Does it ride any harder or feel less stable? I'm really wanting a fix too
Feels a bit firmer, still stable with just the fronts done. Only rode 15 miles so far after I did the rears and I felt comfortable in the turns at 40-45. Ride is still great. I don't have to brace my self for those unexpected holes.

Any chance you did the spacers first or did you do it all at once

I'm not wanting much lift and absolutely no width still waiting on fox but I need to do something with the nose. When I did that on the 700 it got really stiff then went to better legs.

Very impressive!

@AK_Centurion, do you have the auto leveling rear shocks?

It seems that the spacer lift would have adverse affects on those if you do.

Yep, I have the auto leveling. With the amount of preload I have on the rears, I don't think the auto leveling would kick in. I'm near the top end of the travel range.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I ask because I want new front shocks but I want to keep the rear auto level shocks. So, I may need to find some way to lift the rear shocks.

It just got a little stiffer was all? Was body roll better?
Less body roll when coasting or slowing down. About the same as stock when you are on the throttle. This is with the front done only. Didn't get too aggressive in the 15 miles after the rears were done.

I would try the spacer in the rear. Your wheels won't droop any farther. The shocks will limit that. I couldn't push my arms down any farther with the shock removed.

I used 3" pipe with .25" wall. You'll gain 2x the spacer height, at least that's how it came out with the arched arms.

Kit comes with 4 spacers. They only fit the front shocks, you might be able to sell the other two or just give to a buddy.
The kit that comes with 4 only fits front? Do you know pipe size in the front?

Would have made it if the RZR in front of me didn't get stuck! Was able to Pull that same RZR though a mile of this stuff, even with a broken CV. He toasted his Primary, it had a groove worn into it. Replacement belt last 500 yds.
