INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 13, 2009 – Rancho® has released a new 6-in. longtravel suspension system for the popular 2008-09 Polaris Ranger RZR to deliver increased suspension travel, improved ground clearance and enhanced stability.

Available through performance retailers nationwide, the new race-inspired Rancho suspension system for the 2008-09 Polaris Ranger RZR (p/n RS10101) was designed and tested by Rancho, one of the world’s most recognized brands of off-road suspension components and accessories.

The Rancho Polaris Ranger RZR system (p/n RS10101) includes billet 6061 aluminum upper control 6-in.

Each Rancho Ranger RZR system includes popular Rancho® RS9000XL™ Pro Series Coil-Over Shocks, a race-proven, highly engineered shock design that has been custom engineered for popular UTV models. Rancho includes the front and rear shocks in the suspension upgrade kit.

The Rancho RZR system increases the A-arm width by six inches and the wheelbase by four inches (two inches added to the front and two inches added to the rear). The system provides 13 inches of wheel travel to the UTV.
