Do They Make???????

[realtower]

Does any one know if they they sell a product to stiffen up the shocks on a sportsman atv? My fish house has to much toung weight and flattens it down. So they must have a pruduct that will take the weight off the shocks. Remeber it has independent suspention.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I cant answer your question.. but how about putting more weight in the back of the fish house and lighten up the toungue a bit?

[Eric Wettschreck]

Lot's of people install a tounge jack. One with a wheel on the bottom.

Hook the house to the wheeler and crank down the jack a bit until some weight is off the wheeler and onto the jack.

We ran into the same problem this year with two new Sportsman. I don't know where he got it, but one of the guys got a clamp that clamps onto the actual shock and prevents it from bottoming out. So they make them, I just don't know where. I will try to get a hold of him tonight to find out.

Polaris makes spring rubbers you can insert into the springs to prevent them from fully compressing.

I installed some heavier springs on my 400, that helped a bit.

[Kodiak]

get a elka shock kit, the have a full adjustability of range.

[realtower]

That would be great if you can let me know where you got the clamp. And yes I have all the gear in he back but the tanks and the stove and cabnits are heavy

Make sure you have the shocks set to the heavyest setting. Both my Sportsman 400 and new X2 would bottom out bad when I hooked up the fishhouse or boat. From factory they were set to the softest setting. Changed them and now, no problem. I also bought a 6" drop down hitch which I turned upside down to raise the tounge up. Much better now.

You've got a few suggestions already; change preload setting to the hardest, Polaris dealers should carry the rubber spring spacers and try Cycle Country for a rear suspension lockout device. Kolpin Dirtworks also sells an ATV Suspension Lockout device through Cabelas. Google ATV Suspension Lockout
