Better shocks for 2015 Polaris sportsman aTV
I just bought a 2015 Polaris sportsman sage green. I need to know what kinda shocks I can put on it so I can jump alittle on it . The trails we ride have sharp burns followed by small jumps . I don't think it's really made to be jumped but I like to get it there. Any suggestions would be appreciated .

I assume its a 570 correct? No utility quads were ever meant for jumping but the stock suspension can handle small jumps. I've gotten a little air on my Grizzly and it soaks it up just fine. Would I take it on a motocross track. Well, no of course. But if there is a little bump in the trail, most can handle it. Just don't get too carried away and try to get crazy air.

Stock Sachs shocks are more than adequate for the average rider. Weak point on most are the springs. You can always set the adjuster on the rears up and spacers on the front to stiffen things up if need be. If that's not good enough for you plenty of aftermarket heavy duty springs.Products - ATV / UTV - Suspension Springs - Polaris - EPI

Thanks guys. I was worried the stock shocks wouldn't hold up. I asked also because my left rear tire look like its leaning in a bit . The right looks straight up and down . Any ideas on that ? Can you tell me if I should take the traction bar off riding on tight berms lots of little jumps , mud , up hill down hill and all as fast as I can go . Can't let the motorcycles get to far ahead of me .
