Worlds Cheapest long travel suspension | Turbo S suspension swap

How to install the cheapest long travel suspension on your Polaris RZR Turbo XP. We show you exactly what needs to be done to put Turbo S suspension parts onto your Turbo XP. Its a lot easier than I thought and requires very little fabricating. This can be the cheapest way to get a long travel kit on a Turbo RZR. The long travel makes your RZR ride better. It gives you more clearance. This is one of the best RZR upgrades Ive done so far.
Parts list
- Upper and Lower A arms for a Turbo S
- Trailing arms and lower radius rods for a Turbo S
- 2 ended adjustable upper radius rods for a Turbo S
- Tie rods, aftermarket or drilled knuckles to use stock Turbo S
- Rear limit straps (32in)
- Passenger side front brake line (Turbo S) and 7 banjo fitting washers
- Brake fluid to bleed the brakes after
- Bolts: 8 x 12mm bolts with nylon nuts, 4 x 70mm long and 4 x 100mm long
- 6in long piece of 1.5in x 1/8 flat bar to make tabs
- Turbo S bearing carriers or modify turbo ones.
- Turbo S axles
Total cost was under $1400 if I went stock turbo S bearing carriers. However the parts I took off sold used for around $1000.

Whew looks like a job.ha I remember when I owned a RZR I broke something every ride. Not busting on anyone but my krx is so far bullet proof.even though I no longer own a RZR I still watched entire video.good instructions

[@GrimRZR]

Thank you. It really wasn't that bad.

[@mccatdaddy]

Assuming you had an xp1k, there’s a huge price difference between it and a krx. I find it hard to complain about the strength of things on the xp1k when they are the cheapest full size utv

[@deslboy05dd]

I’m just about finished up with this swap on my 2020 XP turbo. This is the only KZbin video I’ve ever seen on doing this swap, other than a few videos doing the swap on an RS1. Great info from Grim RZR in this video, but I would like to add a few things to it: For the rear, if you opt to keep the XP rear hub carriers like I did, the factory Turbo S lower radius rods WILL NOT work. I ended up buying a set of Assault Industries +4” rods for the XP and these seem to work. On the front, the upper arms will need some grinding on the back side of the bushing mounts to clear the factory frame rail. The bracket he cut out in the video and fabricated is extremely hard to weld properly because you can’t get the welder gun on the backside to weld completely. It was nerve racking cutting the tab. Also, the Turbo S shock mount sits 1” farther out from where the arm mounts to frame, so the XP shock will limit travel at full droop. I learned Turbo S front shocks are longer than XP shocks.

[@GrimRZR]

Appreciate the info

[@infabprojects]

About to do this to 1000xp thanks for sharing the info about it!

[@GrimRZR]

There will be some differences but I'm not sure what all they will be. I think you will need some different brake parts and drill larger radius rod holes

[@infabprojects]

@@GrimRZR yea the brakes may be a problem since the turbo stuff is different but luckily I already have the m12 bolts in the radius plate they switched to those after 2016 I believe

[@GrimRZR]

@@infabprojects learning as I went and waiting for parts was the hardest part. If you could get everything ahead of time this is an easy job

Love the video great info I been looking for just 1 ? I have a 2019 xp 4 turbo what year parts should I look for, thank you for any info you can give.

[@GrimRZR]

I think all of the Turbo s parts are the same as far as suspension.

[@Hydecreeklogging]

Haven't seen the L&W stuff before. pretty sweet. I can see L&W billet radius rods and forward offset A arms with mega ball joints in my future. I'm surprised you were running stock tie rods. they're pretty weak, I've seen lots fail now.

[@GrimRZR]

L&W make great stuff. Good people over there. If you talk to them tell them you seen them in one of my videos.

[@collectiverestore1254]

Great video! Slowly gathering all the parts needed to execute. One question however, How’d you mount front upper and lower ball joints on the front hubs?

[@GrimRZR]

Same as before. I used my turbo front knuckles

[@thebigoutside9623]

That's sweet! Will you have an update video?

[@GrimRZR]

Yes. What would you like to see

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

A man will go through a ton of trouble for an extra 4inch's 😉

[@GrimRZR]

I wish it was this easy

[@deslboy05dd]

This video is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. So many people say it can’t be done. The only question I have is I still have my factory front XP diff and I’ve been told the splines are different from the Turbo S & RS1. So I’m thinking a factory front turbo S axle won’t work for me?

[@GrimRZR]

A 1000 has different splines. A turbo diff has the same splines as a turbo s. I think you can just replace the cups in a 1000 diff with turbo cups and make it work

[@deslboy05dd]

Does the front sway bar tabs from the turbo s front arms line up with the xp turbo sway bar?

[@GrimRZR]

@@deslboy05dd I don't know. Took my front sway bar off long ago.

[@deslboy05dd]

Was it difficult to get the welder gun up into the backside of that tab? I’m getting ready to commit and cut off the tab just like you did. Hoping I can get up in there to weld it completely. Do u have any other close up pics of the tab you dabbed up

[@joshhoover7466]

Good evening. So I assume I can just buy the turbo s cv's for all 4 corners with the turbo s arms do this mod and I'm good? This is my only snag. Need longer cv's attempting soon on my turbo xp.

[@GrimRZR]

Turbo s axles work for this.

[@jaredkillion3854]

Is there anything you would have done differently now? Im about to start on this project now

[@GrimRZR]

I have since changed to some high clearance trailing arms. That's about it

[@samwalker1304]

I guess my question would be, is it worth it? How much difference is there in ride and stability???

[@GrimRZR]

I've only ridden it once and can immediately tell the ride is more plush. What I wanted. For me I wish I would have done it a long time ago. Definitely worth it.

[@tayloredman6615]

In the process of doing my machine now. Did you come up with a solution for the front shocks yet? Wondering if we can get replacement bushings for the shocks to change them to accept 12mm bolts. Please let me know

[@GrimRZR]

I've been just riding it. After the holidays I will look back at it. I'm sure you could swap the hole end out on the shock or just weld some washers onto the a arms. My first thought was make adapter that serves as a bushing between the 10mm bolt and 12mm hole. A stepped washer

[@tayloredman6615]

So I just finished up my swap. I did come up with a solution for the shocks. Polaris part# 5135275. They are a 12MM to 10MM stepped reducer. You’ll need 2 per arm. Worked out flawlessly and now can run the factory 10mm bolts that came off the shocks

[@GrimRZR]

@@tayloredman6615 thank you for the info. I've been busy on other projects but that sounds perfect

[@AdrianGarcia-ku5uq]

Quick question, where did you find all these. Did you buy as a kit or pieced it out?

[@GrimRZR]

Pieces. Not a kit

[@BullittOutdoors]

Looks like you cut off the mount for swaybar bracket? Can it be retained?

[@GrimRZR]

I did on the front. I really didn't even look for a way to keep it since I have not run the front sway bar in forever. Not sure if you could keep it or not

[@GrimRZR]

For me I like the plush ride and don't hit many highspeed curves

[@deslboy05dd]

Did any of you guys doing this swap have issues with the toe in the rear. I’m in the process of doing the swap right now. I’m using the Assault Industries +4” radius rods from a Turbo XP. I got a measurement from a neighbors Turbo S factory lower radius rods and it was 28.75” center to center. I matched this for my lowers. When I got the lower and upper rods on it appears the hubs are tied out to much.

[@GrimRZR]

Not that I know of. Im not sure how much toe would be too much either. The toe changes throughout the suspension cycle also. Make sure to get measurements at ride height

[@deslboy05dd]

So I finally started working on the front upper arms. I’m having a hard time cutting out that tab and I’m concerned I won’t be able to get my welder in there to weld up the back side. Looks like I need to move the tab at least 1/4” back. Is this about how much you had to move it? Also did you notice the lower shock mount on the Turbo S is spaced out 1” farther on the arm so you will lose some droop because the arms won’t droop as far as the factory ones

[@southernapproach8864]

where did you get your limit straps and hardware for the rear?

[@GrimRZR]

Bought the limit strap from a shop down the street and just found some bolts that I had.

What’s your take after riding in it a few months now? Have you rode an actual S and compared them? I want to do this mod bad to my Turbo XP. But my biggest fear is the different size shocks.

[@GrimRZR]

I haven't rode much in a turbo s. For me the suspension is nice and plush. Just what I wanted

[@GrimRZR]

I love everything about the swap. Of course it would have been nice just to start with a turbo s but this was fairly easy and I'm happy the way it performs.

[@justintroy9827]

@@GrimRZR honestly, for the cost though. I see it as an easy and affordable option of getting the S in our regular turbo XP. Is it just the rear shocks that are longer or the front shocks too? Do the shock angles match up with what the turbo s would be?

@@justintroy9827 fronts work out okay. I'm running aftermarket tender springs and have cranked up the preload to get my ride height where I wanted. I would at least start with an inch to 1.5 inches
