Owners who ride creek bottoms and wooded trails usually notice both problems the same season.<\/p>\n<p>SuperATV&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/polaris-ranger-and-bobcat-hc-fwd-offset-control-arms\">Polaris Ranger Midsize 500 High Clearance 2&#8243; Forward Offset A-Arms<\/a>, available at Wild Boar ATV Parts, are a set of two arms built to address both. They come with the hardware needed to install them.<\/p>\n<h2>Why forward offset<\/h2>\n<p>Forward offset moves the front wheels ahead of their stock position. On the Ranger Midsize 500 that means 2 inches of extra space between the tire and the back of the wheel well. That extra room is a big part of what lets this kit fit tires up to 28 inches without rubbing when you turn and the suspension compresses. Pushing the wheels forward also stretches the wheelbase a little, which many riders like for climbing.<\/p>\n<h2>High clearance design<\/h2>\n<p>High clearance arms are shaped to give you more room underneath than a flat stock arm. On a machine that gets dragged across stumps, ruts and rocks, that extra space can be the difference between rolling over an obstacle and getting hung up on it.<\/p>\n<h2>Built heavier than stock<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>1.25 inch tubing, 25 percent larger than stock<\/li>\n<li>Uses the stock A-arm bushings<\/li>\n<li>UV-resistant powder coat finish<\/li>\n<li>Backed by SuperATV&#8217;s lifetime warranty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Larger tubing matters when you add bigger tires. Taller, heavier tires put more leverage on the arms every time you hit something, and a stock arm can bend. Reusing the factory bushings keeps the install simple.<\/p>\n<h2>Installation notes<\/h2>\n<p>SuperATV describes this kit as easy to install, and most riders with basic hand tools can handle an arm swap in the garage. Support the machine safely, take one side at a time, and check your alignment afterward. When you go to 28 inch tires, plan for the extra load on axles and other drivetrain parts too.<\/p>\n<p>Forward offset also changes where the tire sits in relation to the fender and the cab. Turn the wheel lock to lock after install and cycle the suspension if you can, so you know your new tires clear everywhere on your Ranger Midsize 500.<\/p>\n<p>This set is listed for the Polaris Ranger Midsize 500. Polaris built several Ranger variants, so confirm your model and year before ordering.
