Great poll. Looking forward to the results.

I feel that the AC XTZ1000 is fairly wide stock so I'm going to say +4 for most of us desert riders. I think the builders can get 15" travel with that set up.

I'd like too see a mid travel so you could use stock length shocks, like the lonestar mid travel.Starting with 10" travel we could possibly get 14". Also this way you could upgrade shocks first, and then add the mid travel kit.

I would go 6+ if you do most of your riding in the desert or dunes, if you stick to small trails you should do a 4".

i'm torn...i like the 6 but like flying121 said, thats pretty friggin wide for these things..4 is probably right in there for all types of riding..lord knows we need some more stability in these...but Papav has a great point to...especially now that i have King shocks...lol..i did offer my ride to LSR for a kit...they say they are evaluating the need to add AC stuff.lol, hope they do.

The XTZ is really only a couple inches wider than the Teryx. So +6 is not that crazy.

But good shocks can make a +4 just as good through the bumps and more versatile as far different trails.

If stability is a big concern like it is to me then +6 in the sand or Desert.
I have already put mine on its side lol

I had a plus 4 kit on my last prowler. That kit made it 73" wide with my wheel offset. I don't think another 4" is really necessary. It was plenty stable. I really miss the suspension................
