Standardized way for measuring ride height on a dynamix Pro XP.

I know there are a lot of posts about ride height and I've read most of them... if this question is clearly answered somewhere else, I missed it.

When measuring ride height, what is the procedure? Should Dynamix be set to soft? Firm? Should you push the chassis down and let it rebound to "ride height"? I am trying to evaluate the condition of my OEM springs (the tenders have been replaced once already under warranty) but I have no idea what the correct way to do this is.

Also, is there an update to the 2020 service manual? It says that the rear shocks should have 9.25 inches between the adjuster and the top of the shock tube... mine is set at 10", and I've never touched it... yet my ride height is still only about 11" when settled. I have no significant accessory weight on the back at all.

Here we go...

Jeremy i believe your assumptions about comfort are correct, and like others mentioned role it's forward and back several feet letting it settle, and try not to hit the brakes, let it role to a stop on its own. I measure from the bottom of the lower rear A arm bolt on the front and from the very lowest flat spot on the rear mounting plate for the radius rods.

Thank you much Burks. I had just thought of checking into ST's documentation and seeing what I could find. Good idea. I was thinking ST or Schmidty, but am also considering just an upgraded set of tender springs from RZR-AID... only about $260 and sounds like it really helps. The only reason I'm hesitant to spend the $900 for the full set is I'm not sure how much longer I'll have this ride.

Not that I suggest using this company but Shock Therapy instructions say to set right height with Dynamics you must have the key on and set in comfort mode.

To me this makes sense because you would want your ride height to be set at the lowest possible setting so you know what your GC is going to be no matter what setting you go to.
If you set it on Sport and then go to comfort your GC is obviously going to be lower than what you set it at.

ALWAYS after jacking up your rig get it in and drive forward and backward several feet to allow the suspension to settle. (you bouncing on the rzr isnt going to fully setlle the suspension.)

I always measure to the back A-arm mounting point for GC in the front, and in the rear I measured to the skid pan on the rear of the frame closest to where the radius rod connects.

When measuring your GC make sure you have the approx weight of the driver/pass/gear in the rig otherwise after you get in and your passenger and all your gear its going to be lower than you want.

I suggest Schmidty Racing Suspension for springs if you plan on doing it. I have had 2 different sets of springs and his setup is way better than the one I had previously.

Hope this helps.

I don't go by the top threads because the tenders are junk and they compress. To set ride height I just measure under the front and back and adjust the springs till I get the correct number. The shock is not setting your height the springs are, so it should not matter if you have them on soft or firm
