FREE Polaris Ranger Lift Kit. Adjust your shocks

Polaris Ranger Lift kits can be expensive. All Polaris Rangers and most other SXS's have adjustable suspensions that, when adjusted, give more ground clearance. Watch the video to learn how to apply free lift to your Polaris Ranger.

You can also move your upper shock bolts to the outer holes and it will give you a little bit more and help the geometry of the suspension. Did all this to my 2017 ranger and got about 2-1/4” out of it.

You just adjusted the preload to make the suspension softer or stiffer by using the spanner wrench to do that. Does it do what you were under the perception it would? Yes, but you also sacrifice ride quality depending on what terrain the adjustment is needed for.

You should have driven it before you measured you want get but 3\4 to 1in by adjusting you shocks. But great video..

That's not free lift dude....thats called shock preload. By doing that you either end up making the machine very very stiff or very soft depending on which way you go with the preload of the shock. It can cause issues like rollovers, bottoming out, tire rub, stiff ride ect....so know what you're doing before you get too carried away with your suspension....

I remember making this same adjustment to the rear shock/springs on my 79 Honda Elsinore 250 thinking it would lift the rear of the bike.😆

Hey, did you find it stiffened up the ride much?

[kevinstone]

Did it change the ride at all? Love the videos. Waiting on my 2022 ranger crew xp 1000 to come in!!

[michaelsain]

just put a set of 14 inch wheels and 27 inch tires does not rub now that I adjusted shocks

[johnwehner]

How did it effect you ride? Stiffer, smoother?

[johnnyg]

What size, brand, and model tires do you have ? Also are they considered or is there such things as all terrains for the rangers? I currently have the 29” maxxis big horns but To me the maxxis carnivores look a little bit more of an all terrain.

I have a Polaris 2022 1000 3 premium. It has 26” tires and around 13” clearance. If I adjust my shocks do you think I will get 14.5 clearance on mine?

[UltimateXreviewr]

If I do this
You think I can fit 30" tires on my stock rims ?
2021 1000 Xp ranger

[mattforrest]

What kind of shocks come on these from the factory ?

[markcinco]

Can they be adjusted without jacking and taking the wheel off?

[summerlee]

Hello! We have a pair of Polaris ranger side mirrors, and we are now looking for someone to test it for us. Are you interested?

[eagle]

Now do a video to show how terrible the ride is now😂

Well of course it's 100% free, because it's called a simple adjustment that is based independently on the working weight of the vehicle. Duh! You've never heard of preload adjustment? That "special tool" is simply called a spanner wrench. Your ideology of how to "tweak" things on the Ranger scares me. There are three shock locations not two. Since the shock locations change the angle of the shock to the a-arm it means that shock compression linearity also changes. It has very little to do with softer or harder, but rather how progressive the suspension is in it's total travel. The only way to demonstrate this would be with a line graph. Because with a line graph you would be able to see the amount of coil force exerted over a suspension travel length at any point in its travel. You may want a shock that progresses a different way through the travel so that the more it moves it gets stiffer and stiffer. To the contrary you might want a shock that does not progress the same way or in the same ratio. It will definitely depend on the shock itself being used, the damping being used, and the coil spring rate being used. The people watching this should know that simply jacking your coil spring preload as high as physically possible could make your machine handle like absolute crap who cares about ground clearance when the front or the rear of the vehicle is throwing the other end into the ground harder thus negating ride height when such occurs--geometry is the word and geometry requirement greatly varies depending on weight bias and driving style. Let me guess you also figured out another trick that only one farmer down the road knew about; if you put 80 psi in your tires you can gain another quarter inch of ground clearance. 🤣🤣 The idea even though this idea is greatly lost when it comes to vehicles with four wheels for some reason owners of four-wheel vehicles tend to not research the things that are so important with two wheeled vehicles, yet they operate on the exact same principles more or less. (Sorry, but I had to say it guys). The idea is to keep the tires well planted on the ground, in order to turn / corner, brake, and accelerate optimally. Who cares about ground clearance when that high-speed corner trail slams your front into a giant oak tree because the rear was weighted and the front was not properly bias weighted. Lol. I mean I shouldn't even have to say any of this; you clearly don't even read your manual.
