You can get a set of HD springs from Polaris for $150

The only set they show is 405,77 degree, is that the right one for someone that weighs 250?

ask for the 3.75's

Thats what I have and I weigh in at 245 lbs gear and all....

I go 250 lbs. naked (now try and get that image out of your head). I use the .405 size on my switchback. You can always back off on the preload setting. I run mine in the middle and top setting according to load. I have a tunnel bag on the back that sometimes has 20 lbs. in it.

Ok.....I'm 205 naked(with alot of back hair)
Sled will bottom out sometimes, I carry a 2.5 gallon gas can and a lunch bag(a couple growlers) on my tunnel. I have the blocks cranked up all the way.
Was thinkin of going to the .375s but worried about to much spring rebound off a drop. Is this a concern?
I ride a 05 900 151 50th with stock rear shocks.
Was also thinking of going to the heavier front spring from Carl's.
Does somebody have some input on whats the best way to go here.
Thanks,
Lance

I'm also in the market for some heavy springs for an edge. I was thinking i'd go with .405 since i'm arould 215lbs. Does this sound right or are .375s enough.
I don't mean to highjack this thread or anything. Pretty much same question as AKLance.

.375 is the largest spring to fit any polaris longer than 136. The .405 fit the short trackers only, the angle is way different try these maybe work for you http://startinglineproducts.com/catalog.cfm?pageID=detail&catalogID=3&catID=47&productID=1124

I think my question is answered, I'm ordering the .375 spring and the adjuster block. Thanks guy's!

Make sure you get the right springs 7041943-067 and 7041942-067

What brand is this part# for? The one I have from Polaris is 2900097.
The Polaris part numbers for the .375 that my dealer installed are the 7041942-067 and 7041943-067.

Hey man I made a mistake they do make .405 for your sled now. But I think the .375 with the clickers would work well for you!!!!

Who makes this? Polaris?

Springs
Last season I tried to get stiffer springs for my 08 dragon switchback 136, and I was told that it came with the stiffest available. They list 3 different sets but the other 2 sets are softer.. This did not make sense. You would think that they have a stiffer set.. Im 250lbs.

Make sure you have a shock that is set up for your weight or you will still bottom out at times. the spring and shock work together not alone.

Measure the spring yourself and then you will know what you have. I don't think it will measure with a ruler, a
micrometer or a vernier is the tool to use. I haven't seen part numbers on my springs to compare. I would think you could borrow one from a gas station or similar shop if your sled dealer was testy.

I've had .405 90° springs on my longtrack sleds since 04/05.
They work awesome for any rider thats 300+.
As for anyone under 280 pounds, doing just normal mountain riding, I would go with the .375 90°. If you like doing jumps and want the added "safety margin" then I would suggest the .405 77°.

Talked to my dealer today about the.405 and he talked to a tech at Polaris and said .375 is the stiffest spring available for a 08 800 Dragon 163.
