New General added 7" of Lift

Just got the new General Friday. Super ATV Front A-Arms, and 3" Bracket Lift with 32" Intimidators. I like how it turned out so far. All mods bolted on as instructed. Ride is awesome and no rubbing.

Were you able to keep the stock axels with no binding?

Cfrazi3d CONGRATS!!

Did a little riding today with the new additions. Mainly hitting off camber ruts and bumps to test the travel. Apparently SuperAtv didn't test this with the Blue General. Because the standard shocks have the springs placed higher up than the Fox shocks on the Orange there is a little contact with the spring and the cross brace (in picture) under the hood. Doesn't really cause an issue, but it doesn't touch and you can hear a ding when suspension is compressed. I intend to contact SuperATV about this.

I also would suggest doing a front end alignment after the installing the A-arms. Mine was out of whack after adjusting the Camber and Caster. I adjusted to 1/4" Toe In and drive like a dream now.

Did the lift give you two options for the shock mount one being 2" and the other 3". Just wonderin thought I read that not that it would make much diff. I thought they were a bit fast on comin out with a lift, the true test is when they let it out to the public and without extensive testing, these things happen time will tell. Your ride looks great.

 

[Cfrazi3d]

Thanks! No there was no additional shock mounting options on the lift. If the front shock mount was 3/4 to 1" lower there would be no contact on the brace. IMO and measurements.

Anybody know what the largest size tire you can run on a stock general is?

i have 30" Rocktanes. I felt them barely rub only one time as I was crossing a ditch at a 45 degree angle. I wouldnt want to go any bigger without a lift or forward A-arms.

Very nice do you have a pic of the front?

 

[ptut42]

ya i saw their lift but went with the s3 lift didnt like the brackets in the back as much as the spacer s3 uses and still rides like a Cadillac i have a arms coming in this weekend

 

[ptut42]

could you flip the shock so it wouldnt make contact on the top

 

[ptut42]

also confused as to why you call it a 7" lift

 

[Cfrazi3d]

i got a total of 7 inches with the lift, a arms, and tires. Talked to S3 before I bought the Super Atv a-arms and couldn't see spending 3X as much from them on the A-arms.

OK so I just talked to the guys at SuperAtv about the lift issue. First those guys have been very transparent on the issue and have offered options for the fix and will be updating the website to be transparent. They are re-designing the front brackets to accommodate the stock shocks vs. the Fox shocks. I would definitely buy the lift for the Orange General. They will be sending me the re-designed bracket upon completion. As I said before it appears the shock hitting the cross brace is not a critical issue, but it does hit. See pics below.

May do that if it becomes an issue.
