P1000 Highlifter forward A-arms. Need Help!

[Carleton]

Hi - I've already talked about this on another thread, but wanted to start a new one to get any responses for those who have installed the HL forward arms. I've installed mine and the shock mounts do not line up with the shock mounts on the frame. They are forward with the arms about .75 of an inch or so. I can force the shock over into the new location, but I can tell its being stressed and not working correctly. I feel like it is going to damage the shocks. Here are some pics attached. You can see the one pic has two white lines- of the stock angle and the current angle (moved forward). Has anyone had this issue?

wow, they actually just called back and said they will not work with the fox shocks. Apparently the stock shocks have a different bushing that is flexible and works. I'm really hoping my shocks are not damaged. They said I need to send them back for a refund. I'm going to be out of riding again for a while it looks like.

That sucks dude. Im sorry to here this.
I know what your talking about with the bushings not being flexable like joints on the other brands.

We need to change this to a warning post for HL/Fox combo.

This is very frustrating. Does anyone know if the SuperATV ones work with the fox shocks? I'm assuming yes since many of you look to be running that combo. I've got to get them ordered and here asap.

Yes you have to flip the rear ones so the reservoirs are forward (swap side with them) or they will hit under compression.

Probably do, but I've got a bad bushing on my Super ATV A arm, thats got maybe 400 miles on it. Called them the bushings have a warranty of 3 months, they will only sell me a complete set for $ 90.00 because there 6 months old. I have emailed them about lack of product support and no reply, guess they don't need my business!

Yep same with bad bushing.

I’m going to have some UHMW ones made and then grease them like a pig.

So I should do this before I put mine in.

@RB3offroad looks like a UHMW bushing for the SATV a arms might be a good project

I have HL a-arms and fox shocks....they seem to work just fine.

Grease the hell out of them and keep them greased.

Yes. If I recall correctly mine is the 3" super atv lift and I have fox shocks on the front. Had to turn the reservoir to the inside though.
