Shock Springs reversed

Earlier today I was adjusting the preload on the shocks on my 2013 Renegade 1000 and I noticed something odd. The rear springs were mounted on the front shocks, and the front springs mounted on the rear shocks! I noticed the part numbers called out in the service manual and sure enough mine were reversed. So I unbolted all 4 shocks and switched around the springs now the front’s a lot softer and the rear is stiffer. I haven’t began to set the preload yet since it never was right to begin with. Just wondering if anyone else has ever noticed anything like this on their quads?

Recommendation for Upgraded Battery – Please

I need to replace my stock battery in my 2011 Rancher 420.

I use my ATV to plow with a full setup from Warn, including the rotating pivot.

I also have a set of LED lights I use when plowing in the evening.

I am looking for the biggest and strongest battery that will fit into the battery compartment on my ATV. I want something that I can support the plow and the lights to be used at the same time…..without the lights dimming every time I use the winch.

Can someone give me a solid recommendation? I am looking for a recommendation with a specific model number.

Thanks in advance!

07 Sprotsman x 2

Does anyone know where to find a used muffler for a 2007 800 sportsman x2. A previous owner replace it with a Aaen aftermarket. It is a little noisy for me I like the mostly quite ride while in the woods. If any one knows where I can get one or if someone would like to trade for it Im all in. I can get a new one but I guess since its an x2 they want a lot more for it. Thanks
