One show we never end up missing is the Sand Sports Super Show. But then again, that could be because we live about 20 minutes from the O.C. Fairgrounds where it's held every year... . But even if it were hours away, we think we'd still make the trek to get out and see the sand show. And 2008's show was the biggest yet, which was really great to see. We weren't sure how the current economic bump in the off-road industry was going to play out in terms of attendance at this year's show, so it was really great to see so many heads checking out what's new.

The kit raises the upper coilover mounting points, but the equipment is all bolt-on so you could still put the entire kit on yourself. The kit is 6 inches wider per side, and not only accepts a coilover shock but also a bypass shock to make this one gnarly RZR kit.
