Subject: best method to fix rzr spring sag... Wed Apr 28, 2021 12:35 pm
My 2016 rzr xp 1000 eps (walker evans shocks) has less than 13" of ground clearance. What is the best way to gain back my ground clearance? I actually bent one of my stock radius rods at Black Mountain. I bought a set of high clearance boxed radius rods from SuperATV but am concerned that my lack of ground clearance will keep damaging parts. Any suggestions are appreciated, see y'all at Trailsend in June!!

Hey Colonel, the best method is a set of true dual rate springs from somewhere like Shock Therapy or Eibach. The cheaper alternative is just to replace that crappy stock upper spring with a set of Tender Springs from RZRAid. That's what I have and it did the trick. It just doesn't ride quite as smooth as dual rate springs but it is better than stock and will give you a couple more inches of ground clearance.

Jim, 54chevy is right. Most go with Shock Therapy and the best way is to send the shocks to them to do a complete re-valve and spring change to match your riding style, body weight and hauling weight. I was going to try and send mine off to them before the June ride, but I have to take mine in for warranty work next week.
