Great video! Are those the OEM springs from Polaris? How do you determine the ride height? Are you actually measuring the tire, as some tires vary from the markings on the sidewall? How did you determine ride height to be 15.5 when half of 32” is 16 + 1” would be 17”
Hi Jeff, the stock ride height is 14.5" for this stock Pro XP and I added 1" for the larger tires, so we wanted to get 15.5" we got close but ran out of movement on the rear.
He has been advised to purchase a dual rate spring kit. but when the ride height from the stock springs is 2" low from Polaris specification it actually rides better because now it is inside of Polaris spec. And the bonus of not hitting every rock in the trail. thanks for your comment
The only problem with his you set it is it’s unloaded. Understandable you can’t go any higher in the rear but setting the ride height without the passenger weight in it means it won’t be sitting at 15.5” like it should when riding. Having it at the correct height with no passenger weight is just wrong
Cant you adjust em at full droop?

Why would you not replace the top springs or getting a drs. It can’t feel good driving it compared to how it should be feeling.

Did you only adjust the tender springs, or did you do the lower springs too?
I adjusted the spring collars on the top of the tender springs.
