| I just put racer tech springs on my sach shocks. The front went up 2". The back up 2 1/2". Showed how much spring sag I had. Still got to put the lift on. Be looking for some bigger tires soon. Any suggestions on size and type? | |

| just be careful you don't get cv bind when you do the lift. what type riding do you do?
unless you're a mudder, go with 26" or 27" | |

| Ride the wagon wheel a lot. So a lot of mud riding. I got the spring and lift package. I put the springs on first. Not got to the lift yet. Just alittle surprised how much it went up. 2000 miles on old springs, and they were saging pretty bad. I would like to find a used set of wheels to put mud tires on. Don't want to run them all the time. A lot of good mountain riding close by. Wouldn't get much wear out of them | |

| wow there are so may tire options now. I like 6 ply bias tires but I had reptile radials I loved on my Grizzly. bighorns are popular, Keeter likes dirt commanders which are standard on new rzr's now. | |

| For regular trails, i like the look of the rip saws. I just heard some bad revews on them. For mud, probably some silverbacks. These are what I've been looking at. | |

| Roger....for what it's worth, I personally don't like big ol tires. Adding all that weight to the corners really hurts the driveline in my opinion. When I look at tires I look at a good tough set but with the least amount of weight. Heavy ol tires wears on these machines pretty hard from what I have seen. |

| I agree with TBone. Lugs are the weight of a tire. Unavoidable on a true mud tire. Ripsaws go good but they are heavy. I don't know much to tell you about mud tires. | |

| I had a set of dirt commanders on my 800 and loved them... Tough as nails... And I also like my roctAnes that are on my 900(yes one of th had Avery slow leak around the bead) but they have held up great and go pretty good in all Riding conditions | |

Are you running the stock "Sachs" shocks or Fox Podiums, Walker Evans on your RZR S 800? If your running the sachs shocks, I can pretty guarantee you that those shocks are all used up after 2000 miles. The Racertech springs are really good, but they are a "bandaid". The first hour or two of riding, they are okay. But after a few hours, the oil/fluid inside of the shock breaks down and will make it ride like crap. I can speak of this through my own experience with mine, except I used King progressive springs. I would only buy mud tires if your specifically gonna ride in mud all day long. Been going to WV since 06, and had various sets of tires and the super aggressive mud tires, like Outlaws and Silverbacks are absolutely the worst kinda tire to have up there. Hands down, tires like Big Horns, Roctanes, Evolutions are still the best type for them trails up there....Just my opinion:thumbs up: | |
