I would not add a bracket lift to the rear if thats what you are asking about. You will have problems with the axles popping out. All you can do is a pipe lift on the rear to eliminate the sag.

I put on a 2" HL lift kit and basically it is a 2" spacer (pipe lift) on the rear shock and I have not had any issues so far in about 10 hrs use, it it helps.

Agreed. I have a 2" on the front and a pipe lift all the way around and have had zero issues.

WIth just the lift in the front and the pipe lift in the back, does the front look a lot higher than the rear? Does anybody have pics of this setup?

2" difference in GC front to rear:

i've got a 1.25" bracket lift in the front (custom made) and works shocks all around. the GC is nice in the front, but i'd like an inch or two more in the rear.

i have a pipe lift in the front to help a little it sags bad without them so bad that the 29.5's hit the headlight bucket and almost tore of my front grill the pipe lift helps but it still hits when turning ond hitting a bump at the same time i want to go as tall as i can without any trouble i may use the vid from MR.CAN-AM JOHN CANNON he used some small angle to make a bracket lift for the front he really knows these bikes

yeah, john made a good video of making your own brackets. it will definitely help in the front. i just wish we could do something like that for the rear

i made a solid aluminum bracket for mine:

so the pipe couplers all the way around won't lift the bike it just gets rid of the sag in the spring. But if I put the pipe couplers all the way around the rear axles won't pop out of the diff either. Is this correct.

yup. the pipe lift just preloads the springs more, which will give you more GC, but a rougher ride. you might want to check out the HL springs. they don't sag and ride nice, from what i've heard.

the only way to get more lift in the rear is longer rear axles. the only problem is the rear tires will get closer to the rear foot well.

What size are the pipe couplers. I was looking at my shock and thought it was about 1.5" am I right. Thanks. I just bought my 800 outlander a week ago and I got tires and wheels coming and want to go ahead and stiffen the springs up before they get here.

yeah they are the 1.5" couplers. if your rear shocks aren't very worn out, i would suggest cutting one in half and putting that in the rear before doing a full pipe lift in the rear. my '07 only needed half a pipe lift in the rear to fully extend the shocks. its the fronts that usually sag the most and need the full pipe lift.
