You might be surprised on this one! Recently I bought a 2022 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Northstar Ultimate machine. And after reading some Polaris Ranger forums I discovered that there are 2 different shock mounting brackets that the shocks and springs can be mounted on. The information was that if mounted on the 'inside' position you'd get a softer ride, but lower ground clearance. And conversely, if the shocks were mounted on the 'outside' position you could increase your ground clearance up to nearly an inch, but have a stiffer ride. Well, today I think we will dispel that myth! Join us for today's Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Northstar Ultimate vlog! Thanks for joining us, and I hope to see you soon on my follow up riding video to see if in fact, the new suspension mounting will improve the ride or not! Thanks for joining us today!

Need the typical load in it, to accurately compare the GC. Probably sag more on the inside position.

It seems higher because you let ot off the jack and did drive it to settle the springs

Good that the softer shock position didn't alter the ground clearance very much.

Yes that's for sure it did ride softer however I had four adults in there which might have made it smoother

Joe the tires are very hard...I think that’s part of the issue.

hmm, after I test drive it I'll know if/how well it worked. Might look at air pressure then next. All I know is the 19 is way more plush of a ride so far, but have not tested it yet.

@@kapperoutdoors I think the 8 ply pro-armor tires are very hard. Polaris tires are typically hard on their premium machines. I thought you changed the tires on the 2019?

Have you adjusted the shocks? The usually are delivered on the lowest notch, twist them all the way for the highest setting if yiu haven't already
@kapperoutdoors
@kapperoutdoors 2 жыл бұрын
I want them on the lowest setting, lol. I want the smoothest ride possible, not worried about clearance. I do need to double check but pretty sure they are on the softest setting. Thanks

Yes it was smoother however I had four guys in the machine so I haven't ridden it solo yet the heavier weight might have made a smoother ride

Watch messing around too much with the "Play Pretty". Don't need unnecessary malfarctions happening to it.

If the ride changes as much as the height.....you wasted all that effort!!

lol no doubt! But the ride on the 19 is much smoother, so I'm hoping I will notice it!
