Title: Lift Kits Post by: ucfneed2ride on December 25, 2004, 08:47:00 AM I was wondering if there are any "side affects" to the motor with installing a lift kit without adjusting anythingin the motor. Also, how much does it cost to get the lift kit installed?

Title: Re: Lift Kits Post by: ucfneed2ride on December 25, 2004, 11:19:48 AM Awesome... i appreciate the info!
Title: Re: Lift Kits Post by: ucfneed2ride on December 25, 2004, 11:24:38 AM Oh yeah...i found some on ebay and one kit comes with the coil spings and the others dont. If i want to lift it 1.5 to 2 inches do i need to buy the kit with the springs?

What do you want for the lift kit if you still have it? Title: Re: Lift Kits Post by: SoFlaEiger on February 16, 2005, 07:27:19 PM is there any way to make hte lift kit "not hard" on the cv joints?
Title: Re: Lift Kits Post by: Truegrit on February 16, 2005, 07:39:08 PM No they are all harder on CVs... The Perfex long travel kit for Hondas seems to br the least taxing. A lift combined with large aggressive tire will decrease the life of certain parts of your machine.
If you don't taking the bike through jumps and abuse it like that your cvs would last a lot longer than if you did. Thousands of people have lifts, and there are problems, but as long as you do not abuse the machine you will be ok for a while. Title: Re: Lift Kits Post by: SoFlaEiger on February 16, 2005, 07:44:11 PM ya i don't really jump my bike...im in the mud more than anything really. I'll go over a few hills and rocks but not aggresively.
I got stuck on a damn rock yesterday so im dying to get a lift and some bigger tires to get that sh*t out of the way lol. Im spending too much damn money on this bike and i havne't even made my first payment lol $400 for a winch, $300 for new tires, another $150 to lift it...joy hehe Title: Re: Lift Kits Post by: SSRancher on February 17, 2005, 09:06:20 AM I've got the lift and 26" Vamps on the Rancher, and I abuse the hell out of the bike. I had the bike for 2 years now and it still runs like it was new.
Title: Re: Lift Kits Post by: SoFlaEiger on February 17, 2005, 09:34:45 AM is there a good place locally that i can some vamps for my stock rims on my eiger? I don't really wanna have them shipped and all that.

Title: Re: Lift Kits Post by: SoFlaEiger on February 17, 2005, 06:23:31 PM im talking about buying the tires, not just mounting them :)
Title: Re: Lift Kits Post by: Truegrit on February 17, 2005, 06:47:30 PM Wal-Mart sells some OEM type tires. You could try ARS in Okeechobee. I have noticed most dealersips that carry tires carry ITP 589s and Mudlights.
