BRP HPG Shock/HD Spring Install

[Ostacruiser]

I got my HPG shocks and HD springs on tonight, everything went smooth as butter. Hopefully Friday evening I'll have rims and tires on. :occasion14:
Here are some install pics, I used a spring compressor from Canadian Tire loan a tool. I don't think you could do this job with out a spring compressor.
I cut my pipe lift with a sawzall, worked great.

Gave them a quick coat of paint so they blend in a little better

Spring comming off the old shocks, you have to take apart your old shocks to reuse your spring retainer cups and preload adjusters

New shock and spring together, I used a impact driver to tighten the spring compressors. Worked great

The whole process took about 45 min, that included cutting my pipe spacers. Big thanks to Justin at Pines for the BRP HPG shocks/HD spring kit

Have you ridden it yet?

Those little impacts are the best thing since sliced bread.

Am I missing something that you have shocks and not struts on the front of your sportsman?

[Atomic_Sportsman]

I also see power steering. What am I missing?

It's a Can Am

Your in the Can Am section goober. Notice the inboard brakes and the fact that it's not in the shop because it's broken down, but just to get upgrades.

Besides, you can tell by just looking at the pictures it's really fast. That should tip you off that it's not a Polaris.

Maybe if we had a pic of the rear end, he would have recognized one.

I don't go to sections on this forum. I use the "New Post" button. Didn't realize I was in the Can-Am section. The quote below should make me a little less of a goober as his signature is why I asked.

[Ostacruiser]

Very nice. Just curious why the pipe lift? Just for extra stiffness? Tks.

Just so there's no chance of my front tires eating the back of my headlights
