Dragon torsion springs?

[polarisdragon800]

I am looking for a set of heavier torsion springs for my dragon. I just got all my shocks recharged and the sled still sags pretty bad in the back end, constantly bottoms out on rough trials. I weigh maybe 170 with all my gear on. I just want the heavier spring so it's less prone to softening up again.

Use these ones. They work great.

Part numbers
7042079-067 Spring, Torsion, LH, STD [.375/47 °]
7042080-067 Spring, Torsion, RH, STD [.375/47 °]

They have a tighter angle on them which increases the preload. I put them on my wifes IQ and my buddys 09 D8 and both now have zero sag. The iq has about 6" more suspension now too.

Cycle works quoted me $100/ea for the .375 springs, please post if you find a better deal. Considering the cost I'm almost tempted to order Titanium ones from RCS.

Hmm. Is their any aftermarket brands or are the Polaris ones the way?

Only aftermarket I'm aware of is RCS titanium but they're $700 suggested list At other end of the spectrum I've heard of guys just putting a bend in the tails of the stock springs to give them more preload when installed, same idea as going from the 77d to 47d angle.

So just pull the springs off and put them in the vice and bend em? How much of a bend. Cause it would trench less if the back
End would stay up.

I put heavier springs on my 08' Dragon, and they work well. I ordered the Polaris 2-up model springs, as they are beefier than the stock springs and will fit on the Dragon.

How much did it cost you? And did you find it trenches less when the back end stays up
Like it should?

Stiffer springs will chainsaw into the snow causing deeper trenches.

So
It's better to let it sag some?

Buy the ones in post #2.
They will fix the sag issue but will not stiffen the spring rate. They will work perfect for a 170 rider. I'm 215 and have ran them for two seasons and they work spot on.

So with these springs will the shock be fully extended when you get off the sled? And do you notice that I handles any differently?

Anyone find a better deal?
