RZR LE shock adjustment

Im sure this has been talked before but I couldnt seem to find anything with a search. I have had my RZR LE now since May 2010 and noticed the shocks were set on the lowest/softest setting from the factory. Im in the middle of my winch install and thought about adjusting the shocks to see what difference it will make on the trail. I was also thinking I might need to stiffen the front due to the extra weight of the winch.

What settings are you using for the front and rear? Does it depend on the terrain? Does it make more sense to have the front stiffer than the rear? Any thoughts, advise or comments are welcome as usual. Thanks in advance.

Just set them in the middle and try that first

stock springs sag bigtime. so it all depends on how soft u like the ride and the hight u want. on the LE i had i had highlifter springs and ran them one notch down from the top.

Same shocks, but different springs on them? Were they better? Where did you get them?

Does the RZR LE have the same shocks and springs as the standard RZR? If so they are terrible. I had my preload adjusted all the way up on the front. They only lasted about 600 miles before I started bottoming out on everything. Not to mention I destroyed the rubber bump stops on both front shocks. Best case is to replace both shocks or at least the springs.

highlifter.com they are stiffer springs. superatv.com also sells a set like the highlifter ones. they was several of use that used the highlifter springs but most have got an S or went with the shocks wvhotrodrhino sells.
i like them much better than stock. my stock ones sagged bad at 300miles and even tightened up all the way they still bottomed out all the time.

I almost just replaced my springs and was looking at the makin trax springs. I decided to buy new shocks instead. I got the Progressive 425H/D shocks on the front and rear. They have performed very well. I have 2300 miles on them now and they are still going strong. I know some of the guys don't like them but they have been good to me and were so much better than stock that it was unreal. I no longer bottom out even when I jump.
