Thats nice but we need to "see" these mods. Get out the camera
2014 XUV 825i power steering camo--Black sport wheels and Bighorns, front and rear protection packages, ops roof, long range lights, deluxe signal and parking lights, mid range lights, sport seats and doors.
2012 RSX 850i camo--3500 lb Summit winch, sport wheel, ops roof, bed rails and more.
I lifted the Gator because I use it to fill our feeders here in the TX Hill Country. It take about 6500# of corn to fill our feeders and so I like to be able to put about 1K to 1.5K lbs. on the Gator for each load. That leads to the skid plate smacking a few rocks, or it did, now it doesn't hit anything.
For the lift, I made some spacers that ended up being 1 3/8". I compressed the springs and installed the spacers - lifted.
The lights are little green LED ribbons I picked up from Auto Zone for about $20. I installed them on a separate circuit with their own switch I picked up from Ace Hardware for about $8.

Usually coil spacers yield almost twice the lift of their thickness if I remember right...on the Gator it was a one to one ratio? So if I wanted a 2" lift I would actually make a 2" spacer?
How do your CV shaft angles look? Close to straight?
No it's not 1 : 1. The spacers are 1 3/8" and it lifted the rear-end 2 1/4" with the preloads set to min. at both measurements. The CV shafts are at a slight angle still.
