Re: What is ur ground clearance

What lift do you have? How and where are you taking your measurement? I have the 3" roktek lift with highlifter springs fully adjusted and after compressing my shocks and letting the rzr rebound on its own, my ground clearance is 12" . I'm taking the measurement at the lowest point which is at the front middle bolt of the belly skid plate.

Re: What is ur ground clearance

Ive read the roktek 3'' does not give the true 3'' lift, but am more interested in any updates from you guys running this lift? If you jack the rzr rear tires off the ground can you still rotate the wheels easily or does it bind the cvs. Ive found with standard 2'' lifts it lets the suspension drop to dangerous angles that if your rear wheel drops can break a axle or cv. This kit says it limits over travel to safe limits. Would really like someone with one to check and let us know if thats true. Im looking for the safe drop more so than more lift than 1.5-2''.

I have the same lift with 25" tires. 12" at bottom of hitch receiver with the pre loads set on the lowest setting.

Re: What is ur ground clearance

OK, If we all don't measure the same, then none of our answers mean anything. So I vote for everybody that is interested in ground clearance to decide where and how (lifting it up on a jack and letting the rzr down easy to where it rests, preloading the shocks and letting the rzr rebound on its own, or just lifting it up with all your might for those awesome looking pictures) to measure including before and after. AND WHERE!!!!

Re: What is ur ground clearance

and also... Just letting it rebound on its own is not accurate either... you can measure it this way and then go out and ride the bike around and remeasure and USUALLY the measurement is less after riding. This gives the suspension to settle back in to a TRUE measurement.

Re: What is ur ground clearance

I have an 09 Razor with less than 5 hours on it. Last weekend I put a Roktek lift on. I still have the stock springs (hope to change soon) and with the shock's turned all the way up, I am at 12-3/4" (front) and 14-1/2" (rear). Up front I measured the skidplate to the ground and in the rear I measured from the hitch to the ground.

I have rode it about 10 miles since the lift, but thats it. When I installed the lift, I rotated the tires at full droop and had no issues at all. The lift was fairly easy to install. Especially like the quick disconnect front swaybars.
