Introduction
Let's face it, when your side-by-side (SSV, SxS) rolls off the showroom floor it's not ready for the punishment you're going to throw at it. Plus, manufacturers are stubborn when it comes to fixing known problems - sometimes waiting years to incorporate fixes to well known problems. But upgrading your SSV/SxS doesn't necessarily mean you're fixing a problem part, it can mean improving a stiff ride, or strengthening weak points in the chassis. Using this guide, we'll help you identify some of the common body and chassis upgrades we see for Can-Am X3, Defender, Commander and Maverick Sport as well as Polaris RZR, Ranger and General side by sides. Keep in mind, that these are the most commonly found machines and if you're running a Yamaha RMAX, CFMoto Zforce or another SSV, the same recommendations apply, it just might be a little harder to find the upgrade
