Going with the Rzr to RzrS conversion kit that Jared at Ruthless Motor Sports is promoting. Kind of excited about what it will do!

That would be the proper way to do any lift on any UTV. It increases the stance to add stability along with more wheel travel. It cost more but it is the best way to do it :idea: .

I have decided to put a different suspension under my Rzr and the lift kit will not be needed an longer. By the way, I had a lift kit on my 2008 which I rode 2860 miles and never tipped it over. I really liked how it worked and did get me up so I could go over the bigger rocks in the trail.

You would be the exception to the rule on RZRs not rolling over. Every trip I go out on with my Ranger Xp I am always tipping back over the standard rzrs, have not needed to do a Rzr-s yet though .

No question - I am the exception!!!

You are right RANGERDALE that really is the proper way to do a lift. Its nice to have some less expensive options out now.

Not to take this completely away from the original poster's question, but do you really encounter that many flipped RZR's ?

I've seen a ton of YouTube videos of standard RZR's flipping - looks easy to do in that vehicle.

Maybe it's just the suspension and the longer wheelbase on the RZR-4 (not to mention, I added 1 1/2" spacers) but I've pushed it very hard chasing much bigger, faster cars around the desert and haven't come close to rolling. And I really do mean I've pushed it. I've hit similar corners at the same speed in dual sport cars and things break!

Anyone roll a RZR-4 :?:

To answer your question glassman, I have four people with the standard RZR and out of that four three have put there's on the side or roof at least once and the other two had done it twice. A friend of mine with a rhino 660 has had his rolled three times but not all with the same driver. It is all about the wheelbase and the center of gravity as well as driver. The RZR-s has a wider wheelbase along with the Ranger Xp and a much better suspension and is less likely to roll compared to a standard RZR. As for the new 4 seat RZR, I would suspect because of the added weight and no change in the wheelbase width it would be more prone to a roll over but again I have not seen one running around yet.....

Hey, thanks for the response....a lot of water has passed under the bridge since that post of mine

You should know, the 4 is as wide as the "S" in stock condition and has progressive springs in addition to the stouter 2.0 Fox shocks. The added length really does make it more stable as well as giving it a significant advantage through the whoops. The spacers give it a few more inches which does enhance it's stability. I have yet to see a RZR4 roll....and I think I've seen just about all the YouTube videos so far....however, there is a dandy of a RZR4 vs. Tree video I saw last week! The tree wins.

And I now know what you mean about the standard, 50" RZR going over when pushed...I've seen it first hand since then.

Next month's "Rally on the Rocks" should provide for some interesting footage. Too bad I can't out there, sounds like fun.

Never rolled my Rhino (my son did once - inexperience). I have seen plenty of standard RZR's on their side. How many of the early ones have you seen with the little dimple in the front side plastic (from frame when rolling it). I did finally roll my RZR S :? (it was a fluke)

Very impressed with RZR 4 whoop handling and stability in turns - got some video of Fasttrax pushing his at little Sarhara - will try and post it.
