P700 Superatv lift kit VS eBay spacers

[chunk1227]

Excuse my ignorance, but can anyone tell me the functional difference of the superatv lift kit VS the 2 inch spacers available on ebay? Obviously there is a price difference. I haven't heard much feedback of the superatv lift kit. Thanks in advance for the info.

From the pics alone since they dont have a breakdown for the actual lift off the machine it just looks like overpriced spacers. For the satv and only option is 2 inch.

Do you mean the spring spacer lift?

Sorry, yes, I was talking about the ebay spring spacers, that are just simple ring spacers.

I bought the eBay kit, somet'n like $20. Its a 1" pc that gives u about 2" of lift. (FYI) not sure on the 700 but I have a 1000 and it said it was the same kit, all 4 rings are the same diameter. The 1K need a 3" rear and the fronts are 2.25" I believe. Ebay kit were all 2.25"

Those spring spacers work off where they are inline with the a arms i believe the 1000 gets more of a lift on the rear than the 700 but they are roughly the same about half the height of the lift height per spacer

Yes, I meant the kit (at least the one I bought) came with all 4 pieces the same diameter (2.25"). On the 1K the rear spring spacer needs to be 3" ID.
These are the rears 👇

Hope this helps any. I know the 700's can be upgraded to the 1K front shocks all around also, that maybe somt'n to think about.

Has to be 3 inch ID to fit on the bottom or for the top? Is that in the picture what you ordered or something you made?

I had my buddy cut me some 3/4" high 3"ID schedule 40 pipe. It goes up top, sits between the spring and the washer that keeps the spring locked in.

The kit I ordered only worked for the front shocks, so I have 2 pcs left over. I could've had my buddy just cut them for me but I figured for $20 on ebay I didnt have to bother him and they where already painted. But, didn't work out that way.. Still had to call him up.

Anyone running the spring spacers have some input on ride quality being degraded? Also, will they void the factory warranty?

Still thinking here...if I went with 27" tires from the current 25s and the spring spacers will I gain 3" or so of clearance?

Not sure if itll void warranty. Tires probably will. The stocks are more like 24.5 inches so depends on the 27s you get you can gain anywhere from 1 inch to almost 2 inches of clearance just from the tires. Being how some are below true ,some are true and some are above true size. Spring Spacers come in a few sizes from 1.5- to 2.5 from what iv seen but youll vary the height depending on what machine you have 2 seater vs 4 seater.

Thx Alan. I have a 700-2 on 12" wheels and am kinda sorta shopping for tires. If the spring spaces dont beat me to death than I would be fine with that vs a full lift. I think of it about like putting a leveling kit on my truck instead of a full lift.

Although I wont do anything that will affect my factory warranty so I will probably wait until a necessity

I cant really tell on mine seems like it stiffened it a little bit but i put mine on and added portals and tires at the same time. Biggest thing is if you want the best ride stick with the 12 inch rims. Gives you more tire flex. I got 32s on 16 inch rims but went narrow and i can tell just off that my ride went a little rougher cause im running 8.5 wide now but i was at 10s and 12s wide on 27s and that was cush for me on a 2.5 strongmade lift. Bottomed out a few times on some rough stuff. But i run alot slower now and i can actually miss some of the holes now if its not all the way across the road by swerving and putting all the weight on 1 side lol.
