I have had the RZR for a couple of years but had not duned it until this weekend other than putzing around in the small dunes. I just put the Super ATV "S" cheapie +5 $799 kit on it which uses the stock shocks and you can upgrade the shocks later. That puts it at 60" wide. There are two settings for the stock shocks and on the inner/lower setting it was bottoming pretty hard so I went to the outer setting and only banged a few times. Surprised but I did not break the rubber bumpers in the shocks. I am running stock wheels and tires and set them at 4.5 lbs. Put about 80 miles on this weekend at Buttercup and what a blast. Total opposite spectrum compared to the buggy. You really have to pick your line and keep the speed up. I was surprised how fast we could run. Of course you cant go way high on the big bowls but shorten the line up here and there and you can move along at a pretty nice clip. coming down from the tops of some of the big bowls on the west end of Buttercup at 40-45 mph and then drifting was a hoot. Even in 4 wheel drive. Sand was epic smooth and hardly anyone out there. I would never get rid of the buggy and thrill but this is a nice second choice for a mellower weekend. My Fox 2.0s are due but they said another month yet so that should really be fun carrying more speed. beer.gif

I am very impressed with this kit and what you get for the price. Super ATV is going to hurt a lot of people in the long travel business. No need to spend huge $$$ to have fun. A gusset kit and gusset tubes should be done if you want to romp it.

This thread goes back to October of 2009 when the kit first came out. They had a few small issues and seemed to have worked them out.

Tim, Here is the kit You would have some shipping on top of the $800. The nice thing with this kit is you can run your stock shocks or aftermarket replacement shocks for stock. You dont gain any travel unless you put on an "S" Podium or replacement shock. Stock I think is around 9" and with the S setup it is around 12". Your best bet would be to sell your Walker Evans and then purchase the Fox position sensitive or Dragonfire custom valved Fox shocks. Stay away from the Fox Podiums that come stock on the S. They are not near as good as the 2.0 Foxes. There are some other good S replacement shocks out there like King, Makin Trax, Elka, etc. Installing the kit is fairly easy but you will need some mechanical skills. I used a press instead of a hammer to install the ball joints for the old to new arms. For strength I also purchased the Racer Tech Gusset kit. It is $100 with the washers for the pivots on the arms and worth the extra $25. Lots of pieces to weld in and takes some time. I used paint stripper then sanded all the areas that needed welding. It is quite a bit of work to weld all of this in but worth it. Not sure what it would cost if you had to hire someone. There is also a sleeve kit for the frame but you can buy a 10' length of black iron pipe from Home Depot for $9, cut the pieces, and do the same.

Edited to add: The basic kit comes with longer axles and you need to transfer the CVs over yourself. I saved all of the little clamps but it was tricky. You will need the special pliers to do the clamps. Packing the CVs and changing axles took me about 3 hours. You can buy the kit with CVs but it is more expensive. My CVs were like new so no need. The axle clicks into the differential so be sure to buy new clips from Polaris. They are cheap and with the old clip some guys have had them fall out.

Put on the fox 2.0s with dual compression adjustments and right out of the box I have to say its a whole new car. Did a couple of quick runs in some big whoops out behind the house and what a difference. Bent the rear swaybar so that has been removed probably for good. Still feels pretty stable but a longer ride will tell.
