| I ordered a 2" Emp lift kit for my rzr s and my question is will change my wheel camber and if it does is there going to adjusting to do on it? | |

| Camber is not adjustable, and it shouldn't affect it. It may change you toe at ride height, so you might have to check it. I'm still on the fence about this mod. Let us know what you think of it. | |

| I put one on my rzr4 and i really like the lift. i haven't had any binding issues plus it keeps me from dragging on everything. | |

| I know that a lift will firm up the ride some because of tire scrub, but I think with all the adjustability of the fox shocks it would be ok. | |

| I got my lift on last week on my rzr s and it`s really up now. I measured from the groung to the bottom of the rzr and have 15" under it now. The thing is it`s stiffer now. I`m a lil worried about it being to stiff. I havent got to ride it yet with it on I was on my way to ride Saturday and had truck problems so I had to turn around and go back home. Another thing is my rzr s is a base S without the fox shocks so I cant adjust the crapy shocks as much. I was a dumb ass and didn`t get the Le with the fox shocks but thats all I could afford at the time, but if I could do it again I would have got the LE. I`ll post some pics tonight when I get home. | |

| The more vertical a shock is mounted, the more effective it is. (stiffer) all of the lifts out there move the top mounting point out, making the shock more straight up and down. Just a few degrees makes a huge difference. Seems like I've posted this somewhere before... or maybe I'm losing my mind? Anyway, I haven't got a lift yet because I'm afraid when I soften the springs/shocks enough to get my ride back, that I will be back near the ride height I have now. | |

| i had to do something because i was always dragging the bottom. plus the rzr4 has that crappy cross member that joins the front and rear skid. needless to say, its been pulled off a couple of times. I noticed a huge difference right away. things i used to drag on are no problem now. | |

| Up and down motion as the tire goes up the tire pushes out causing scrub. If u had a can am u wouldn't have that problem. |

Hump...the lift that I put on bolts to the top control arm...it actually puts more angle in the shocks in return makes it ride softer...that is why I went with this type of lift. I took it out yesturday and jumped it and abused it and it done real well. | |
