If your not planning on mudding it I would not bother with a lift. With it being an 01 model I would bet that a new set of shocks and heavy duty springs would lift it back to where it should be. (Im sure that heavy plow did not help those springs out either) The stock stuff wears out and sags alot over time. Personally I would go with 12 inch wheels and 26 inch tires. It will make a huge difference in the way it looks and performs. If you plan on mud bogging thats a different story. Another thing that I always wanted to do if I had a older model like yours was to replace the lower headlights with rigid industries led dually lights. The mounting may be different but they will fit perfectly in the stock location. It will be night and day over your stock lights. Hope this helps you some. Good luck, and a great atv you have. Thanks for the pic.
