RZRAid Tender Springs Review For The Polaris RZR XP 1000

[@ALLTHINGZUTVCOM]

Thank you for the great review!

[@XMARGH]

Your welcome, its a great product at a great price point.

[@scorchearth5808]

Hey!!! I have a question. I have a 2019 RZR XP 4 Turbo, all 4 tender springs are tight, 0 room in there. I weight over 400 lbs and my wife weighs 180lbs and my daughter is 150 lbs and I have around 200lbs of gear. Thats including roof, nerf bars, cooler, etc.... Do you think these RZRAid tender springs will still do the job or am I too heavy for this quality. Reason I ask I don't want to spend 350$ just to have to go too a company like shock therapy and pay 800$ and waste that 350$. Your thoughts on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

@@scorchearth5808 great question man. I also have a lot of accessories on my RZR and carry a lot of gear on longer rides. My RZR weighs almost 2200lbs loaded without me in it. That's about 600lbs over stock. 800-1000 over stock with me and a passenger.

Thanks you for the tip on the shocks, I will look into them as well. Great video on the spring tenders.

Thank you!

Great video! Exactly the information I was looking for. I also have a 2018 RZR Highlifter ( 2 seater) and will be doing this spring swap ASAP!

[@XMARGH]

TexasEdition06 Glad you found the video helpful! It’s a great upgrade, I’m very happy with it.

Really enjoy the videos! After watching a few last night looking for projects to do while we’re stuck at home I contacted Terry at cutterloose today and ordered tender springs and secondary rollers for my xp 1000! I’ll be ordering a clutch kit next 👍🏼 thanks for the great content and keeper up man!

Thank you for the terrific review, I just ordered some for my 2019 RZR RS1, all four tender springs are completely squashed, worthless. I didn't want to spend $800 plus tax and shipping for shock therapy springs. I just wanted some replacement tender springs that would give me a more comfortable ride when I'm trail riding. These tenders springs should do the trick.

[@XMARGH]

Pat I think you’ll enjoy those tenders on your RS1!

[@joshuadehn9781]

Just finished installing new tenders for my 900S, excited to try out this bigger tenders in the front since the front originally doesn’t have tenders! But somehow manage to brake a rear sway bar mount somehow...

[@XMARGH]

Hope your enjoying your new tenders! They made a huge difference in my RZR.

[@StephenBrewer89]

Big help! I have heard people using 4 seater front tender springs in the front and taking the 2 seater springs and put them in the rear. I like what you did though!

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

Good video man. I think I'm gonna get a set of these for my Turbo. They are sooo much cheaper than all the other brands too.

[@XMARGH]

Well worth the money! Great part is with Terry you won’t get hit with border fees for a set. Should be able to find a color that matches right up to your turbo! Btw love the channel I watch a lot of your videos!

@@XMARGH Thanks man! Stoked you enjoy the videos. Nice to see more of us Canadian representing the SXS game! I have an American address, my parents live in the United States so I ship most of my parts there. Where abouts in Canada are you man?

AdrenalineJunkieProd Just North of you. I’m in the Timmins/Cochrane, Ontario area. Thought about getting a hold of you next year to see if we could work out something to get our group out riding with you. We have a bunch of X3’s and RZR’s in our group.

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

XMARGH let’s make it happen man! I’m down. I’d love to meet more locals to ride with. Keep me in the loop and we can get together. I’m even down for some winter wheeling.

[@alekstephens3538]

Was a great help was looking at a High Lifter but worried about ride quality

[@XMARGH]

Glad I could Help! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@probumoff-roadadventures2332]

OK bought RZR aid springs for my 2019 highlifter and back ones went on smoothly. Putting the front ones on are impossible to compress the main spring that tight to get the collar on. The tender springs are all the same size which i dont understand. Any help would be appreciated.

[@XMARGH]

You have to compress the front springs tremendously to get enough room with the tender to slip in the cup. It’s doable. Yes all 4 are the same size, that’s what AllThingzUTV sends in their Walker Evan kits.

[@davegalbraith7907]

Thanks for the helpful video, I have 2 place 2019 HighLifter with 32in Rampages and I found the ride like an old cattlecar. Cutter Loose springs have been out of stock for awhile so I ordered from HighLifter their tender spring kit specific for my model/yr of RZR. The included instructions show only shocks that are different (need a spring compressor)? Nothing at all about preload. With your explanation of preload and recommended ride stance via Polaris. Im going to give these springs a whirl.

[@XMARGH]

Glad you found the video helpful. I think I just seen Cutterloose received a batch of new springs, you may want to check in again.

[@zbw8785]

I have a question.. where the big spring ends are the tenders supposed to begin lined up with the end of the big spring or on the opposite side?

[@XMARGH]

Rule of thumb is completely opposite ends of each other or 90 degrees.

[@zbw8785]

[@patdudley7635]

I ride a Turbo S Dynamix (2020) . tenders were collapsed when I bought it. I use it for scrambling and the odd jump. Would just the tender spring upgrade be worth it or better to have the complete set ? Not that I can afford the full set 😂

[@XMARGH]

It will probably help to soften the ride up. my current Turbo S Velocity I have Eibach DRS stage 3. You can’t knock a tender upgrade though it works well for how much they cost.

[@rynoj2]

How are the handling characteristics now after the spring install ie: high speed cornering on tighter trails and high speed cornering on Forrest service roads

[@XMARGH]

These are valid points but I can't give any feedback. The Outlaw 2 tires are an utter and complete handful in any high speed maneuvers. If I had the opportunity to switch to a set of trail tires I could give more feedback.

[@onewheat]

Good review - if you only paid $300. they've gone up a LOT in 4 years. Now I'm looking at $785 USD for the upgrade. That does include $90 for front spacers on a '17 XP though.

[@clitisoris]

Terry called me today to let me know my set will be Arrington at my doorstep soon. Kinda worried about the 2" lift kit I put in it already, sitting just over 18.5" in the front already on my 2015 RZR 900s. Going to be a little tippy I think.

[@XMARGH]

clitisoris You have the option to dial down your preload to a reasonable level on your suspension so you don’t sit so high.

[@clitisoris]

@@XMARGH Just installed them yesterday, will likely crank em down another half inch. It barely clears my garage door now!!

[@XMARGH]

clitisoris Sitting on 32.5” OL2’s I clear my 7ft door by less then an inch. I guess that’s my limit for height!

[@clitisoris]

@@XMARGH me too, could also take my lift kit out if I have to.im riding on 30s.

[@marcrobichaud5238]

Great stuff, will be ordering a pair of tenders with cutterloose.ca ... Noticed you have a mud flat in front? is that a polaris part number ??

[@XMARGH]

Yes it is! I just don't happen to have the number sorry.

[@bcfmef]

it will even ride better if you put some crossover rings on the front shocks

[@XMARGH]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@MasaCheez]

Awesome vid. Thank you so much. One question. How in the heck do you keep your RZR that clean? Mine is filthy after every ride.

[@XMARGH]

Check out this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKK4oaiPesxqbsU The only thing I have changed is I used a combination of 303 and Ceramic Spray Wax now.

[@MasaCheez]

@@XMARGH thank you VERY much for the reply!

[@williamwilson2018]

I put a set of these on my 2018 RZR HL and ordered the HD Spring Rate version. I have about 20" of ground clearance with about 1/8" preload left. My rear is currently setting at 17.5". Did yours have to settle first? FYI I am running 32" ITP Mayhems that actually measure to be 32.75"

[@XMARGH]

William Wilson The rear of the RZR will never lift as high as the front will. The front won’t settle either. You’ll have to back down the fronts till you get to around 18.25” You want .5” to .75” higher in front then rear.

[@marcusbertram8475]

Where do you personally take ride height measurements from?

[@XMARGH]

Bottom of the frame. You can also use the middle of the control arm bolts as a reference as well. As long as you keep using the same reference point it doesn't really matter.

[@eugeneroyer9100]

Really enjoyed your xmargh viedo. I just purchased a 2015 rzr from private owner. He had purchased just the front 2 sring tender swap kit and installed them, no rears. My problem when I ride on a local trial thats very rocky the front end seems like its bottoming out on frame. If I adj these down more like inch on front would that reduce bottoming? It rides really good on regular roads and handles good there.

[@XMARGH]

You only have so much ground clearance, yes you can turn the adjusters downwards to create more lift, but it might ride rougher on regular roads. Also be aware that shock oil gets worn down and nitrogen can leak from the shocks making them less effective over time as well. Most RZR shocks are rebuildable, which means they can be serviced by changing the oil and adding proper amount of nitrogen.

[@richardstadler9188]

How much has urs dropped since doing these springs at that preload?

[@XMARGH]

After installing these springs I only owned the machine 1 more year and I didn't have an issue with spring sag in that 1 year.

[@marcusshackford7871]

does the trails and rocks edition have a similar heavier spring setup or are they different as well? in noticed in the manual it was different so does that mean it's a different spring size?

[@XMARGH]

Marcus Shackford What does the manual list for pre loads on the trail & rock edition?

[@MrBobbyt20]

I’m getting these for my 21’ RZR XP 1000 (I have all stock parts and wheels). Does anybody have the same machine with the right preload measurements that I can use? I’m a little nervous about trying to figure those measurements out myself. Thanks!

[@XMARGH]

Start with the stock pre-load measurements and go from there. You are looking for the rear to sit .5"-.75" lower in rear then the front. I would aim for factory ground clearance.

[@MrBobbyt20]

@@XMARGH I will do that! Thanks! (and subscribed)

Scorch Earth That’s a very tough situation to answer yes or no based on I don’t have a lot of experience with a 4 seater machine and the kinds of loads you are carrying. I would encourage you to contact each vendor and get their opinions and see financially what makes sense.

[@scorchearth5808]

@@XMARGH Thank you for your feedback

[@colinhelt3904]

Scorch Earth did you end up buying a set of the RZR Aid tender springs? Or go with anything else like shock therapy? I have a 2015 RZR XP4 1000 and typically have 4 200lb people in the car so was just curious what you ended up doing if anything.

[@richardweihert6233]

Most importantly where did you get that hat? JK thanks for the review but interested in the hat.

[@newlion7013]

shock therapy all day!

[@AdrenalineJunkieProd]

I checked them out too. They make amazing product. You sure do pay for them though. I understand if you are racing or something it's really worth the extra coin for the quality but I just want to get a bit of a ride improvement and my clearance back for trail riding. Are the RZR Aid springs really that much worse for my needs??

[@XMARGH]

Shock Therapy is amazing but its at a very premium price for those who like to ride fast, jump big or ride at a completive level. This "Tender Spring" upgrade will fit 90% of the owners who drive SXS. I would have never installed more then Tender Springs on a Highlifter with big mud tires. My Turbo S is a whole different story.
