2014 midsize ranger 570-i have put fortress steel roof, fortress steel back sliding glass, and fortress front steel sliding glass. all this is pretty good weight. i weigh 280 and partner is 185. have added 45lbs seat in back. looking to add pvc spacers to preload the springs and bring ride height back. am i looking at 1, 1 1/2, or 2 in high pvc spacers for this rig. thanks in advance

I would start at 1.75" spacers being you have so much weight on the buggy. Hell you might wanna start at 2" long spacer. Also it's better to use 2" pvc couplings. They are thicker and stronger.

Yah, your 570 has same struts as my midsize 800. (the 400/500 had different part numbers for some reason?) Get yourself some 2" pvc couplers. a stick of 2" pipe, and a stick of 1-1/2 DWV pipe and then find my thread i made about lifts. That oughta give ya a good starting point. Its easy in the front and cheap. The back is a little tougher if ya aint got any good tools or a spring compressor but it can be done!

Or a 2in lift

 

[littlebigrancher]

Yeah wes a lift will work but he needs more spring rate with the extra weight

So the" ID" of the spacer needs to be 2" is the what the high lifter lifts measure i wanna make one to get a lil more also

 

[littlebigrancher]

Yes 2" ID is what we run. Works out great
