k im thinking of getting the 512 shocks for my foreman insted of doing the 2 inch lift it will be later on tho when i do buy them im wondering how much of a lift/ gc i would gain ? ill prob only be running 26" tires max when i get done or would i be better off buying HL springs?

here is a link that gives you the ability to get longer shocks
Progressive Suspension 512 Series Shocks - SummitRacing.com

IMO just spend the money on the hl springs .......the 512 shocks are pricy .
or do the 450 shock swap

i seen on ebay i could get all 4 for 270$

Andysix6 · 01-21-2012, 04:27 PM

would the HL springs give a more lift ?

rich450es · 01-21-2012, 04:31 PM

it will only expand the shock to max ......stock hight (just think of the hl spring as a heaver duty stock spring that will hold more weight = less sag

yes but ....you would have to move the stock rear shocks to the front and the 450 shocks on the rear and you got yourself a 2 1/2in lift ......
