TF230001 | Ranger 1500 XD FOX Shock Set - OEM Upgrade

×

The FOX Performance Series 2.0 Podium QS3 shock kit is a direct bolt-on replacement for your stock Polaris Ranger 1500 shocks and springs. Take your Ranger from a capable utility vehicle to a full-on sport vehicle to tackle the kind of off-road terrain that will leave you grinning ear to ear.


The Podium 2.0 QS3 shocks replace your stock emulsion shocks with an internal floating piston (IFP) system housed in the piggyback reservoirs to keep the gas charge from mixing with the shock oil. This keeps the oil from effectively thinning out and losing damping control as the shocks get worked over washboards, rocks, and big dips.


The springs on the Ranger’s stock shocks are fairly soft to give you a comfortable ride. We wanted to retain that level of comfort but also keep you from bottoming out at speed over the rough stuff. Using a combination of sophisticated valving and spring rate, we were able to ride trails we normally test aggressive sport UTVs without bottoming but still enjoy a ride as smooth as stock.


The Quick Switch 3-position compression damping adjustment allows you to quickly set your shocks to adapt to your riding conditions. Set the QS3 to setting 1 for the softest ride on smoother trails or rock crawling. Setting 2 firms things up a bit if you’re carrying extra passengers or gear. Setting 3 gives you bottom-out protection when you put your foot down and catch some air off a dune or sprint off into the desert.


Beyond the extra capability you gain after bolting on a set of FOX Podium 2.0 QS3 shocks, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that they’re ruggedly built with hard-anodized aluminum bodies and reservoirs that resist corrosion, 5/8-inch hard chromed shafts for smooth operation and longer seal life, and are fully rebuildable if you ever damage a part or want to get them custom-valved for a specific riding application.

DESCRIPTION

If you're looking to take your Polaris Ranger 1500 XD to the next level, look no further than Thumper Fab's Long Travel Kit. This Long Travel Kit provides greatly improved suspension geometry, larger tire clearance, and improved ride quality. Perfect for extreme trails and provide unmatched performance regardless of the terrain. Strength. Style. Great Ride! 

 

Why a boxed A-Arm design?

A boxed arm will give you increased torsional strength for the strongest control arm design possible. There is more to a Thumper Fab boxed control arm than meets the eye. Underneath the steel cladding is a skeleton design that adds strength exactly where you need it and saves weight. Strength is important but unnecessary weight increases your unsprung mass and reduces your shock’s ability to compensate. The Thumper Fab design adds strength and reduces weight for optimal ride quality.  



 

Easy Installation: 

 

We offer professionally installed bushings and ball joints for easy installation. When you select the options below, we take the hassle out of pressing in your bushings and ball joints yourself. Utilizing our precision press operation, we are able to ensure your bushings and ball joints are correctly installed and not hammered or pressed in a way that would reduce their quality and lifespan.  

 

Uniball – Our uniball bearing replaces the use of a ball joint for extreme levels of performance and strength. Commonly used in harsh racing conditions. Our patent pending control arm design allows you to run either a uniball or a ball joint for your desired use! 

 

Reuse bushings and ball joints – You also have the option to reuse your OEM bushings and ball joints. Maybe your Ranger 1500 XD is brand new or in great shape. Our patent pending control arms allow the choice to reuse your OEM hardware. We do recommend professional installation and the use of a press to ensure your original equipment can be removed and installed without damage.   

 


 

Complete Axle Replacement: 


We make it EASY to install this entire kit! We provide complete Cobra Axle replacement axles with inner and outer CVs that come fully assembled. Both of these axles are COMPLETE with no need to disassemble and reassemble your OEM axles with longer bars. Rzeppa style CV’s that will achieve high angles, articulate freely with no binding and extend further than stock axles. We use the highest quality CV boots to keep the elements out and the grease in. 

 

Axle Options:  

 

Cobra HD 

  • Oversized components featuring our propriety combination of materials for a well-balanced, cost-effective axle. 
  • Rzeppa style CV’s that will achieve high angles, articulate freely with no binding and extend further than stock axles.
