need new springs
I want to get some new springs for the rear. Between the new tires and my fat ass, the tires rub a little when hitting dips. What are my choices? I have found references to Epi and highlifter are there any others?

If your ass is as fat as mine (6'3" 295lbs) you will like the heavy duty springs. Your atv will sit higher and in my opinion will handle better. I have EPI springs in the rear and heavy duty springs up front. The fronts are easy to swap out the rears you will definitely need a spring or strut compressor. I think if you just change the rear you will want to also change the fronts, in my opinion. This is the tool I used to install the rear springs, borrowed it from a friend, but I believe you can rent them from an auto parts store for a few bucks.

High lifter also makes a kit for your bike. I just put the highlifters on my 2012 500...I get to ride tomorrow, but now there is no sag in the rear end.
It took me about 3 hrs to do both rears with hand tools.
I will put the fronts on next week. Just ran out of time this week. I have pregressor adjusters on the front for now, turned them all the way up.
