| Well I am fixin to convert my poor ole 50 inch into an S this week.I order it from super atv and I cant wait to try it out.After being on my side three times I figured this would be a little more stable.Be my luck all the trails will go to a 50 inch rule and piss me off LOL.

| I believe it comes with a bracket that allows you to use stock shocks or you can use the longer shocks.

| The kit i'm getting is 799 which is dirt cheap and I was going to get theyre shocks they offer but they are out so I had to get the brackets for 95 dollars to use my stock shocks I will try them first and if I dont like them I will get the shocks from them when they get them.The shocks are called phantoms and they are separate resevoir fully adjustable for 943 dollars I think but they look like they would work just fine I know you get what you pay for but I just cant see paying 1800 or better for shocks. | |

I can't either.....1,800.00 for 4 shocks....there is not enough stuff there to warrant that kind of money...hell I can put 6 on the Peterbilt for 1/2 that $$$$$ | |

| I have the +6 kit and it works very well. You do need to get rid of the stock stocks for something better or you will not realize benifits of the longer arms.

| IMHO just keep an eye out on ebay and the RZR forums for a set of RZR S fox shocks.. They go for about 800 used and are better then super ATVs shocks.. Or if you want even better spend a few hundred more and pick up a used set of fox 2.0s or AFCOs , ect. That +5 will not ride much better if any with the stock shocks.. You will be more stable though. I've pretty much gotten to the point I won't buy anything from super ATV except for their Rhino axles or a arms. Me or my neighbor just haven't had any luck with their stuff. He has their +5 with some stock RZR S shocks and is pretty happy. I think one of his rear arms is off a little. But your right for the money its hard to beat. | |

| Well I ran into my first problem the rear shock bracket wouldnt clear my S&S exhaust so now I have to modify my muffler but I have it figured out now and got the brackets on tonight I will finish the rear end tomorrow night and do the front friday night.

| I took it to Toptrails yesterday and I could'nt ask for a better more comfortable handling ride.I can see that I am going to have to get longer travel shocks though. But overall it was a hellava lot more stable.Sorry about the bad pictures I didnt realize how bad they where on my phone till I downloaded them.The kit was easy to install except changing the axle shafts was time consuming so if you can afford the complete axles that would make it faster. | |
