The Cedar Suspension Co. Polaris Ranger XD 1500 72-inch Mid-Travel Suspension Kit is designed to transform the already capable Polaris Ranger XD 1500 into a more stable, confident, and trail-ready machine. Built specifically for the Ranger XD platform, the kit widens the vehicle to a 72-inch stance while retaining the utility-focused nature that has made the XD 1500 one of the most popular work and recreation UTVs on the market.
The Polaris RANGER XD 1500 represents a major step forward in the utility UTV segment, combining class-leading capability with innovative technology designed for both work and recreation. Powered by a 110-horsepower ProStar 1500cc three-cylinder engine, the RANGER XD 1500 delivers impressive towing, hauling, and off-road performance while introducing Polaris’ industry-exclusive STEELDRIVE transmission. Unlike traditional belt-driven CVT systems, STEELDRIVE utilizes a fully enclosed, liquid-cooled steel belt design engineered for increased durability, smoother operation, and reduced maintenance. With a 3,500-pound towing capacity, 1,500-pound cargo box capacity, up to 15 inches of ground clearance, and available NorthStar cab models featuring factory-installed heat and air conditioning, the RANGER XD 1500 is built to handle demanding jobs while providing exceptional comfort on the trail.
Cedar Suspension Co. developed this mid-travel suspension package to complement those features by improving ride quality, stability, and durability when tackling rough terrain, higher speed desert roads, rocky trails, or demanding work environments.
Built for Strength and Durability
Like other products from Cedar Suspension Co., the Ranger XD 1500 Mid-Travel Kit is engineered and manufactured in the United States. The suspension arms are laser-cut from a specialty steel that the company says is approximately 30 percent stronger than traditional 4130 chromoly. Each component is hand TIG welded and incorporates both internal and external gusseting to maximize strength and durability.
The kit also features:
- USA-made Delrin bushings
- Grease zerk fittings on all A-arms for easy maintenance
- 100% bolt-on installation
- Complete hardware package included
- Designed specifically for the Polaris Ranger XD 1500 platform
Increased Stability on the Trail
One of the biggest advantages of moving to a 72-inch-wide setup is improved stability. The wider footprint helps reduce body roll and increases driver confidence when navigating uneven terrain, off-camber trails, and rocky obstacles. For owners who use their Ranger XD 1500 for both work and recreation, the wider stance can make the machine feel more planted and predictable without sacrificing its versatility. 72-inch mid-travel systems developed for the Ranger XD platform have become increasingly popular among enthusiasts looking to bridge the gap between utility and recreation.
Perfect Foundation for Premium Shocks
The Cedar Suspension Co. Mid-Travel Kit provides an excellent foundation for upgraded shock packages from companies such as Suspension Direct Inc. Pairing quality suspension components with properly tuned shocks can significantly improve ride comfort, control, and performance while maintaining the Ranger XD’s impressive towing and hauling capabilities.
