Title: Installed 2inch lift on my grizzly Post by: rb-86 on January 10, 2008, 04:05:30 PM Finally installed the lift my girlfriend got me for christmas. After searching for kits for my bike for a while I was finally able to find a 2inch lift that didn't require after market rear axles for my bike. For some reason high lifter and moose require gorilla axles in the rear and they are like over 300 each!!! Way to much money. This company called xtreme products based out of louisiana fabricated a 2inch all around for my bike. I got a full 2 inches in the front and just over 1.6inches of lift in the rear. The kit completely relocated the suspension and as a result I can take corners faster without rolling as much. I'm extremely satisfied with the kit. Hoping to go out this saturday to test it out on the trails this weekend.

Will probably happen with that one also :o Check the boots on the rear axles after about 5 miles and see if they are hot.
But it looks good Title: Re: Installed 2inch lift on my grizzly Post by: rb-86 on January 10, 2008, 06:28:48 PM I think the reason why the other ones say you need gorillas is probably because of the angle they put on the cvs it will cause them to snap easy.

Rode around my neighbor hood and went into the powerline field that has a mudhole and some nice big rocks to climb. It was only for a little less than an hour but rode about 15 miles. Got home, checked them and they were fine. I'm going to be riding all day sunday so if it's going to happen it'll happen then. Plus I was looking at pictures from when I first got the wheels and tires and the boots don't look any different. I'll post again when I get some more miles on the kit. Thanks. Title: Re: Installed 2inch lift on my grizzly Post by: TOY_DOCTOR on January 10, 2008, 09:35:44 PM I have the same lift on my grizzly and it has lots of miles on it with no problems, I also have the highlifter hd springs and helps keep the big tires from rubbing the fenders...

Awesome, i had never been able to find anybody else with the lift to ask if it was good or not. Thanks u just calmed me down lol. Cool to know u have the highlifter springs, i was planning on getting those next. I read on yasky that those springs give u one inch of lift. Is that true? Title: Re: Installed 2inch lift on my grizzly Post by: MOTOCROSS MAVERICK on January 11, 2008, 02:52:51 PM looks good! but it needs a wash.

I try to take all the plastics off once a month to give it a good cleaning. It's not that time of the month yet 2:L Title: Re: Installed 2inch lift on my grizzly Post by: AmericanRobster on January 11, 2008, 05:36:19 PM Awesome kit man. I found a 2 inch kit on ebay for my Arctic Cat for $60. How do you like the Mudlite XTR tires? I was thinking of 2 inches of lift and 27 inch tires on 14 inch wheels for my ATV.

How do you like the Mudlite XTR tires? I was thinking of 2 inches of lift and 27 inch tires on 14 inch wheels for my ATV. I can't begin to tell u how happy i am with these tires. What i love about them is that they are not just a mud tire. I've done mudding, rock crawling, rock trails, sand trails, street, etc... They have about 700 miles on them in those pictures and they hardly show any wear. My friend has 28" outlaws and whenever we climb rocky hills he starts losing chunks lol. And i do just as good as him in the mud. I'm gonna step up to 27" if i ever finish this set off. The rear left tire even has two patches in it.

I just had to shim the exhaust out a bit but some washers took care of that (ur kit might be different). The front more complicated, but if you have someone helping you it should be easy. It took me about an hour and a half doing it myself. Title: Re: Installed 2inch lift on my grizzly Post by: AmericanRobster on January 12, 2008, 06:37:41 PM Awesome kit man.

Sign me up LOL I don't know if your trv will have problems but most ACs with a 2" lift have problems with the front axles pulling out(to short) so most have to get gorillas in the front(3/4" longer) which stops that. Also I know the TRV is lowered 2"s(shorter shocks) so the 2" might not pull out with the trv but I know you can get regular AC shocks(non trv) and get 2"s of lift. Or at least that is what people said on highlifter. Title: Re: Installed 2inch lift on my grizzly Post by: AmericanRobster on January 12, 2008, 11:18:09 PM Awesome kit man.
