Can i get any opinions on the HMF swamp series exhaust system? looking to buy it for my 2015 sportsman 850sp just to give it a little better sound and maybe some tuning later.

Hey guys,
Newbie here.
From Rhode Island, land of nowhere to ride. Luckily I have some friends with property in the northern part of the state. I’m a rigger and printing press mechanic by trade. Been fortunate to travel the country for work. Which is both a blessing and a curse.
I own a 2000 Polaris Scrambler 500 4×4. It’s my second scrambler.
I previously had a 2000 Scrambler 400 2X4. Really enjoy them both.
I’ve owned the 500 for about 6 months. Had to tackle some minor issues along the way. Had to install a new cam a few months back since the exhaust lobes on my stock cam became non existent.
I figured I may as well join a community of owners so I can read and learn. And post if need be, to pick everyone’s brain .
So I’ll end with a question. As previously stated, I have a 2000 Scrambler 500 4X4. I’m a big guy, 6’3 350 pounds. My rear spring isn’t cutting it any more. Even with the spring adjusted all the way compressed I still obviously compress the hell out of it. Though it still rides ok. I want to purchase a spring that keeps my ride height without compressing, or if it doesn’t compress at least not as much. Aftermarket stuff is very limited. I haven’t found many HD springs. And what I did find is only rated for about 220 pounds. I’m wondering if I can find a spring off a larger polaris ATV/ side by side that I could swap in to solve my problem. I’ve used the search a bit but I haven’t found the info I’m looking for. Any help is appreciated.
Cheers!

Trying to figure out model and year?
I posted this in the Scrambler specific area but am needing some help figuring out the year and model. I’m pretty sure it is a Scrambler but it is missing the VIN Badge. That’s weird I know and noticed after I got it home. Here are some photos of it

06 Rancher 350ES 2X4 – Diaphragm
I got a 06 Rancher 350ES 2X4 & I am looking for some help. I had my carb rebuilt by a jack-leg last year and I believe he put a diaphragm in there that is too big. Both the Bowl Gasket and Diaphragm are a good 1/8-1/4" to big in circumference. I finally got the bowl gasket to seat but I cant get the diaphragm to seat without folding it. Sorry I am a virgin to carb rebuilding and any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Help! What model and year!?
Hey there I just picked this guy up yesterday for 140.00 and it seems someone got it all apart and didn’t have the patience to put it back together again. I think it is a Scrambler but it does not have a VIN badge (shady). I attached pictures hoping all of you can help me out. All the pieces are off to the side and I’ll start on it next week.
