Cedar Suspension Co. offers a 72-inch mid-travel suspension kit for the Polaris RANGER XD 1500. The bolt-on package gives the utility side-by-side a wider stance and includes complete CSC tie rods. It is aimed at owners who want more stability and a foundation for a more capable rough-terrain setup.
What Comes with the CSC Ranger XD 1500 Kit?
CSC says the package is engineered specifically for the RANGER XD 1500 and installs with bolt-on hardware. Its listed features include:
- Suspension arms laser-cut from specialty steel that CSC says is 30 percent stronger than 4130 chromoly
- Hand TIG-welded construction with internal and external gusseting
- Complete CSC tie rods
- USA-made Delrin bushings and grease fittings on all A-arms
- Required installation hardware
The components are designed and manufactured in Cedar City, Utah. CSC provides an installation guide on the product page and recommends a qualified shop or technician for installation, alignment and final safety checks.
Why Widen a RANGER XD 1500?
A wider track can help the RANGER feel more planted on uneven ground and in corners. The tradeoff is overall width: owners should check their usual trails, gates and trailer before choosing a 72-inch setup. The kit’s width alone does not establish a specific gain in wheel travel or ground clearance; those results depend on the complete installation and setup.
The RANGER XD 1500 is already a strong utility platform, with a 110-horsepower three-cylinder engine, STEELDRIVE transmission, 3,500-pound rated towing capacity and 1,500-pound cargo box capacity. Owners considering suspension changes for a work machine should confirm their intended tire, wheel, shock and load setup with CSC rather than assume factory ratings or ride characteristics carry over unchanged.
Pairing the Kit with Shocks
In our RANGER XD 1500 Mountaineer Edition test, the stock emulsion shocks handled everyday use but bottomed in larger G-outs. A wider suspension package can provide the basis for a more composed build, while spring rates and damping remain central to how it rides. Confirm shock fitment and tuning for this kit directly with the suspension suppliers.
SDi E-CLIK Active Pro for the RANGER XD 1500 offers electronic damping adjustment through a cab-mounted touch screen, including separate front and rear settings and rear load compensation.
Another option is the SDi Terrain Master 2.1 shock package, which uses piggyback reservoirs and compression adjusters.
