Rear Drive Line and Suspension
As a new owner of a Crew-Size Polaris Ranger, you may want to customize your suspension for your specific riding style and terrain needs. Aftermarket shocks can provide a better ride, higher ground clearance, and improved performance. Even small adjustments, such as raising the back two shocks to level the Ranger out with wider wheels, can make a big difference. However, if you have a non-adjustable front strut setup, you will need to install pucks or upgrade to a complete aftermarket suspension system to achieve the desired results. Upgrading your suspension can give you better control and handling, enhanced comfort, and an overall better riding experience. With the right modifications, your Ranger Crew can perform just as well as its RZR brethren. Take the time to research and invest in the right upgrades to get the most out of your Polaris Ranger.

If you own a Polaris Ranger Crew, you know it's a versatile machine that can handle a lot of different terrains and tasks. However, if you want to make your Crew even more capable off-road, you might want to consider upgrading your suspension system. Fortunately, there are many aftermarket parts providers that can help you with this, including Elka Shocks, SuperATV, and ZBros, among others.
One benefit of aftermarket suspension kits is that they can often lift your machine higher above the ground, which can be handy if you want to run larger tires or avoid scrubbing your wheels when turning. However, if you have an older body style of Crew, you may still need to install a lift bracket even with an aftermarket suspension kit. For example, one customer reported that they could barely turn when running just portals and forward a-arms on 31" tires.
To get the most out of your upgraded suspension system, it's important to tailor it to your specific riding style and machine weight. For example, if you often carry a lot of gear or accessories in your Crew, you may want stiffer shocks to handle the extra weight and help with cornering at high speeds. Alternatively, if you frequently encounter rough terrain, you may prefer softer shocks that can absorb impacts and provide a smoother ride. You can also choose suspension systems with faster or slower rebound rates, depending on whether you want your machine to recoil quickly after impacts or absorb them more gradually.
If you're unsure which suspension system is right for your Crew, or if you have questions about the differences between the suspension systems in new and old body styles, don't hesitate to contact an expert. They can help you find the perfect setup for your unique needs and preferences. By investing in a high-quality suspension system, you can take your Polaris Ranger Crew to the next level and tackle even more challenging trails and tasks with confidence!
