So the stock Suspension is stiff as hell and hunting roads sucks. Particularly for my rig as I have removed as much weight as possible for the snow tracks.
So I am going to update the suspension and install a kit to put Camso tracks on the machine for the winter. I am using the sidekick to replace an argo. The argo was just toooooo bumpy as it had NO suspension at all.
I am going to try and update this thread with progress on installing the following"
ATVTracks.net install kit for Camso tracks on tracker.
Airbagit kit to replace coils with airbag suspension springs with compressor and pump and controls at dash. This should allow for adjustable ride height and spring rate for different loads and road conditions.
New front radiator. the radiator in the rig had an aftermarket electric fan that was held in with plastic through radiator mounts. After this weeks hunt they rubbed a small hole in the radiator. will replace with brackets for the fan. Worried that without a shroud the fan will not cool enough but there is no shroud anywhere for an electric fan for this rig and the engine fan and shroud are long gone.
Other things that I will end up having to do to make the above work. may need to replace front strut or a arms to provide more travel for front suspension as the bags technically could travel more than the stock springs if I want them to.
Let the games begin.
