Liftin the front end on an 01 summit?

[boondockin]

Does anybody know how i can get the front end up higher on an 01 doo? longer shocks? different shock brackets? i have a 144 skid extended to a 151 via rail extensions, i was going to drop the 151 extension and relocate the skid if i can figure a way to get the front up

move skid back 3.5" down 1" you'll need 4" drop brackets on rear susp mounts.
also make up reinforcing plates for front mount,inside and out.
let out your limiter straps,will let frontend lift out of snow.
i did this to my 01 800 summit works good,skis about 8-10" off snow on a good pull.

Thanks timbo, I'm Thinkin about leaving the 151 extensions on it and putting a 159 on it? would this work or would i need different extensions

The stock tie rods and shocks on a 02 03 summit are 1" 1 1/2" longer giving you a 1 - 2 " rise in the front end of your sled,you just need the 2 shocks,and 4 tie rods fairly easy and then cut off your sway bar that runs through the bottom of the bulkhead.Way more travel with easier sidehillin ,helps suck up the BIG whoops,a little looser on hard packed trails though

Very simple.. Especially if you have an aftermarket front end..

1) Switch the right and left upper shock mount bracket. You will also need to invert them for the switch.. This gives you tons of clearance.

I'm also lookin for a 159 or 162, a set of twins, and an aftermarket secondary
