Has anyone on here lifted an older model sportsman 400L 4×4? I purchased a 1994 sportsman 400 4X4 and I am looking for maybe 1-2" of lift. Everywhere I read, people are lifting 2000+ sportsmans that no longer have the chain driven rear axle. All those posts discuss how the lifts break the CV joints and what not.

When lifting a sportsman 4×4 in the 90-97 year range, is the CV joint angle an issue with a 2" spacer lift? How is the rear lifted since it is chain driven, and does the lift affect anything with the chain and how it operates?

Either that or I I am thinking about adding some spacers to stiffen the springs a little bit. Do spacers put the CV joints at the same risk of damage as the lift kits? Do the spacers get installed at the top, or the bottom of the spring?

does anyone have any pictures of their machine in this year range that is lifted? Specifically the rear lift bracket, or the front lift spacers?

Thanks.
