I thinking about a 2 inch lift this coming summer on my 700. Can anybody give me any positives or negatives about doing it? Honda dealer was against it when I bought it.

cheap one is the spring spacer lift. ride feels a little softer afterwards. no cons i can think of iv been running the strong made shock relocator for 5 yrs and added the spring spacer last summer. still on stock axles no binding.

I agree,
While there are many options out there. The strong made with shock spacers is the best combo to not overstress your 700.
If I recommend anything on the factory shocks. It would be spring spacers before lift kits.

You can also look at Can-Am shocks and buy shock spacers for a set of P1000 shocks.

hey did anyone ever figure out if the 1000 shocks worked without binding at full droop?

Following this thread, like the ride as is now, but think additional clearance + arched a arms would be really useful for the flooded fields I typically drive. Not bouncing down any trails
