Small lift kit 1" or so.
You can get heavier springs for up front.
Sorry I dont have a listing for the 05 and up for the springs. Don't use those rubber spacers that polaris sells for a small lift when using the snow plow. POS.

Yea very easy. Something I don't see when other people make there own they just finish the spring end flat or straight, I would add a small cup for the springs to set in. along with a nice chamfer on the other end so when cleaning no sharp edges to cut your hands along with looking better.
Something else to think about is you can put a spacer down in the strut mounting tube like 3/4" this way you will still have full strut stroke.
