What can I do to soften the ride at low speeds?  I've decreased the compression on the front and it helped some but I want the smoothest ride possible.  Are dual rate springs the fix or should I just save my money and get a set of Walker Evan shocks when they pop up?
Is there any benefit to removing my rear sway bar?  I did it on other sxs I've owned and other than some sway at speed, the changes are positive.  

I saw some mud flaps made and sold by someone on this board but I can't remember who it was.  Can someone tell me who I need to send my $$ to?  

Who makes tree kickers that will protect my fender flares?  I've already broken one and need something to keep it from happening to the other side.  I like the look of the Tony's Toys guards but they don't look like they'd help when I'm leaned way over in a gully with one side against a bank.

Revalving the shocks will help as well as dual rate springs. I like Racer Tech springs, I have them on one machine and getting to order another set for the new Jagged X. Before you do anything check your preload and make sure it's set correctly.

Sway bar - depends on what kind of riding you do. I have ours disconnected because we ride more slow technical trails than high speed stuff. Disconnecting the sway bar will definitely help ride quality but you will also experience more body roll during corning.

Tree kickers - there are a multitude of folks making them. Best to do a search and see what you like.

I did the first big trail ride on my shocks and new springs that SMOOTHRIDE fixed up for me last weekend. What a great difference it made. First ride for the sway, on my RZRS, off too.

Definitely unhook the sway bar first. I wish it had been the first thing I did to mine. It is night and day difference between the ride now.

I had Racertec springs on my 900 and I wouldn't recommend them. I had coil bind and they rubbed all the threads off the shock bodies. Go to Smooth Ride and let him revalve yours, put some Hyper coils on and unhook that swaybar. You'll be glad you did.
