Sounds good, I have always wanted to give mine a 1" or 1.5"lift was worried about the Puma props. I was told you can't lift Pumas without wear issues. Have I been misinformed? Someone told me I could put HD LR spings on mine to give a 1" lift but when I went to the dealers they said it was already fitted from the factory.


I've just put some Disco HD springs on mine, its given it about a 2" lift no problem with the props or any vibration Thumbs Up NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY. NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE ANYWAY

Been really wanting to put a 1" lift on mine but have been too scared. Think I may risk it now unless anyone has had really bad results.

I have done over 60k in the two Pumas and both have 2" OME lifts, with no problems. You can get wide angle props that allow the UJ to operate at yep a wider angle. However on close inspection comparing the standard one with the wide angle one the only difference is the wide angle prop has been ground down in 4 places on each UJ. TBH I cant see why you could not grind the standard props and make them wide angle ones.

They are looking more bling in those pictures than they did on the weekend (If at all possible!!!). Anyhow for everyone else I got a quick picture of Steve a few hours after fitting whilst laining in Strata Florida.
