Any help would be appreciated

Andrew.

Use the search. Lots of good stuff.
They lift heavy loads in that they don't squat so much, but they are stock height. They are stiffer than stock.

On my king quad they gained me about an inch, thats because the kings are known for a bit of spring sag. I ride with a passenger or a rear box sometimes and the hl springs worked amazing. They are stiff but if you carry a passenger or have a plow mounted on the front they are a must, I think!

my roommate has them on his brute and they help out alot. If you do alot of mud riding they will help mantain the stock ride height with the added wieght of the mud. And they gave his bike about an 1/8inch lift

If you have an 03 model, your springs have already sagged. You have more than likely lost somewhere around 1 inch of frame clearance to the ground.

How are springs going to change frame clearance to the ground? Unless I'm missing something, the only thing that's going to increase his frame clearance is taller tires.

I installed HL Springs on my 2006 Rubicon. The springs worked great and removed the sag but they seemed to squeak quite a bit.

When the springs sag you loose frame to ground clearence. The HL springs restore that sag and return the shocks to their fully extended height just like the stock springs did before they were worn. I know my stock springs sag about 1 1/2 inches. By putting HL on it would in theory give me my 1 1/2 inches back thus "lifting" the quad.
