For a while now the springs on my quad keep getting softer and softer even though the springs are set at the strongest setting. After searching the net I came across highlifters high capacity springs. I do a lot of towing and carry a desent amount of wait on my racks. All i want to know is if they really are worth the $160, and if anyone knows about them?

IF you are carrying a lot of weight I would buy the stouter springs. Any company that makes/sells snowplows should have springs available. It pays to shop around! What does RockyMountainATV say? I would go there first. I always talk to Debbie.

New springs are really your only solution: expect it to ride stiffer when empty but it should not be a major problem.... Let us know how it goes!

looked pretty much everywhere cant find anything except installation guides and links to high lifter. i called rockymountain and they didn't carry anything or know were to get springs for an arctic cat. if u know of any springs feel free to list them..... Thanks for the input...

I have a buddy who is an Artic Cat Tech at Gander Mountain. I'll talk to him tomorrow or the next day.

raptor wat are those stouter springs u were talking about

Raptor8 · 05-23-2008, 06:38 PM

my thot was cycle country since they do plows and implements, but no luck there. still searching....
one of the big plow mfrs markets a whole bunch of springs I just haven't found them yet. an ATV magazine might help...

google search turned up only Baldwin Motorsports for RCS springs - maybe.
There just isn't much out there for AC. Did the dealer say anything helpful?

thanks for looking but no haven't called the dealer probably will do it tomorrow.... i am alright with the highlifter springs but there bright yellow, and it might look a little weird since the whole atv is green and black. but i will keep searching

you could always paint them or better yet powdercoat them...

outlander560 · 05-24-2008, 10:09 PM

thats not a bad idea but wear can i go to get them powder coated? and doesnt that cost a lot

Raptor8 · 05-24-2008, 10:11 PM

check with someone. most auto parts stores will know someone local who does it. even this littlw town has a powder coater. the custom car guys and the golfers keep him busy..
