Rear springs with HD fronts

My HD springs jacked my front up a lot, looks awesome. My rear was to low though. I put it on the fourth highest setting. Levels it out good, but it is an all around stiff ride. The third setting makes the back look a little lower than the front, but I think it seems a little softer. Not sure if I can really notice it, or I just know it should feel better. Defintely missing the softness off the stockers and lowest rear setting, but the plow sag was crazy and the dip while turning was too much. Made me feel very unsure while riding.

I have the 500HO that does not have adjustable fronts, but feel free to post no matter what you have.

What do you guys have yours set at? And what is your weight? I'm 260.

I'm 6' and 225#. I have the EPI HD fronts and stocker rears. IIRC I'm also on the third setting and its working well for me and the way I ride. I was considering the HD rears too.

The Fronts are great for the plow and help allot with handling.

I should have went with the EPI springs. I believe they aren't rated as stiff as the Polaris HDs. It would have helped plow sag and not been quite as stiff. I am running on the fourth setting for now. It will soften up (only two months old) and looks more level.
