Do you mean swapping the complete front end (shocks, A-arms, tie rods, etc.)? Which model sportsman? Still, may be beyond my skill level. I do see evidence of the exhaust hitting the frame in two places. Do you recall the length of the Chinese gas shocks? And on the front the grease nipples on the upper A-arms have hit the frame (one actually broke off). Hoping the ~1/2" extra length of the Blaster shocks will eliminate (or reduce) this from happening in the future.
