The good is more articulation. The bad is very unstable. Gas it from a dead stop and you can pull one front tire off the ground. Gas it while turning sharp and become very intamate with the ground real quick.

If you have a lift and VERY stiff suspension, you'll notice no difference at all. Much easier to clean and work on the bike.

3" Pucks up front...14" EPI's out back. I did take my sway bar off my Brute Force to help it articulate because it's so top heavy. My Polaris feels a little better balanced so I left it on.

IT DOESNT MATTER TO ME WHAT BRAND AS LONG AS THERE STIFF. I WAS LOOKING INTO THE RANGER SPRINGS CAUSE THEY ALREADY COME IN RED, AND WOULD MATCH WHAT I HAVE

Very true.  I had a progressive spring kit on my 700 and removed the sway bar.  I never noticed it either.
