This cost me around 10 dollars to make (a savings
of $80).
It took about 2 hours to make it due to trial and error.
This idea works for the Rubicon & 450
Make your own
Note: "This is for a Rubicon Only, Other ATV's may require other modifications
and or parts"
ATV's with CV boot guards may experience difficulties
Supplies Needed:
4ft of 3/16" thick by 1" steel
4 - 2", 3/8" Hex-bolts
4 - 3/8" lock nuts
4 - 1" spacers
2 - U bolts
I started out by cutting 8 pieces 2.5in long and drilling 2 holes in each 1.5" apart from center to center. these peace's will be used as the lift. (pic 1)
Front lift
I had to cut 2 braces for the front lift 1 for each side (this keeps the lift
angled with the shocks) These 2 pieces were 4.5" long and had 3 holes, one
hole was 3/4" from the top the other two where 1/5" and 1&6/8" from
the bottom. (pic 2)
After unbolting the front shocks at the A arms I used the 2 lift pieces and
the 1" spacer and put that together on the A arm bracket, then i took one
of the the braces and the U bolts and bolted it to the A-arm then bolted the
lifts, brace, and shock together using one 3/8" Hex-bolt and lock nut (pic
3,4,5)
Now align the lift and the brace with the shock and tighten all the bolts
up.
Repeat for the other front side.
Rear lift
The rear requires 2 additional braces of different lengths
the left brace is 3" long with holes 1&3/4" apart the right brace is 5&1/2"
long with holes 4&1/4" apart Both rear braces require bending to allow
them to attach to the frame. After unbolting the rear shocks i bolted 2 lift
pieces and one 1" spacer to each bracket. Then i bolted the braces and the
shocks to the lift pieces using one 3/8" Hex-bolt one each side then bolted
the braces to the frame of the ATV using the factory bolts on the frame. These
braces were bolted in different spots on each side. (pic 6,7,8,
9, 10)
