I went to Moab UT a couple weeks ago with my RZR and it worked awesome! I went with 4 Rhino's and I seemed to climb better than them. I never noticed a lag in the front end locking up. It climbed like it was always locked up, but it was always easy to steer like it was'nt locked. (We did a lot of 3 wheeling so I would have noticed if it wasnt locking fast) The only problem i had was hitting bottom because of the low clearance. Lift it a little and it will be perfect. Oh and i left both sway bars hooked up too. It would probably do even better with one disconected.
