I have heard mixed. Some have major problems, others have 0 problems. I would go catvos...but thats just me. I'm a do-it once, do it right kinda person.

I jsut know that the g-teams customer service is sometimes good/bad. I have had nothing but amazing from them though.

I can't stress this enough... CATVOS!!! My buddy put one on his 700 Grizzly and he has had NOTHING BUT TROUBLE out of it. Broke both back axles, 3 tie rods, can't get it to track strait, and it didn't raise his but 5"

catvos is the 1 to buy for sure only problems ive seen is with all of the lift for grizzly 700 where the steering hooks up ....the steering is high were the tie rods hook to the power steering that is th e weak link to the lift maybe the non power steer model would be better for the lift ..

I would HAVE to disagree or just wana do what your doin cause I just rode with a friend to Alabama to buy this bike that boogyman had for sale and it ACTUALLY only has 21" of ground clearance...And thats with 31 x 11's..The lift DOES give a good bit of problems with ball joints and tie rods if you don't work the kinks out on Power Steering models... The 7" G-lift is by no means impressive or a piece of "eye candy" but it works and lifts it up..I'd say if you had a 2" and springs you'd only see a gain of 4 1/2"'s maybe..If you wana do it right and have a little extra $$$ then go CATVOS!!!

The tape measure is messed up if your not on jackstands..Tis bike is in my garage, I mean do I need to take a sad picture? Its true..ANd the tires are 31s, I just don't see you having: A SMALLER TIRE, PROLLY LESS THAN 20 PSI LIKE THESE HAVE, NO LIFT SPRINGS AND HAVE MORE GC..It's not that bigga deal but im just sayin

profl131 it is a good lift, but it's by no means bullet-proof, just as none of em are, And Ok ok..I dont wana argue about ground clearance haha i mean thats pretty bad. But ok.. the ground clearance is not always the same on every bike..lets talk about why the ball joints don't like to stay in onr piece?

The catvos will be between 1000 and 1500 more than the G lift. BUT you get what you pay for!

Well...All I know is that the Gor!la lofts for pretty much anything are JUNK!! Went riding this weekend at the Mud Bogs at timberlanes with a good friend of mine with the 7" monkey lift, and he had NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS...It started out breaking the right rear axle..so we bought a rebuild kit from a guy there and not 2 hours later BOTH rear axles snapped...And I mean were twisted apart. Pay the extra $$$ and save yourself alot of hassles and frustration..go CATVOS

what does a broken axle have to do with a lift not being any good

also which lift do you have? catvos or rilla?

the rilla lifts are a steeper angle, and a narower stance, but if you drive it like you stole it you will break axles on any of em, my lift has been on for a year, I need bearings in my axles now but they have had 30" mlxxls and 29.5s the whole time, I have torn a couple of boots but no axle problems

Catvos all the way, my rilla lift is startin to hold better now but with lots of mods by me working out a lot of parts that weren't designed that good. Save the headache and get the quality. Most guys i've seen with bikes other than the 700 grizz haven't had much trouble out of the rilla's but mine has been junk. It got to the point i didn't even ride it b/c gettin something that big broke out of the woods(when it made it to the woods) is a pain.
