P1000 Lift Kit

[BlueCollarGuy7007]

After 2 of the guys I hunt w/ had their machines lifted I'm really liking the stance & extra clearance so thinking this is my next mod'. Right now leaning towards the High Lifter 2.5" Kit but looking for some feed back if anyone has already tried it or feedback on a different kit.
Not looking for an extreme lift & more over not to loose payload or pulling capacity. It plays but this machine gets worked w/ payloads of 800 Lbs+ not counting my fat A-- in the seat & over terrain.
From what I'm seeing of comparison to the other machines in the camp still thinking the 2.5" is enough. Of the 2 machines one is a Polaris Ranger & the other a Kawasaki Mule. Both had a 4" lifts installed, the Ranger is finally not looking like it will drag axle w/ a clearance of 13" to bottom of the hitch & the Mule maybe an 1" or 2 higher. The Honda is 13" to the hitch stock so not bad.
Thoughts?, Suggestions & real life feed back please.

Thanks All.

If you just want to make the machine look a little tougher and gain some clearance you can upgrade to 28"x10" tires on all 4 corners and gain another 1/2-3/4" of ground clearance

You could also do some spring spacers if you want to go the super cheap route.

I did that to the Farm Rig (white one). Spacers and 28” tires. It gets worked a lot pulling a 6x10 trailer and usually too much junk in the bed. It does get to play sometimes though.

I have the highlifter lift installed I like it the ride is stiffer and you don't feel bumps like I did pre-lift. Before the bumps with stock shocks made my back hurt after 2 days of riding now they don't affect me no where near as bad. I had my rig lifted for $300.

Arched a arms

I would do the 2.5 high lifter lift. I think it will handle to payload the best. It cost $200 and you can put it on its very very easy.

I haven't lifted mine yet (just ordered 28" rocktanes). Considering the purpose of the lift (clearance, looks), I am considering the c fab arched arms. This is an expensive upgrade, but it seems to me that a simple lift doesn't really address the clearance around the inside area of the tires, so you may add 2.5" of lift but you really only have 1/2 of the diameter of the tire (aprox 14" on 28" tires) when approaching obstacles that are not directly in the center on the utv. The arched arms really look like the way to go. There are other brands of arched arms, but as far as I know, the c fabs are the only ones that also provide 3" of lift.
