have Polaris HD springs on my fronts. I think they are off of a Ranger or MV7. Highlifter told me the popo springs are heavier than theirs are & theirs are close to the EPIs. That’s what they said but who really knows.
I don’t think mine will fit in Rubberdowns's front lift either as they have larger diameter wire in the coils as well.

With my RD rear lift im also at the lowest pre-load.

New to the site.... Paul forced me when I ordered my rear lift. LOL

I have the EPI's on my 800. Gave me a 1.5" to 1.75" lift. Bike is great to drive now. Really noticable on steep downhills and high speed cornering. I got mine from the US but I think Royal Distributing has them.

Ya slapnuts, they are pretty strickt over there, i hear more and more people that are dissapointed in the direction they are going, but hey, thats their progative not mine, me, I like to let it a little bit more loose and relaxed here, afterall, we are all grownups, and the ones that arent, I'm sure they are around enough redneck grownups like us while riding and wrenching to hear and see all kinds of stuff that only grownups should see and do, so a little fun with words aint gonna taint them any.....BTW, thats jusy MY personal opinion.

I only got about 1" from the Ranger springs but these things are the best for plowing. The front will drop only about 1.25" with me at 220lbs standing on the front rack. They really do help with cornering & best of all I don’t hit the fenders any more;)
