Lift Kits?
I just got my Big-Red and the one thing I would like to change is the ground clearance. I see lift-kits but question whether they directly provide additional ground clearance or just allow for taller tires which would so the same?
Thanks in advance. /Greg

Re: Lift Kits?
I am looking at going with the High Lifter 2" kit and was wondering if any of you have also installed the High Lifter Lift Springs. The product says it can add up to 1" more clearance. Not that I am look for an extra inch as much as I am looking for a better ride over rough terrain.

Re: Lift Kits?
I have the lift kit on mine. It pushes the ball joints down as far as they will go. Better springs will help. The ride on mine when it was new was harsh. It had softened up a little as it is getting broke in. The lift kit made it as hard as when it was new. I think the springs and weight are not matched real good. Adjustable preload shocks would be a great improvement! Are you listening Mother Honda!

Re: Lift Kits?
Thanks for that. I am still breaking in my Big Red and I have also noticed the springs getting a little softer. I have my eyes on the springs from Highlifter thinking that it may be a good choice for the future plans.
Have you had any issues with the lift kit. I am not to keen on pushing the ball joints down as far as they will go.

Re: Lift Kits?
Has anyone tried the SuperATV lift kit. Seems to bee the same idea as the High Lifter but a few dollars cheaper. I don't mind paying for a better product if it i worth the price.

Re: Lift Kits?
Look on Gorilla-axle.com Click on downloads on the home page then scroll all the way down for the Honda BR Stage one lift kit. A bit on the high side but it looks like quality stuff.
Thoughts?

Re: Lift Kits?
Looks a lot beefier than the 2" High Lifter kit I have. That said I have used mine hard and have never had any issues with it.
