P700m4 Shocks, Spacers or High Lifter Lift kits?

[Smith102420]

Been having trouble deciding which route I want to take as far as getting clearance for 28" tires. Didn't know if spacers or lift kit would make it ride more rough? Does anyone recommend one over the other?

To lift them properly to my way of thinking is a better spring and shock.
Using spacers works if all you want is height but does nothing to address the woefully inadequate stock offerings.
A slightly stiffer ride doesn't hurt these machines at all as they are too soft from the factory.
I did the P1K shock/spring swap and have never complained.
Good luck.

What @Glock21user said.
stay away from the lift too. Rougher ride and messes with the suspension geometry. Both of what u mentioned are a cheap and in most cases a temp way to achieve lift for bigger tires. Arms and shocks with pre load is the way to go.

I could be wrong but I didn't think they made offset a arms for the 700? I had spring spacers on the front shocks of my 700 and they stiffened up the ride and didn't bottom out the shocks. I also had super atv bracket lift front and back. I definitely liked the extra ground clearance. I've read on here that the commander shocks are the way to go. A lot better ride and I think they get you 2.5" of lift.

Nice. I don't recall seeing those a year ago when I was looking at different options.

The Super ATV arms are high clearance but not moved forward. Danny Duncan and Moorehead are the only ones making forward arch arms for the 700 This Dannys arms and no lift. 28x14x10

I can't seem to find Danny Duncan. I found a page selling clothes and one called Duncan racing selling quad parts but I didn't see anything for a pioneer 700.

@RB3offroad sells the kit you need to make them work. I'm sure they would know exactly what year and model can am would work

I had the commander shocks. I thought they rode at least as good as the stage 1 elka I have now.
