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......

For up in your area I would go see smooth ride and let him re- spring those fox shocks you will love the the ride and have all the Clarence you can get without a lift also his springs won't sag like the factory ones. Or you can buy a spanner wrench and start cranking preload into those factory springs. ( just ask local dealer for a spanner wrench)
Good luck bro.

just add a racer tech 2'' lift and your set, it gives you about 13'' ground clearance and a good ride. Most all of us run one. trick to adjusting the shocks is to jack the buggy up, spray the adjusters with wd40 and either get a spanner wrench or take a flat screwdriver and hammer and tap the ring loose then adjust them with a channel lock.
