Lift Question

I have an 08 Sportsman 500 H.O. I bought a few months ago and I noticed that the front tires are towed in at the top. I researched it a little and found out that was normal for all Sportsmans, and to fix it, would have to get stiffer springs.

My question is, if I were to put a 1 or 2 inch lift on it, would that solve the problem?

I put a RDC 2 inch lift in mine with the stock springs and now they sit perfectly level. I think if you do the lift plus heavy duty springs then they will be out more on the top then bottom.

Yeah I wasn't wanting to add HD springs. I was thinking about just added a lift and seeing if that took care of the problem.

Thanks!
