Save yourself a lot of trouble and call Shock Therapy. Get thier 3+ kit and you don't need to revalve the shocks.

 

Shock therapy was an option for me but I don’t really want to pay 750$ for some springs when what I’ve mentioned above only costs around 300$.

 

I get the cost thing but trying to piece together a spring package and"hoping" it works ok is a lot different than buying a proven product developed specifically for your application.

 

The front springs won't work on the rear shocks, the rear shocks use 3.5 or 3.75 springs. You will need to buy new springs for around 100 dollars each, plus you'll need crossover rings for around 150- 200 dollars and the adapter to run the 3.75 spring in place of a 3.5 spring. I have priced this out every which way I can think of and I have not been able to find a way that is any cheaper than Shock Therapy especially with the 5% forum discount.
If you can't afford to do the whole thing at once then start with the rear since it is the worst then take care of the front.

 

Does anyone know the inner diameter of the front and rear coils.

 

The fronts are 3 inch and the rears are 3.5 inch. Most of the replacement rear springs will be 3.75 inch.

 

The front springs are 3" ID and the rear are 3.5" ID so they cannot be interchanged.

Generally a 3" coilover like the rear shock on the RZR uses a 3.75" ID spring. For some reason Polaris chose to use 3.5 which neither PAC or Eibach make. Eibach uses adapters to run standard 3.75" ID springs in the rear. You could try and run a 3.75" ID spring over the stock 3.5" lower but it would fit sloppy on the stock divider and I wouldn't recommend it.

 

Yeah I wouldn’t want that I just wished that shock therapy would provide a kit for the rear as that’s the worst part. It would make things much more affordable and allow me to do the front at a later time.

 

Another ST vote from a guy who broke his back in my turbo from bottoming out before I let ST do their thing! Don’t be like me and wish u did it sooner..

 

Retainers for ID Polaris spring,there is no after market I could find. You will spend more money trying to buy a spring that won’t fit then getting a kit. If you want spring crossovers and retainers go with Eibach or shock therapy. The reason your tender springs are at coil bind is because both tender and main spring are cheap. No secret this is a cost savings for Polaris. If you just need ground clearance rzr aid has tender spring that works with stock retainers I believe and maybe most cost effective. If you want true dual rate go with a reputable spring/shock company for UTVs. Personally I have Eibach spring kit no re re-valve. Other companies have the same option in stages.

 

Different shops use different spring rates. We customize every spring sale to fit the costumers current and future suspension needs.
If you have, and plan to stay with stock shock valving, then most of the “spring Kits” available cater to the STOCK VALVING SET UP! And what about that huge spare tire an owner is thinking about mounting on that rear ? And Yeti ? Full of libations? Tools? Gear?
This should be thought about when it comes to spring rate choices!
The spring kits are great and easy and not complicated, but most of the “kits” spring rates are more of a bandage to help or improve the ride of the stock shock valving.
So, if and when someone decides to go with a full revalve and set up, your stock valving spring rates are mostly not going to match up. I get these all the time. Spring rates that are to soft or over firm to fit our specs to get the most out of the suspension job.

The bummer here also, Some shops and vendors don’t, and won’t give you the rates of their springs. It’s a big secret? Lol. So guess what? All new springs must be purchased with a full shock job. And I leave the printed rates on our Eibach Springs and paper work. So you know exactly what your getting when it comes to spring rates.

Who ever an owner goes with for products should ask ahead and make sure the springs or other products will match up to that future spare tire? Or extra gear? Or especially the shock job someone may want later?
Other wise you may have a sad face when you realize the earlier purchased springs rates are an unknown or just don’t match up to get optimum performance out of your expensive shock job.
Owners should work this out with their Prefered suspension shop!
