OK...I apologize for anyone who purchased a HighLifter Lift due to me praising them and having no trouble. I sent the 650 Rincon axle's in just for new CV Boots. I recieved a call today to come see the damage.
Aparently, the 2 inch HighLifter Lift puts the front axles at such an angle that the actual shaft rubs on the inside black caseing... ( Picture #1 ). This in turn caused the metal to flair out wearing the metal. This smashed the metal over and closed the grove that allows the snap ring to come out. It thinned the metal paper thin that you can bend it with your fingers...
The damage was so severe that the ATV shop asked to keep an axle to show other patrons what happens with too much lift. I did no think that was too much but obviously wrong..
Replacement price ??
Gorrilla Axle for the lift.........2 for $700.00...........No Warrantee
Stock Axle.......................... 2 for $320.00...........Warrantee
Daytona Axle Rebuild...........2 for $600.00...........No Warrantee
Well, I got a 2 inch HighLiter lift that I will pay someone $50 to come to my house and take this POS out of my yard.
This damage was unseen due to it being under the boots..No way of seeing this comming. Good luck to everyone, I just wanted to get this out so people could see.. Thanks guys...And see you on the trails....someday..
