Rear end lift kit....?
Does anyone know of a lift kit that was made or would fit a 1983 Polaris Indy Trail? Because mine is so low it's not even funny... I am thinking about putting neon under it and with the ride highth NOW, I would be affraid to do it...
Oh, and the thing takes bumps TERRIBLY... Just wondering if there would be such a thing.. Thanks

Replace your springs, or upgrade it to a newer suspension.

It looks like you not on the lowest mounting holes yet.
Other than that,bolt in a mid 90's suspention for around $300(new front mounting hole.)

yep, either overhaul whats in there now or upgrade it. personally, i'd upgrade. when the suspension in my phazer starts to sag it will get thrown out and a newer one put in. wont be for a while yet, when i bought the thing the previous owner said the skid was overhauled 2 seasons before. performs like it so i'll take his word for it.
i'd try and find an xtra-10 skid on ebay or something from a late 90's polaris for yours.

craigslist is great too. depending on where you live.. you can find good deals. I got a xtra-10 out of a 99 for 75 bucks in excellent shape. the process of putting them in isn't hard either, just requires a little time.

The only issue you would have by going to the X10 is the front suspension will now be Way off in camber and may not steer as well!
