Lift kit
« on: November 13, 2016, 08:51:26 PM »
So i bought a lift kit polaris rzr 800 efi 3 inch lift kit for $50. It's just brackets to relocate your coil overs.  Much better than the $200 spacers that are on the market that basically just cranks your preload way the hell up.  I had 11.25 inch clearance in the front, 11.5 in the rear.  I put in the spacers, needed some cutting on the band saw and will need a couple tac welds next week.  So i also cranked my preload all the way down because i prefer a softer ride and more flex for crawling. With preload all the way down i have 13.25 clearance in the front and 13.5 in the rear now.  Exactly what i was looking for!  I also removed the rear sway bar link.  So i have much more body roll but it still doesn't get up on two wheels on gravel or anything and i can really throw it into corners and out gets loose much easier.  Great for crawling now too. I recommend for crawling and woods riding.  High speed riding probably not what you want to do.

I tend to set up my suspension soft also as I like to let it walk over stuff.  I dont need the lift though and often avoid it because it even more so hurts the high speed handling.   
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.

Yea in my area we have lots of rocks, I got hung up a couple times and just needed a wee bit more clearance to make the ride a bit easier on the undercarriage.  I took it to about 40 on gravel whipping it around seeing how stable it is. Tho it does roll a lot more I couldn't get it to scare me. I wouldn't go doing that on pavement but it felt ok on gravel. I might drop the lift an inch after I use it a bit and see more of the pro's and cons, all I would have to do is drill new holes then it would be an adjustable lift. I took it up the same could steep hill climbs and couldn't really feel a difference in stability all 4 tires stayed on the ground so I'm happy. one of the climbs is almost straight up and down the last 3 feet.
