Epi , Highlifter or another?

Guys i ride 2 up on my machine at least once a week (wife wants her rides too lol) Ive decided to upgrade my suspension but cant really decide what springs to go with. I know this topic has been talked about but i guess im not getting the answers im really looking for. I know i need upgraded springs. What about the shock absorbers? Are there upgrades for those as well? Ive seen stage 1 and 2 and 3 starting at 700 bucks YIKES but is there an aftermarket shock as well that will give me additional suspension without cleaning out my wallet? I really want to beef it up front and rear. not looking for a lift as much as load capacity. Any suggestions on springs and shocks is greatly appreciated. I thought about a second machine but im certain suspension is more within my budget. Types of suspension pro and con along with sites i can purchase from would be awesome. Thanks for your help!

Go with whatever is cheaper. EPI makes the springs for Highlifter. They are the same thing. The HD springs is all you will need to stiffen up your suspension. You do not need new shocks. The only con I can think of is that when you ride alone your ride will be a little stiffer.
