I had a pipe lift all the way around and the stretch on my gade and the outlander only has a pipe lift on the front with a 2 in stretch in the rear. You can also have different thickness of a pipe lift.... more thickness stiffer the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awful knawful Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Well with stock shocks I had no choice but to baby it or end up in the woods. Understand that part? You have to read ALL the post. Not make it up as you go. It went stock shocks, stage 1s and now Stage 4s. See the progression? Stock tires, now HTRS. Once I put the stage 1s on stock tires lasted a couple rides. There are turns on the trail. Many more than the pin it through the next 100 foot mud bog at 10 kmh.
