Okay so maybe they will break in a bit, but at 225lbs and on the second to softest setting I think my Grizzly rides fine. I cant see loading the racks, and or pulling that much to warrant stiffining up the shocks much more. True I havent had all four wheels airborne but thats what my Warrior is for. I cant imagine a lighter person liking the lack of downward adjustment. Perhaps there is not much of a negative effect if I crank up on the springs? The ride is in the shop, just trying to kill time with these thoughts. So what do you guys think?
 

What I have found is that the front end dives down to easy when transitioning from a hill to flat ground or when coming down off of obstacles in rough terrain and causing the front to bottom out. I have some nasty hits to my front skid plate because of this and run my front shocks one notch tighter than my rear.

After installing the Xtreme lift the ride stiffened up allot and I went back one notch in the rear to the second softest but left the front in the middle position. I may change the front to equal the rear and see what I think of it with the lift. BTW the Xtreme lift only lifted the machine 1â€￾ so it isn’t so extreme.
