Polaris RZR Radius Rods / 2017.5+ (12mm Bolts)
Description
The LM-UTV Polaris RZR High Clearance Radius Rods are a direct bolt-on upgrade engineered for 2017.5+ RZR 1000 and 2017-2018 RZR Turbo (64" width, 2/4 seat) owners who demand more from their machine. Machined from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum and built entirely in-house in the USA, these rods deliver a significant improvement in ground clearance over the factory units while maintaining a clean, precise fit that works with the OEM rear bumper.
Where most competitors cut corners with nylon-injected races, LM-UTV uses premium Teflon-lined (PTFE) 3-piece Chromoly 5/8 bearings with F1 fitment on all bearing surfaces - a choice that pays dividends in durability and smoothness under real trail and race conditions. Whether you're bashing rocks on the weekend or putting serious miles on your RZR, these radius rods are built to outlast the factory parts and protect your investment with a lifetime warranty.

FAQ
Will these radius rods fit my 2017 RZR 1000 (non-.5)?
These rods are designed for 2017.5+ RZR 1000 models and 2017-2018 RZR Turbo. The 2017 (pre-.5) model uses a different bolt configuration and may not be compatible. If you're unsure of your exact build date or model variant, contact LM-UTV's support team directly - they can confirm fitment before you order.
What makes these better than OEM radius rods?
The factory radius rods are known to have clearance limitations and use lower-grade hardware. LM-UTV's billet aluminum high clearance design raises the lower arms to reduce rock strikes, and the PTFE-lined Chromoly bearings far outperform the OEM bushings in durability and articulation. Many customers replace the stock rods specifically to address recurring issues with the factory parts.
Do I need any special tools or modifications to install these?
These are a direct bolt-on replacement using the existing 12mm bolt locations, so no drilling or frame modification is required. Basic hand tools and mechanical familiarity with your RZR's suspension are recommended. The kit also fits with the OEM rear bumper, so no bumper swap is needed.
What finish options are available, and is there a price difference?
Yes - the Machine Finish is the base option, while Black Powder Coat and a full range of color powder coat options (including Polaris Red, Polaris Blue, Ghost Grey, Stealth Grey, Lifted Lime, Lime Squeeze, Zenith Blue, Orange Madness, and Polaris Matte Military Tan) are available at an additional cost. Color options allow you to match or contrast with your RZR's factory colorway.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
LM-UTV's lifetime warranty covers manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship. To make a claim, you'll need to email photos of the damaged item, your proof of purchase, and your contact information to LM-UTV's support team. Note that customers are responsible for return shipping costs, and in most cases the damaged item must be returned before a replacement is issued.
