Rear suspension stop/block

[fishnhooks]

I thought that I read last year about a bar or suspension stop to prevent it from bottoming out or ??. I believe it was brought up for discussion with the thought of pulling a wheel house out. Well, I am asking the same question. Is there such a devise. I thought I remember that it was some kind of bar or something.

Does anyone know what I am talking about or am I just thinking that I remember hearing about them. If they exsist does any one know where to find them?

If it helps I have a "06 sportsman 500 efi.

Thanks,

I know what your talking about. Just put one on my 2001 Sportsman this year. No longer made by Polaris, but found one on a well known auction sight for $49.99. Really helps with the ATV running level and not bottoming out.

O.K thanks

What is the technical name for them?

Thanks,

I have the same machine. The part is from Koplin's atv implement line.

Search for " Kolpin Universal IRS Lockout "

I bought mine from cabelas. Walmart online has them for under $45.

I've seen them for Polaris and wish they had them for Yamahas. I call them spring rubbers, because they are inserted into the springs to reduce the amount they can be compressed. I believe I saw them online in a snow-plow kit of some sort since the main purpose was to have them up front when there is a plow attached to keep the front from sagging so much.

I also saw that Kolpin kit when I was searching around too. The spring rubbers look easy to add and remove and that'd be one benefit over the more permanent Kolpin idea.

LMITOUT,

Thanks I will try to look for those as well. Can you say where you found those? If not I'll give my email.

Thanks

Sorry, I don't recall where I found them. I was searching for something similar for my Yamaha and stumbled upon a site selling the Polaris spring rubbers. This was about a year ago or so and I used google but I don't recall the exact search terms I used.

Polaris sells the spring rubbers.
