Default Lift kit installed

Just finished installing my HL 2" lift kit the other night. Wow this is the 4th lift kit I've installed and by far the most work . I case you all didnt know all the shocks and springs need to be removed. If you dont have a spring compressor ( like me ) 4 rachet straps and a good solid vice will do. All and all pretty happy with it. Also installed a sound system on the old girl will I was at it.

Yeah , its kinda weird. Its a spacer on the rear that goes under the spring and for the front is a spacer and bracket. Doesnt change the comfort of the ride tho. But yes spring off the shock on all four.

Hmm thats odd. On mine I just had to unbold the lower portion of the shock and stick the little brackets inbetween the shock and the axle. Granted they are 2 different machines though. Glad everything worked out for you, and you gotta love havin a radio on a quad. I get laughed at all the time till I turn it on ....."d4mn that sounds good"

Yeah I love having the music going. I tested mine and the CD doesnt even skip while riding. I just used 2 4" Pioneer speakers. Hooked up the antenna incase the CD get old. Good for camping and just trail side beers.
