My 13 900 single seat has different shocks than a 15 900 crew? If so are the crew front and rear shocks heavier duty than mine?

 

[WFO]

Not sure on shocks, but the front springs are different.

 

[SlimRockett]

Shocks prolly the same but are the spring rates made to carry heavier loads not that I want to carry a big load I just want the height I have with my springs all the way stiff just thought I could get crew springs and let the stiffness down a notch or two.

 

[WFO]

No idea on the rates, but if you look at them, a crew has springs that are the same size at all four corners, which look to be the same size as the rear on a regular cab 900, but the front springs are smaller in diameter.....that being said, a crew sets almost 3/4" lower stock, than a regular cab....

The shocks are the same for both units, the springs and spring rates are different.
Spring free length is the same for both.

This information is incorrect.

Toxic-21 I have a friend wanting to sell me all his suspension and axles off a 15 900 crew will it all fit my 13 900 single seat?

The rear A arms both upper and lower will work.
The front A arms upper are the same, the lower have a different part number, but I believe that is due to the different size cv boot guards. ( They should also work).
All axels are the same.
Shocks are the same both front and rear.
Springs will also work, you will just have a little stiffer ride. To give you the spring rates I would need his model number off his mfg tag.
Reason being, spring rates are different depending on model.

 

[SlimRockett]

Ok that's what I needed to know. Thanks!

 

[WFO]

This information is incorrect.

Which part?

 

[Toxic-21]

Which part?

All of it except the part about the crew sitting 3/4 of an inch lower than the standard cab. I'm not positive on that one.

Slim, keep in mind the OEM shocks are poor at best, if I had a chance to get some extras cheap I would be all over them too.

But your suspension will work better with a set of aftermarket shocks and dual spring design. This way you can control your compression and rebound, also you will have more spring rate choices to tailor it to your riding style and application.

Take a look at Kings website.

Yeah for the money a new set of shocks would be better I just thought if I got all of his suspension I would have spare parts for sale or for me he wants $500 for all suspension and LE rims and pxt tires not a bad deal.

May be interested in some parts if you decide to sell some.

Well I guess you know.......but my statement holds true for the Rangers around here.....and the about the 3/4" difference, its in the owners manual....

 

[rm900]

wfo is correct on the springs and if you want to lower your ranger then you would want to put on crew springs....

Ok I'm listening, please explain.

Right here you answered it yourself, shocks are same and as you stated the a-arms are the same.....The springs and spring rates are different, therefore a different ride height. If spring rates are different then free length doesn't equate. Pull a crew and xp side by side and take a look.

OK, you win!

WOW.....
