Your Full-Size Ranger represents a significant investment in getting work done efficiently, and protecting that investment starts with proper A-arm protection. Polaris Ranger Full-Size A-arm guards serve as the first line of defense against the rocks, roots, and debris that can bend expensive suspension components or damage costly CV joints. Think about the last time you had to navigate around a fallen tree or cross a rocky creek bed - those are exactly the situations where quality A-arm guards earn their keep by deflecting impacts that could otherwise sideline your machine for days and cost hundreds in repairs.
When you’re working with a truly top-of-the-lin Polaris Ranger Full-Size A-arm guard set, you don’t just get base level protection. With advanced materials an innovative engineering, these guards actually enhance your machine’s performance at the same time. Look for aircraft-grade aluminum or high-tensile steel construction. Your guards should have smooth, curved services to shed debris naturally rather than catching it. The difference between quality guards and cheap alternatives becomes apparent the first time you take a hard hit - inferior guards can actually transfer more impact force to your suspension components than they absorb.
As always, the “best” option for you when it comes to Full-Size A-arm guards is dependent on how you intend to use your side-by-side (and what kind of terrain you’re up against). Ranch operators who have to contend with fence wire, metal posts, and debris often prefer full-wrap guards that provide 360-degree protection. On the other hand, if you’re bopping along the trail, a lighter skid plate set may suffice. Finally, make sure you consider any aftermarket suspension components, lifts, or tires when committing to a guard set.

Will installing heav-duty A-arm guards mess up my handling?
Not when you’re working with top-quality products that are specially engineered to work with your suspension’s natural contours and mounting points. As long as you’ve got a well-designed set, you shouldn’t notice any major dips in handling or performance.
Will I need to swap out A-arm guards if I want a lift kit?
That depends on both the lift kit and the guard design. With careful research (always check those specs!), you should be able to find a pair that plays nicely with each other.
What are some signs that it’s time to swap out my A-arm guards?
Inspect your guards regularly for cracks, severe dents, or loose mounting hardware - while they're designed to take hits, damaged guards should be replaced to ensure continued protection of your expensive suspension components.
