P1000 Rear Spring Spacer...HELP!

[Dangb1]

I purchased spacers from E bay for my 700 2D, Honda Pioneer 500 700 700-4 1000 UTV Complete 2-1/2" 2.5" Lift Spacer Kit

installed them and they lifted it 2.5 inches.

I had a friend cut mine at 1-1/8" on his lathe for the front and 1" for the rear. I had him cut extra so we can lift the P700 that we bought for the kids also.

I’m shocked someone doesn’t just sell these things, wouldn’t be a huge money maker but obviously a market.

Are you happy with the height? If I remember, I had em all cut at 1 inch because of what I read on another post.

Yeah, I didn't measure before and after like I should have but I could see the difference and I cleared logs and rocks that I used to drag on the skid plate before. It also improved the ride and cornering by stiffening up the springs.
I'm going to try to remember to measure before and after when I install the spacers on the 700.

I did the same thing as you did....forgot to measure. Russ posted earlier that you should double the height of your spacer. I'm considering going higher, but wonder about unintended consequences. Maybe undue pressure on joints or something.

I've only had the spacers installed on mine for a little over a month but we have been through some of our rougher trails and I ran it hard with no problems so far.
