We have a 2014 RT that we haul around in a self built 7x12 camper trailer/Spyder hauler. We like to boondock camp and that usually involves not so smooth dirt roads. Other than rocks getting stuck in the drive belt, we also have issues with it bottoming out. Does anyone know of a lift kit or some way of getting more ground clearance for my Spyder? I would like to make it more "off road" friendly.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I would say get yourself a couple Rykers if you ride two up, they are more of a boon docker ride than the RT! Even if you stiffen your shocks up tight you are only going to gain just a few inches, then you will have to play with the set up when you get back on tar!! Good luck

:agree: Trade it on a Ryker or two, or better yet, if you really like to ride the rough leave the RT at home and take an ATV. The RT was not designed nor intended to be ridden off pavement. If you did modify it for rough roads then it may no longer be suitable or safe for asphalt at 70 mph.

Ground clearance can be achieved ( I've done it ), however as IMS stated there will be a trade-off for any normal road riding. .... the other possibility is to increase the weight capability of the springs and there would be trade-off's in doing that. I have found on rougher terrain the speed you travel at needs to be much, much slower. ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

How much weight do you have on the spyder when riding in these areas? Are your shocks still stock?
How much height do you have when loaded up? ( From ground to bottom of frunk)
