Grizzly 660 Lift Kit

[Fastas]

I found this video on installing a Highlifter 2 inch bracket lift on a Grizzly 660. The bracket lift in itself is a very simple way to lift a quad with out putting to much of a strain on the axles. One thing i didnt know form watching the vid was flipping the hubs with the large side on top, not sure how this gives it lift. maybe helmut can explain this to us. Does this work with the 700 models as well, or just the 660's. Well here is the video hope you learn as much as i did.

Yep, I can explain that. The reason flipping the rear knuckles gives you about a 1/2 inch lift, is because the axles don't go through the exact center of the knuckle, they're offset to above the center. When you flip the knuckles, the axle and hubs will sit about 1/2 inch lower (in relation to the knuckle) and this will give you the 1/2 inch lift. See the picture below and you can see why that is.

And I'm not sure whether or not this will work on the 700s, but I don't think it will because the brake calipers are bolted to the knuckles on the 700 and if you flipped the knuckles, you would have to flip the brake caliper upside down. The 660 doesn't have that issue because the 660 has the brake on the rear driveshaft and not at each rear wheel.
