About ATV Lift Kits
Sometimes, you've just got to raise your ATV - even just a fraction, just an inch or so - away from the ground. It could be that the terrain is much too rocky and keeps banging on the ATV's underside, or maybe your ATV is way too low and you need to pass a stretch of a watery trail. Either way, you need ATV lift kits to get the work done.
ATV lift kits are sets of bolts and braces that are designed to adjust your ATV and gain more ground clearance. ATV lift kits have an average of a 2 inch lift. They are also easy bolt-on-bracket systems that you can install while on the road.
There are several kinds of ATV lift kits available, most of them designed for a specific machine so it isn't a choose-your-preference exercise. You should consider your vehicle type and the manufacturer's stock suspension. You should consider, too, the existing lift your ATV tires allow on your vehicle and decide how much lift you need to add. You have to balance the overall existing conditions of your ATV and the lift you're going to install, so there's a working harmony between them. Remember, the higher your ATV is from the ground, the higher, too, will be its center of gravity. This, in turn can heighten the risk of your ATV overturning.
Besides terrain conditions, ATV lift kits are also used to enhance an ATV's working condition. Here are some samples of ATV lift kits and how they are employed to enhance performance.
ATV Lift Kit used: Kawasaki Mule Lift System : Applies on all Mules (Kawasaki)
This lift system provides a 2" lift while improving the suspension of the mule. The kit replaces the front coils, increasing the non cab model spring rate by 15% and the cab model by 35%. Spacers for the struts complete the front lift. The rear lift is achieved using extended length shackles which provide extra clearance.
The improvement allows a greater load limit than without the enhancement. Since the overall load capabilities have improved, the work capabilities for this machine have improved proportionally.
ATV Lift Kit used: Honda Lift Systems : Applies on: TRX350 -'00-'04, TRX400 AT '04-'05, TRX400 '91-'93, TRX450 '98-'05, TRX500 '02-'05, TRX650 '03-‘04
This 2 inch lift system enhances the ATV's handling, performance and stability by making modifications to the stock geometry. The design will be a large factor in stabilizing the ATV suspension and making it more sure footed over rough terrain.
This installation allows more stability in rough terrain. If used together with large and wide set of tires, you can be assured that your ride will be more comfortable.
