? on front suspension w/plow
I have a 06 sportsman 500 with a 60" plow on it. I do not like how the front end sags with the weight of the plow. What do you all think of the Moose pregressor suspension preload adjusters that Dennis Kirk sells? I like the idea of an adjustment from stock without the plow to stiffer with the plow with out having to change the whole spring or adding a permanent spacer. Any pros or cons? Any other ideas? Thanks

Morning and welcome Hoosier!! 
Some guys get the adjusters and seem to like them. They will lift the front by there thickness but do nothing for spring rate or capacity.
I prefer and went with HD springs in my 700 with a G2 60" plow and am very happy with them. its one of the best things I have done to my machine...

The adjusters will probably help some. However, everybody that put the Polaris HD springs on the front of their Sportsman seem to really like them... including me when I had them on my 500 HO. Really helped for plowing and for just general riding/handling without the plow.

Ok. So you guys think the HD springs would be better. Do they make the front end sit higher? Do they make it ride a little stiffer or a lot? Would the Polaris brand be good enough or is the aftermarket better? Sorry for all the ?s. But thanks for the info.
