Title: squating rzr Post by: m0n0x1d3 on January 13, 2009, 09:22:57 AM hello all,
What i need to know is if anyone with a rzr notices that it looses its suspension rather quickly once the bike gets into mud and trails.I am running 26x14 tires and will be switching to 28's with a 2inch lift.Would suspension upgrade be the way to go?The RZR is realy impressive in the mud and trails however it just bottoms out alot.Any input will be greatly appreciated. Title: Re: squating rzr Post by: IXIswamperIXI on January 13, 2009, 09:58:17 AM I have 27" ITP 589 on my stock sup. I am not sure about 28" tires (if you need a lift) I also have noticed it bottoming out in the mud but it still goes good even when you think you have bottomed out. I am thinking it bottoms out because it has a longer wheel base not so much the ground clearance. I personally don't like lifts because of the added stress on the CVs. I know you can upgrade the CVs and the axles I just like the challenge of seeing where I can take my RZR when it is basically stock. I also disconnected my front sway bar for added articulation in the front end but it does add a little body roll in the corners a higher speeds.

I have disconnected my swaybar as well and it has made a difference.I already have to buy a new underbelly pan.I was wondering if i got evan walker shocks or somthing similar if it would squat less. Title: Re: squating rzr Post by: IXIswamperIXI on January 13, 2009, 06:56:46 PM hmm... I am not sure. Have you "clicked" your stock ones up. If not that might help.
Title: Re: squating rzr Post by: Chevy1500z71 on January 13, 2009, 07:25:48 PM lift kits kill ball joints and cvs, dont lift it whatever you do. you could try clicking it up a notch on the shocks as mentioned above but if you dont have adjustable rebound it could give you a more springy ride.
Title: Re: squating rzr Post by: papadz on February 02, 2009, 05:53:41 PM Gen I RZR 3" lift / 27" ITP mudlites / shocks up 2 notches. been like this for over a year now and never had ball joints or CV problems. but keep in mind I'm 47 and dont beat the hell out of it either. But I do mud and trails at S.E.
Title: Re: squating rzr Post by: m0n0x1d3 on February 09, 2009, 06:52:04 AM 2" lift 27" mudlites and 1 click in on shocks.This setup seems to work real well for me ATM.
I also ride slow and dont beat the thing to death.Also I just found that hi-lifter makes replacement springs for our stock shocks to help reduce the squatting.

Title: Re: squating rzr Post by: RubiconJim on January 16, 2010, 07:48:23 PM The RZR stock springs suck. Got to go to after market springs or shocks too.
I put the HighLifter springs on, then set it to 2 notches up front and back. I happy with that so far. I may consider the FOX shocks later but I got other upgrades planned first. Got a 09 RZR and continue to add access's nearly every quarter. I'm putting half doors on soon, a cargo box, second set of fender flares, and I need another skid plate. It never ends. :dunno.gif Title: Re: squating rzr Post by: team_quad_green on February 22, 2010, 09:21:30 PM I have a rubber down customs spring spacer on all 4 shocks to help with squatting
