Well I've only got 100 miles on her but already thinking about it! My question or questions anyone running the super ATV lift kit? is it a bracket lift or just spacers and with a 2inch lift will 29s fit the front looks like would be the only issue and if anyone is running 29s or even bigger any axle trouble?

I lifted mine with a rzr 800 bracket lift and modified it to fit. I run 29 inch dirt commanders. B2 on the clutch and 23g dr pulley sliders.  No issues yet no rubbing and still get 67mph and sounds the tires in low on pavement. I think the super atv one is spacers which is junk don't run that.  If the look like donuts don't waste your money.  Pretty sure someone posted a link to a bracket lift for the 800s now but i found nothing months ago when i did mine.  Mine is an EX not a trail

I wrote super ATV in regards to the high clearance A Arm kits front and rear. It states its for the EX but I emailed them and they told me that these AArms will fit a non EX as well with no modification. That's the way I'm going. Along with some mega meyhem 28 or 29's what's your thoughts? 28's or 29's? I'm re clocking the clutch to B2 as well at the same time. Looking for feedback. On axle trouble or suggestions.
Also snorkeling the CVT/airbox
Seems like my belt slips a lot when I play in the water

see my above post. Keep in mind weight of the tires. I went with the Dirt Commanders because they were 8 ply and were not too overweight. I have 29's, yea I will break an axle before someone with 26's but I just keep it in mind and don't push it if I don't have too. My ground clearance is great and I am still really stable.

The A-arms may bolt up, but you will still need different tie rods, axles, brake lines, sway bar (if you want to keep them) Shocks which is quite a bit of $... unless they are selling a whole kit to change your trail to an EX

They may bolt up...but you would need A WHOLE LOT of other stuff to make it useable.  I dont understand why someone buys a narrow rig and wants to lift it???  A stiff breeze would knock it over.  I have made the post several times before.  If you want a tall rig sell your 50" and buy an EX.  I figured up the general cost on another thread and your looking at almost 4k in just parts to convert.
I can imagine a world completely at peace.  A world where there are no weapons, no war, and no violence at all.  And I can imagine us taking over that world because they would never expect it.

I had the Super ATV 2" lift kit initially......then went to the Smithfield currently. Smith is a bracket type and the SA is the aluminum collar. Both work as advertised the Smith is 3" though.

I'm sorry but the high lift A-arms for the EX will not work with the trail without additional parts. They are much longer arms. Yes they will probably bolt up to the frame... but then you wont have an axle long enough to go into the hub, your brake lines will be too short, your shock wont reach the mount, there is no way it will work unless they sell all the other parts with it. MAYBE they make a high lift A-arm kit for the trail as well but there's no way the same A-arms will bolt up to a trail that is meant for an EX and be functional without changing other parts.

This is why I was hesitant about ordering..
see the email below. I'm calling him to figure this out. Maybe it is a different kit

Sorry but there is no possible way without changing more than just the A-arms. I can't see how.

I'm just guessing here, but what is the shock length of the ex? I was thinking polaris RZR S ones might do it. They can be found pretty easy and will be a lot cheaper if you find a used set. I do agree that it would be more cost effective to just trade up for an ex.

My understanding they have them for both I know the EX is longer but if I was going to buy them I would go ahead and convert it to ex
