Spring spacers

I recently installed a set of the pure Polaris rubber spring spacers due to the front end sagging a little after a winch and brush guard. After installing them I noticed that they aren't tight at all. You can still move them even while on the bike. Is this normal? If so, maybe they're not needed. Insight please.

Thanks

They are mainly designed to be used with a plow attached to the bike. But if you get some industrial zip ties and place a few around them to help hold them in you could use them all the time.

I got some for my dads 600 because he is not a big mod junkie like most of us can be. Turning and general use has made it easier for the steering with him. While running the plow they help some...but springs would have been better.

Overall...yeah they are good for basic apps...but not hardcore use.

Almost forgot...they will help with the front end diveing when hard braking is needed.
