I hear you Gunny and you guys have the lift I do not. However, I think the new lift was built to keep the CVs from binding not from the lift bending. Maybe the new lift is stronger Just trying to help.

All im saying is If todd and tim are running the original front lift, then they have a different lift than we do. But they will now have the same as we do since andy does not ship that first version to people for use on a S anymore, just as a "fyi" the first version was designed for a standard RZR which it works fine on.

Andy is a class act

Keep us posted todd, if you guys bend the new type front lift too then i guess the rest of us will have problems too down the line.

I'm still running the first gen front lift with no problems yet. I hope the new one fixes you guys up Todd.

I am not saying mine is trashed, but I do notice that the cross-frame is starting to dig into the nut that is on the bolt that goes thru where the shocks originally mounted from the factory. It is not severe, just barely cut a very small notch in the nut. It may be a signal of things to come. I hope not. I have about 300-350 miles on the lift I would guess. I have jumped it, but I have ridden thru some whoops. If it does happen to bend, I have the utmost confidence that Andy and the boys will make it right.

Dodd has probably ridden his the most and hardest of any of us. If his is holding up I am not sure Tim's and Todd's would bend. I guess there could always be "bad batches" of lesser metal. I don't really know. I do know that I will be keeping a watchful eye on it, just like I do the air filter.

Thanks for the heads up Todd!

Mines not going to be lifted the improper way, i.e. a bolt on lift. That's just MY opinion. I'm by no means knocking any product out there, if you want to use it ,fine. Most lifts change the geometry, they have to ,to work. Like I say that's MY opinion. I'm going to get lift the,( In my opinion) proper way, via springs or shocks, no geometry changes. After seeing this and other failures, Moose,R-Down, and several others, I'm just not going that way. Besides, when the next "kit" comes, I won't need any lift......I'll just take-off and fly over anything..........




:D

How much ground clearance does the RZR S have from the factory? Does it set so low that you have to lift it? I know with it being wider it will need more center ground clearance than a narrower machine on the trails we ride but isn't the reason why the RZR S sells so well because of the low center of gravity and handling? not bashing just questions.

Factory , it has about 12 inches of GC.
with the lift you get between 14 to 15 , depending on
how much preload you want to put on the shocks.
around 13.9 to 14 is best if you want a good ride....

Oh-Oh.......this is going to get interesting

Turbo would be nice. I doubt I will ever do it myself though.

What good is a turbo in the woods? in the sand, yes it would be nice.

Pate likes to ride in the creek.
he will have one hell of a water pump.
should shoot a nice stream up....

replacing the wave runners he was selling?

Hey today I was impressed by the "S"nake. The water levels down at the river have been extremely high, and the bottom is really soft. I followed an Artic-Cat 700 Mud-Pro quad, with 30-inch Silverbacks, it has factory snorkles, he got stuck twice. The "S"nake never got stuck once. I had water up to my seat bottoms several times.......Although I was very skepctal about the 4WD system on this thing at first, now it has proven to me to be the "man"............ And as bad as I hate to admit it, MY Rhino would not even gotten close to where we went.............

It's ok bro, all I can say is bring it on!!!!!!!!!!! In fact ,I can back it up with some Franklins, several of them. Come to my house and go where I can, and NOT get stuck. I'm not bashing here, I've owned both, traveled the same route 1000's of times in a Rhino, it will not go where the "S"nake did in these conditions, period. Will it Mike????????? :D
