Kandi spyder 200 suspension lift?

[KenC]

I just got my kandi going but I want a little more ground clearance,my thought is to cut off the shock mounts and drop them down to raise the body about and inch or 2.aside from having to realign the front end does anyone see any issues I'll have? I also just ordered a 39 tooth axle sprocket to drop gearing down cause it's slipping the. Let on son of the rough trails,alreadybhas a stage 2 clutch/variator

You could make a bracket to shorten up the bracket length. Or get longer shocks to do same thing. If you find them to have good clearance???

Shocks seem to be in good shape,I have a good mug welder so I figured I'd just cut them off and re-weld.wouldnt cost me anything just time.i was just curious if anyone has already done this

plenty have modded in this manner for more travel or clearance. you need to make sure that your ball joints and tie rod ends will not bind up with the change. jack it up, remove the shocks and cycle the suspension to see what you end up with before chopping anything.

That's what I planned to do,only want to raise it a inch or 2 max

If that doesn't get you there, you could always go with bigger diameter tires, it definitly worked for me! I did have to "massage" the engine, and clutch a little bit, but I'm REALLY happy with the end product!

It has 21" on the front I plan to go to 22" but I don't want to go to large cause I don't want it to steer to hard and I don't want to go any bigger on the back cause even with the 39 tooth axle sprocket I feel like it could have gearimf dropped down a little more.i do mostly trail riding.the little 150cc just doesn't make enough torque
