| Got the rzr cleaned up from the last ride.. ordered a better main skid plate, but now I want to give it more height.
I will stay with the factory size tires (Big Horn 25's) as I need to stay within 50" to run the trails here locally. I can't use spacers, so I need to stay with those tires..
what lift kit do you recommend? Which one won't cause any CV bind or issues, and will give me the best ride?
Please let me know
thanks Gunpiot | |

| I have the 3" roctech lift kit...it actually gives you 2" from the bottom of the skid plate to the ground and 1" in the fenderwell | |

| Bubba, am I correct in you have to relocate your radiator overflow tank with the roktek, or was that your new shocks?? Also, did you use any limiting straps? | |

| Thanks Bubba...
next question.. Does the Roktek change the angle enough I would have to run spacers to prevent wheel motor mount rub? | |

| I had the same Roktek lift kit before my SuperATV springs. Cheap, gets the job done, reinforces the shock mounting points. Just IMHO, change your springs. You don't need a lift kit. Shocks still suck though. | |

| Are these lift kits relatively easy to install yourself? |

| Very Simple. Even Tarheels can figure it out. Not sure ETSU's can do it though. javascript:emoticonp(' ![Yahoo!](/users/1913/21/04/90/smiles/131395.gif) ') I had an after-market exhaust that I had to change the layout to accept. | |

| for the reg. rzr i would go with the super atv or the roktek lift.
i had the superatv lift on my LE and it was a great lift. very strong and it can lift 1.5 or 3 inchs. the one i had on mine has survived on 2 totaled rzrs with no damge. |

| I have this one from Sand Spectrums http://goracertech.com/index.php?cPath=14 I liked the design of it and it did not appear to change the geometry of the suspension. The only downside to it was you have to drill holes through the frame on the rear and align those holes on both sides of the frame tube. A lot of the kits changed to angle of the springs. This kit actually moves the shock mounting point and ties everything together. | |
