Re: lift kit info?
Man, there is a bunch of kits out there for your RZR. If you take a look at some of them, you will see that all of them have their advantages. The Extreme 3" kit not only gives you lift, but also strengthens your frame a bit by adding cross members in it. The rubberdown kit is a nice 2 inch kit that mounts at the bottom (a-arm) side of your shocks and is a nice kit. There is only one guy on ebay that I like for 2 inch kits and he sells a simple 2 inch powdercoated kit for 89 bucks. Its a great kit because its simple and cheap. He makes his out of thick steel unlike alot of your others on ebay. He is able to sell them cheap because of the easy design and he probably does it for a hobby, not a buisness.
So, its all up to you. I am an extreme dealer and love their kit, but the 3 inches is too much for my RZR, so I went with the ebay kit to see what its about and it does seem to look good and strong. Ill let you know when I install it on how it does.

Notice I said my RZR. I sell a crapload of the Extreme kits with nothing but great reviews  . Its a well designed kit and is a proven kit. I just didnt need that much lift. I wanted to stay moderately skinny for our small trail systems around here, so Im not going to raise the vehicle alot (to keep the stability).

I have the 3" Extreme on my bike (Thanks Jon) and I also added a 3" lower (like the rubberdown) @ the bottom of the shock too for a total of 6".
I have no problem clearing my 29.5" Swamp lites with 2" spacers on the front. The ride is really smooth and I am still narrow enought to make it through the trails.
This allows me to go places that I could not even consider with the stock height.

Re: lift kit info?
Wondering if you have any photos of the two lifts installed together?.
From looking at the other pictures its hard to tell.
Do you have the Aluminum spacers on top of the springs that came with the xtreme lift? Can't really see them from the pictures posted.
Thanks,
