FOX 2.0 QS3 Shocks for Polaris Ranger XD 1500 Rear
Product Description
The FOX 2.0 QS3 shocks for Polaris Ranger XD 1500 deliver a major suspension upgrade for riders who want improved ride quality, enhanced control, and increased durability across demanding terrain. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, these FOX Performance Series shocks dramatically improve the suspension capability of your Ranger XD 1500 for both work and recreational off-road use.
FOX Podium 2.0 QS3 shocks replace the factory emulsion shocks with a high-performance monotube design featuring an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) housed inside the piggyback reservoir. This system separates the nitrogen charge from the shock oil, preventing aeration and maintaining consistent damping performance even when the suspension is repeatedly cycling through washboards, rocks, and uneven terrain.
Piggyback reservoirs increase oil capacity and improve cooling efficiency, allowing the shocks to maintain stable damping performance during extended rides or heavy-duty workloads. FOX’s velocity-sensitive damping technology improves suspension response, helping maintain stability and control across challenging off-road conditions.
The QS3 Quick Switch compression adjuster allows drivers to quickly tune suspension performance to match terrain conditions, vehicle load, or driving style. Use the softest setting for smooth trails or crawling terrain, increase compression when hauling gear or passengers, or select the firmest setting for aggressive riding and improved bottom-out protection.
Built for durability, FOX shocks feature Type III hard-anodized aluminum bodies, piggyback reservoirs, and hard-chromed shafts designed to resist corrosion and wear. They are also fully rebuildable and re-valvable, allowing riders to service or fine-tune their suspension for long-term performance.
