Our 2015 Ranger XP 900 Buildup
Hey guys,
We bought our Ranger this year for our RV Park, but now that it's winter time, it's time to play with it. We have a cool place to ride out in Iowa called MIOBI (Make It Or Break It), and during the winter we live in East TN. So, Windrock is where we play most of the time during the winter. The first weekend at MIOBI I broke the Polaris flip-up glass windshield, so a new one is arriving Monday from Babbitt's. That was an expensive first trip out...lol.
I haven't wheeled a Ranger since my first UTV, which was a 2007 Polaris Ranger 700...wow, what a difference Polaris has made over the years! Nevertheless, we went to Windrock this past weekend, and here's a short list of the upgrades I'm planning for it:
1) Factory UTV Full Skid Plates with Rock Sliders (Installed this past week)
2) Outkast Fabworx 3" Full Lift & Arched Arms (Arrived this week)
3) STI 15x7" 4+3 HD4's (15.5lbs)
4) 30x9.5x15" BFG All Terrain TA KO2 Tires (38.8lbs) (Tires/Wheels are mounted and balanced)
5) ECU Re-Flash (Need help deciding which one to go with)
6) Polaris 6K Winch (Ordered, but hasn't arrived)
7) Clutch Kit (I've run DDP and Bikeman in the past, but am open to suggestions)
We bought the Ranger with the full Polaris Cab with power windows, heater, and hydraulic dump bed. It's like a mini jeep, and my little 3 year old Zach loves it! I like to rock crawl the hardest trails I can find, so I'm sure I'll break a bunch of other stuff that will need beefing up in the near future...most likely axles...I've run rhinos and gorilla's in the past, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my little guy on his Polaris 50...gotta train him up early. They start racing these quads in Iowa at 4 years old...crazy!

I appreciate you doing that. I'm just getting started on your buildup thread...extremely impressive by the way. We are essentially saying the same thing, and I was just curious if anyone made any measurements of ride height at say softest preload with outkast arms versus similar preload with stock arms. The same would be nice at max preload, but I'll make sure I do it when I do my install. Now back to reading your thread.

Thanks to teshreve's thread, he just cost me another $310 for the garage products bushings.
