So there isn't really much to these kits.  A feller with some average skills could just make a kit.  Thanks for posting, especially the pics.  Gives me some great ideas.  I'd be happy with 13" ground clearance with a much softer shock setting.

Yes they are about as simple as it gets.

Would you be willing to post a pic of your front and rear suspension?  Something taken from the rear which shows both sides of the suspension, as much of the shocks (would like to see the load on your springs) that you can get in the pic and angle of the control arms?  Same thing from the front?  If you would be so kind.     I'm trying to get something to start the thought process on building some lift kit brackets.  Thank you in advance.

I can try. The front might be an issue because the plow is on it and that isn't coming off until spring

That's cool about the front.  I don't want to inconvenience you at all.  I'll take what I can get.

Any reason why it wouldn't be easier to make brackets for the upper mount as opposed to putting them on the a-arms?  The rear it just looks easier to fab something up with some square tubing.

I've heard..its better to install the rear lift brackets on the top anyway. Something about wheel and shock clearance on some...or something like that.

I'm assuming you want to keep the geometry the same, meaning, keeping a straight line from the upper mount to the a-arm mount.

So here's what the back looks like with the SuperATV a-arms.  Ground clearance is about 12".  Those shocks are pre-loaded almost all the way down.  Believe I will make some lift brackets for the rear to go in the upper mount, then I'm going to take a bunch of that pre-load off.  The rear on this thing is super stiff.  I'm a little over 200lbs, if I jump up and down on the rear receiver area, the rear suspension barely compresses.

Looks good.

Here's what I came up with.  Mocked up and installed.  From eye hole to eye hole about a 2" drop.  Had to take all the load off the spring to get it installed.  No final paint, yet.  Wanted to ride it for a bit and make sure these are good.  I took quite a bit of pre-load off the spring and right now sits exactly at the same height as before.  Much softer, though.  Maybe too soft.
