DUNE RZR > PHASE 1: SUSPENSION PROJECT { The Polaris Ranger RZR is a pretty sweet machine right out of the box,but for guys like us who can’t leave anything alone,we wanted to see what the RZR could really become with some aftermarket accessories.First step: Suspension! Story & Photos:Jon Crowley After taking a Polaris RZR for a spin during the UTV Rally in Moab, I was able to see what the hype was all about. Then a friend bought a turnkey long-travel RZR at the Sand Sports Super Show and I got to see it in action at Sand Mountain the following weekend. I was sold and soon was headed to Glamis to ride my new bone stock Polaris RZR. } I’ve got to say that I was very impressed with the capabilities of the RZR in stock form. But after duning the RZR all over Glamis for the weekend, I had a good idea of what needed to be done to turn it into a vehicle more suited to my use. First up was long-travel which we’ll cover here, but look in future issues where we’ll cover the roll cage, bumpers, lights, seats & harnesses, and some performance parts. Long Travel: The suspension on the RZR has 9” of front wheel travel and 9.5” of rear wheel travel and does a pretty fair job for a stock UTV. The RZR is 50” wide as it comes from the factory, so it feels a bit tippy on side hills or when power sliding the rear end. After researching long-travel kits for a while, I settled on a +6” kit from Fireball Racing. Fireball Racing has been building suspension and performance parts for ATVs since the 1980’s and they expanded into the UTV market a few years back with a mid 66 SIDE X SIDE ACTION MAGAZINE STOCK REPORT: My stock RZR had a 50” wide footprint. In the dunes, this equals a rollover machine.
