Anyone have a 2010 Model Polaris Ranger Crew?

[Gary Robertson]

I learned someting from a dealer this week, that I thought I would pass along.

On the 2010 model Ranger Crew, Polaris has a simple built in lift kit- if you choose to utilize it! The shocks all come from the factory in a standard configuration. However, Polaris also welds on some additional shock mounts on the outside of the frame, on all four corners of the machine. You can simply jack up the vehicle, unbolt the shock from their stock mounting points, and move it to the outboard extra shock mounting location. This instantly give you about 2+ inches of lift, and can be done in just a matter of minutes.

I thought this was a VERY cool thing that Polaris built-in on their latest 2010 Crew. Just wanted to pass along the info before someone went and ordered a lift kit.

Take care,

Gary

Gary,

Polaris Rangers have had alternate upper shock mount holes since about 2005.

Moving the shocks doesn't give much if any lift....maybe 1/2 inch at best. What it does do is stiffen the suspension. Great if you are carrying heavy loads. My '07 XP Ranger has had the shocks in the outer position since new.

The main difference in the '09/'10 Rangers is a double "A" arm front suspension rather than McPherson struts.
