P1000 Super atv arched a-arm install

[Carleton]

Yeah that's probably what I'd do as well, I just ordered the superatv a-arms actually! I did the high lifter lift, and front and rear camber was bad, so I'm hoping the camber adjustment will work with the superatv a-arms

Question for you guys (sorry if this is obvious)..

Are you running the Superatv arms with the highlighter bracket lift installed? If so, are you getting 4" of lift? I was thinking the superatv arms already had 2" built in of lift.

I just want to run 30x10x12 tires without moving the stock suspension angles. I'm thinking the suppurate arms would be the cheapest way to do that (the HL bracket lift modifies the suspension angles and travel)

All I used on mine was the super atv arched arms (no lift is built in just moved forward 1.5") I did put a 1" spacer in the front springs
and I am running 31/1050/15 no problems yet hope this helps

Hate opening a new thread but how are the arms doing now? And how bad does it affect the turning radius? We ride some pretty tight trails and I already have to back up a fair amount

I didn’t put the steering stops in but I account for it and try not to turn it full lock if it’s compressed or full droop.

It doesn’t really change the turning radius without the steering stops.

That's what I was thinking I'd do, just rember it can bind up, keep Turing radius on flat ground. I may just have to try them, iv been contemplating it for a while but I bent my stocker the other day on a rock

I beat the heck out of them a couple weeks ago a good bit of powder coat gone but no damage to the metal other than a surface scuff. Tough buggers.

 

[Choped5er]

Oh yeah iv had some on other machines with good luck. Just really worried about the turning aspect of them. I'll prob be looking into ordering soon asap

Who did Highlifter or SuperATV, and is there some reason they are worth $100 more?

SuperATV

After HL failures on the 700 I decided to stay away from them and their $100 extra. In my mind don’t associate HL with quality, but that’s from experience not because they are associated with popo.

I beat the powder coat in a few places off the SATV arms going down widowmaker on the Overland Trip rolling the smaller rocks over, but there was no damage to the a-arms other than that. They are BEEFY, prob close to twice the weight of the factory arms.

The additional strength does worry me some and I am considering bracing the a-arm mounts on the front.

They move the hubs 1.5 forward/rearward which helps clear larger tires, and they have a lifetime warranty.

Does anyone have the superatv a arms installed with the highlighter lift kit? And if so what did you adjust your camber and canter too in the front and back

Yes

Windroc, what is the measure for front a arms without HL lift kit?

I had 14/16 mm instead of ½ & 7/16

I don’t have a lift. Didn’t do the math to see what that equals out to be vs the HL

 

[Windrock1000]

@Jasongood the measures worked for me with or without lift. I would try both to see how it feels to you.

Has anyone experienced any axle binding while running the HL 2.5" lift kit with the SuperATV a-arms?

I’m NOT running HL but I’m not running SuperATV steering stops and they bind slightly on full lock and enough compression or droop. I would be conscientious of it and back off. So I would bet with the extra angle they would be at or beyond it even with the stops.


The factory fronts also rub the upper a-arms with the 6-1 offset. My dual beadlocks just barely started to rub at near full compression and full lock. I ground about 3/16” off.

 

[Windrock1000]

Been running the lift and a-arms for a year now and have not noticed any binding. I have not lost an axle yet.

Maybe I’m too cautious, I’ll push it harder
