You may also want to look at the Highlifter springs, I replaced my stock ones last year with these, got rid if the sag and gave me another 1-1 1/2" of lift. They were under $200 with the shipping through ebay.

$200 for just the springs? was it much work to change them all?

I have mine off right now to replace the bump stops. i just clamped the bottom mount in a vise. one hook of load binder on one side. wrap the strap under the bottom mount and attach to other side of spring and sinch up until you can get the retainer out. (just clamp the hooks so they can't slide) releaseing the spring is a little scary:eek: but works good

Nope, I used ratchet straps, you could probably bring them into a shop and have them do it in a couple minutes with a spring compressor.

I think these are the same ones I bought, looks like the price went up a little bit, still well worth the money.

That lift kit is a copy of the original ROKTECH lift which is a very good lift . Unless you are doing alot of high speed riding the front sway bar does more harm than good. If you ride mud or knarly terrain you have way more articulation (traction) with the bar off.
The highlifter springs are a great addition and worth every penny, if your springs have sagged ,which happens very fast it will feel like a new machine with the lift and springs.

The aluminum spring spacers are a short term fix for soft springs, and will kill whatever spring you have left. Plus they decrease the amount of available travel in the shock.

Bang for the buck ? Springs(highlifter/EPI) and a UPPER LIFT kit work wonders with these machines. All you gain on most of them is about 2 inchs,not 3 and if there is one that lifts 3 inchs your axles wil bind....

On the RZR it`s more about geting rid of the sag than the lift and still keeping FULL range of travel.....IMO

Technical no because they are not changing your shock location,if your springs have sagged a fair bit they will give you that "Original" hieght which is pretty low in a non S....

Not to start anything but the stock rzr is 10" vs the s at 12.5", the stock comes with 25" tires vs 27" on the s so the real difference is only 1.5". Just trying to justify my "Lil" rzr. :d

Ohh , i agree with you . And the S saggs a little too. With the longer A arms and better shocks though you can crank a S up about 4 inchs if you want to.You can easily run 30`s on a s with just the shocks cranked up where as on a reg the adj. is not much.
Here is my S with shocks cranked past half way , a" Modified "2 inch and 30 inch zilla`s. That is about 19.5 inchs GC with no load.

Its seems to work very good so far. Just over 2 inch lift, no CV bind and it drives way better when rideing it hard. :d
