As the UTV market continues to evolve, owners are demanding more from their machines than ever before. Whether it’s exploring remote backcountry trails, tackling technical rock-crawling obstacles, or covering hundreds of miles on multi-day adventures, suspension performance has become one of the most important factors in overall vehicle capability. That’s where Cedar Suspension Co. has carved out its niche.
Based in Cedar City, Utah, Cedar Suspension Co. has rapidly become one of the most respected names in the UTV suspension industry. Known for innovative engineering, American-made quality, and products designed for real-world riders, the company has earned a loyal following among enthusiasts looking to improve ride quality, handling, and durability without sacrificing reliability.
Polaris Pro S Rock Series Suspension Kit
Born in the Heart of the Southwest
Few places offer a better proving ground for suspension development than Southern Utah. From the slickrock of Moab and Sand Hollow to the rugged mountain trails and desert terrain surrounding Cedar City, Cedar Suspension Co. has access to some of the most demanding off-road environments in the country.
Rather than relying solely on computer modeling, the company puts its products through extensive real-world testing. This hands-on approach allows engineers to fine-tune suspension geometry, optimize ride quality, and ensure components can withstand the punishment that serious UTV owners expect.
With decades of combined experience navigating the rugged terrain of Southern Utah and beyond, the Cedar Suspension Co. team brings a unique blend of engineering expertise and real-world off-road knowledge to every suspension system they design.
Polaris Pro R Desert Series Suspension Kit
Engineering for the Complete Vehicle
One of the key philosophies behind Cedar Suspension Co. products is maintaining a balanced vehicle package. Instead of simply chasing maximum suspension travel numbers, the company focuses on improving overall vehicle dynamics.
Their suspension systems are engineered to provide better ride comfort, increased control in rough terrain, improved stability, and enhanced durability while maintaining predictable handling characteristics. The result is a UTV that feels more capable and comfortable across a wide range of riding conditions.
This approach has resonated with owners who use their machines for everything from extreme rock crawling and fast-paced desert runs to weekend trail rides and hunting trips.
Expanding Product Lineup
Cedar Suspension Co. has continued to expand its product offerings to support many of today’s most popular utility and sport UTV platforms.
Can-Am Defender HD11 Mid-Travel Suspension Kit
Can-Am Defender HD11
The company has expanded support for the Can-Am Defender lineup with the all-new Defender HD11, bringing its suspension expertise to BRP’s next-generation utility platform. As the Defender HD11 gains popularity among recreational riders who want more from the utility-based machine, Cedar Suspension Co. is positioned to offer suspension solutions that help owners unlock even more capability from their vehicles. The company’s HD11 Mid-Travel Suspension Kit widens the Defender by utilizing longer suspension arms, increasing both suspension travel and vehicle stability. The wider stance improves cornering confidence and control in rough terrain, while the additional suspension travel helps absorb larger bumps and obstacles, delivering a smoother and more capable ride.
Polaris RZR Pro R Rock Kit
Polaris RZR Pro R Rock Kit
Cedar Suspension Co.’s Polaris RZR Pro S Rock Kit is designed to enhance both durability and capability in technical terrain. The system replaces the factory shock fork arrangement by mounting the shock directly to the lower control arm, creating a stronger and more robust suspension package while reducing stress on suspension components. In the rear, the kit incorporates a revised trailing arm design with a shortened toe-link, allowing the arm to be tucked higher for increased ground clearance and improved obstacle clearance. These changes help the Pro S better handle rocky trails, ledges, and demanding off-road conditions while preserving the vehicle’s balanced handling characteristics.
Can-Am Maverick X3 XRS Lower Shock Mount Suspension Kit
Can-Am Maverick X3
For Can-Am Maverick X3 owners pushing their machines in demanding terrain, Cedar Suspension Co.‘s Lower Shock Mount Suspension Kit delivers added confidence and durability where it’s needed most. Developed and tested in the rugged landscapes of Southern Utah, the heavy-duty arms are designed to resist bending and damage from rocks, ledges, and high-speed impacts while maintaining the precise handling and suspension performance that Maverick X3 owners expect. The result is a stronger, more capable suspension package built for everything from desert racing to technical trail adventures.
A key feature of Cedar Suspension Co.‘s Maverick X3 Lower Shock Mount Suspension Kit is its redesigned shock mounting configuration, which relocates the lower shock mount from the factory upper control arm position to the lower arm. This revised geometry reduces stress on the upper control arm, improves suspension leverage ratios, and allows the shocks to work more efficiently throughout the suspension’s travel. The result is improved ride quality, better small-bump compliance, increased suspension control in rough terrain, and enhanced durability for aggressive off-road use.
Additional offerings include suspension components, control arms, radius rods, and chassis upgrades engineered to withstand aggressive use in demanding terrain.

Partnering with Industry Leaders
A core part of Cedar Suspension Co.’s philosophy is that suspension performance is about more than individual components—it’s about creating a complete system where every part works together. While the company’s suspension kits are engineered to improve geometry, durability, travel, and vehicle dynamics, maximizing performance requires shocks that are specifically tuned to complement those changes.
SDi Terrain Master 2.1 Shocks
That’s why Cedar Suspension Co. works closely with premium shock manufacturers such as Suspension Direct Inc. (SDi). By pairing advanced suspension geometry with properly valved and tuned shock packages, customers benefit from a more refined suspension system that delivers improved ride quality, better control, increased comfort, and enhanced performance across a wide range of terrain.
