| So this is my first rzr. and i am a little lost on the mechanics of the thing. I have a RZR S with no lift all stock with fox podium shocks these things are different than anything i have ever owned. usually it comes with a tool that you just turn it to the next notch to lift or lower with this set up there isn't no intervals just threads and i dont want to screw anything up. It is riding way way to low when me and my wife get in it. thing is i am not really sure how to lift it up and make sure everything still sets level with us both in it. the ride height atm is way low i drag on everything. i know there is probably a post somewhere on here or another site but i am having no luck on finding it. just a detailed example of how to lift it up with out screwing with my camber. as i am a big boy almost 7 ft tall and over 300 lbs it needs to come up the more the better i hate grinding as i go over a rock. any and all help will be great...... | |

| all you need is the racer tech 2'' lift kit and turn your shocks up a little, it puts the shocks in a more up right position so you get lift plus a better ride. | |

| You can turn the two nuts that are on top of the spring. First thing to do is take all pressure off of the springs then loosen the top nut (jam nut) then turn the bottom nut (adjuster nut) down to tighten up the spring.You should have got a spanner wrench in the rzr tool kit.I don't know how much more ride height you will get by doing this like Gunny said it will help the most to buy the Racer Tech 2" lift kit. I am using the Racer Tech lift kit and just love it. | |

| thanks all. so i tore into the set up today. wasn't to bad. got it adjusted to the weight of me and my wife. it dont slump anymore and actually got me a few inchs higher... springs must have been saging alot from riding cause it came up a few inchs and doesn't squat when under load. and riding is still smooth as silk. GREAT THANKS TO SMOOTH RIDE he was a HUGE help. funny story turned out this man is my cousin and didn't even know it. i called him and realized just how small of a world it is out there. THANKS ALL FOR THE HELP | |
