this has probably been answered 1000 times but I'm new so give me a break. what is the best setting for trail riding for the factory shocks? I have them at plus 1 on all for corners seems decent. Do you have to set them all the same or can you max the fronts and soften the rears or vice versa? what would the benefits be to doing this?

you adjust your shock to the type of riding that you do. if your rzr is stock and you just cruz it dont adjust them.

That is a tough question. I found that a RZR can out perform it's stock suspension pretty easily.

I think it all depends on how fast you ride. After two trips to the dunes in California, I found out that the stock suspension isn't up to the task of handling the dunes. It did OK for some slow speed trail riding, but take it up to any speed and you will be bottoming out the stock shocks pretty fast. Before the long travel was installed, all of the bump stops were broken.

Bottom line for setting up the spring rate is how fast you are going to ride. You can keep the spring rate pretty soft if you are going slow < 20MPH, but any faster and the springs have to be compressed more to keep from bottoming out from unexpecting bumps or whoops.

befor i replace my stock shocks i had the front maxed out and the rear on 2......but it still was soft for the dunes i got some affco shocks from making trax...he is also on the site ....i havent got to ride it yet so not sure how it will be but sits higher and alot stiffer

I don't do dunes. all woods and creek riding. Can fly through creeks. I would say I ride at a moderatly fast pace.If i set them on about the mid point in the front and leave them alone in th rear it should be pretty smooth. It feels like the rear is a whole lot stiffer than the fronts when they are on the same setting.

ya the front is real soft...
