I've noticed that the 2" lift kits seem to be popular with the "Semi-Stock" riders like me. My question:
With the higher center of Gravity (COG) are you more prone to tipping?
I'm running 2" spacers to give me more stability but would rather I didn't have to preload to 5 on the springs and shocks. I'm thinking a 2" lift and then back down to 3 on the preload. Any thoughts on this combination?

2 inch lift with 1.5 inch spacers 3rd up on shocks more stable on and off
trails,not bottoming out on every little rock or bump.
and less mud in cab.

Simple physics says that any height increase with no width increase will raise the COG. Therefore the tipping or rollover will occur at a lower g-force. Having stated the obvious, I will say that most riders are reporting no HUGE safety factor in doing a lift without a long-travel kit. I also think that you could leave the spacers, put a 2" lift on and lower your spring preload to the second position. That is how I run mine due to trail width restrictions. Only upgrade I look to make it better is some AFCO shocks! I hear they are the shiznit!

Are you running spacers for the width or for tire clearance?

Thanks for the input guys, I think I will put in a set. Are the spacers keeping you from getting thru the gates?
What kit would you recommend,
John

I have a 52" clearance restriction on the trails around my cabin in Utah. By far the best kit is made by Rubberdown! IMHO, he has the best customer service and a product that is bomb-proof. Other guys will say theirs is better or stronger or whatever, but Rubberdown is as strong as any out there and definately stronger than the parts it attaches to. Plus it weighs less, if that matters to you.

M91, do you have any claerance on your 52" gate. Where are you riding in Utah? I have some land around Cedar City and run 2" spacers.
I don't know what my width is right now but i bought the spacers to remove if required to get where I need to.
John

I have a couple of inches on each side, maybe less. I just know I fit. The Dept. of Forestry may not make the width exactly 52", I don't know. I do know that Rangers, Rhino's, ect... don't fit. That's the purpose of the gates. Another reason why the RZR ROCKS!

NIck

Where are you riding in Utah?

I have a cabin in Strawberry Valley, near Duck Creek.

Wow I was up there a couple of weks ago, rode trail 5 out to the end.
You didn't happen to be in your RZR with a dog when another RZR came up and asked directions did you, If so that was us,
I did go thru two gates that day.
You have great trails but whats with all those rocks!!!!
