So this last weekend my wife and I went on a 60 mile ride with a local atv club for charity. In the process I did some damage to my skid plate, pretty well totaled it. I didn't have the ground clearance of all the other machines. I only had 8" ground clearance front and rear.
Well I decided to move the front shock mount to the outside as the are 2 possible mounting locations. Then I preloaded the front springs. So now I have a full 12" clearance in the front.
The rear shock mounts also have another option to mount them, but in order to do that I would have to disconnect the sway bars, or Fab a new one, which I don't have the know how to do. So a buddy of mine is making a bolt on shock mount lift that I could place on the lower a arm. Without the new lift the most clearance I can get is 9 1/2" at the rear with springs preloaded.
Anyone else run into this issue, or lift their 450i
