Install ATV Suspension Accessories for Long Trips

Go Further with the Best Power-Adding ATV Gear

Good to know: owners who install foundational safety gear and select upgrades frequently enjoy double the number of safe riding days each season.

American Off-Roads makes it easy to shop U.S.-based, performance-focused upgrades that count. We curate trusted brands and ship parts nationwide ATV mudding accessories so you can boost throttle response, steering feel, and service life without guessing.

Common upgrades include cargo bags, LED light bars, rearview mirrors, handguards, skid plates, luggage racks, intake and exhaust parts, and bumpers for protection. With routine maintenance, many quads reach 10,000–12,000 miles, and careful upkeep can keep machines running for 20 years.

Kick off with intake and exhaust plus protection that let you ride longer and worry less. Pair power parts with skid plates and bumpers to guard your investment. Keep rider protection in the plan: a helmet, eye protection, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots keep rides enjoyable and safe.

Performance-Enhancing ATV Gear

Sort upgrades by impact so you can build upgrades that matter fast.

Kick off with intake/filtration and exhaust to wake up throttle response and enhance airflow. These high-impact parts give the most reliable gains for most riders.

Add lighting upgrades next to see better after dark. LED solutions use less power and throw light farther for better trail visibility.

Protect the chassis with skid plates, A-arm guards, and bumpers. Armor minimizes costly damage so power gains are preserved.

Need more clearance? Lift kits plus spacers enable larger tires and stabilize handling. Pair lifts/spacers with brakes and suspension for predictable control.

  • Match rider gear to your pace, from basic protection to advanced protection.
  • Use category pages to compare compatible products and parts by model to avoid mismatches.
  • Watch sale listings to save on combos that blend power, armor, and lighting.
Category Primary Benefit When to Shop
Intake/Filters Sharper throttle First upgrade
Exhaust Systems Improved flow & torque Alongside intake
Lighting/Armor Visibility and protection Any time; pair with power

Power & Throttle: Intake, Filters, Exhaust

Basic airflow upgrades often deliver the most noticeable improvements for common trail scenarios.

High-flow air intake and filters for immediate gains

Quality filters and high-flow intakes open up airflow. That sharpens throttle response and smooths delivery.

American Off-Roads shows model-by-model fitment so you get parts that match your atv utv. If you have questions, our team can advise quickly with model-specific tips.

Exhaust systems tuned for torque and sound

Select an exhaust for your style. Pick torque-tuned systems if you tow or haul or favor steep climbs.

Consider matched intake/exhaust kits for balanced gains and easier installs. Always check fuel mapping and keep filters clean in dusty conditions.

  • High-flow intake/filter combos sharpen throttle and keep delivery consistent on mixed terrain.
  • Choose exhausts balancing torque, tone, and compliance for long days.
  • Use matched kits for smoother installs and predictable outcomes.
  • Protect gains with proper cooling, underbody protection, and regular service.
Part Key Benefit Best Timing
Air Intake Better airflow First upgrade
Air Filter Stable delivery Install with intake
Exhaust Torque and tone Post-intake

See & Be Seen: LED Lighting

Smart lighting choices improves visibility and lowers fatigue.

Pick lighting for your terrain and pace. American Off-Roads stocks proven LED light bars, compact LED pods, and mount kits to help you install neatly. Our team can recommend mounts, harnesses, and fits so your build remains clean and reliable.

LED Bars, Pods & Mounting

Use LED bars for distance and width and pods for tight/technical areas. Mounts vary—front bumper plates, A-arm mounts, and roof brackets are common choices. Plan placement to protect lenses from brush and strikes.

Night riding on trails: brighter beams, safer rides

Match beam patterns to terrain: spot = distance, flood = near spread, combo for mixed trails. Right lighting sharpens reaction time and reduces rider fatigue on long night runs.

LED light installation and wiring basics

Verify amp draw, use a relay harness, and use weatherproof connectors. Keep cables clear of pinch points and carry spare fuses. Verify local rules for auxiliary lighting.

  • Choose efficient light bars and compact pods to save battery draw.
  • Assess spot/flood/combo for your typical trails.
  • Pair lights with mirrors and skid plates for full situational awareness.
  • Look for bundles that include bars + mounts + harnesses.
Option Best Use Key Feature
Full-length bars Fast, open trails Long throw spot or combo beams
Compact pods Tight technical sections Wide flood patterns, low draw
Mount kits & harnesses Clean installs across models Relays, weatherproof connectors, fuse holders

Protect the Machine: Skids, A-Arm Guards, Bumpers

A tough underbody package adds confidence on rocky lines and brushy routes.

American Off-Roads can help you choose armor and bumpers that fit your machine and the terrain you tackle most. Riders regularly see durability gains after adding full skids and A-arm guards.

Full underbody skid plate kits for rocky trails

Choose full-coverage plate kits to shield the frame, differentials, and mounts. Seek recessed hardware and formed edges so the plates slide over rocks rather than snagging.

Bumpers & Brush Guards for Impacts

Install front/rear bumpers to deflect brush and cushion slow impacts. Combine bumpers with A-arm guards and sliders for the broadest coverage.

  • Armor acts like insurance: skid plates and A-arm guards shield vital parts from rocks and ruts.
  • Choose UHMW for lighter weight; aluminum for durability depending on terrain.
  • Verify fitment, re-torque after shakedown, and add handguards.
Armor Main Benefit Best Use
Underbody plates Protect frame/diffs Rocky terrain
A-arm protection Preserve suspension components Technical routes
Front/Rear bumpers Brush/impact defense Brushy and low-speed obstacles

Get the Stance and Clearance You Need: Lift Kits and Wheel Spacers

A modest lift and a few well-chosen spacers can transform how your rig moves through ruts and rocks.

Lift kits and wheel spacers change clearance and track width so your vehicle handles obstacles with less drama. American Off-Roads offers kits and spacers curated for reliable fitment across Polaris, Can-Am, Honda, Yamaha, CFMoto, and more.

Lift kits for clearance and bigger tires

Lift kits create tire clearance and belly room so your vehicle glides over ruts instead of high-centering.

Quality kits come with clear instructions and hardware, making weekend installs realistic with common tools. Afterward, re-check torque after a few rides since fasteners may settle.

Spacers for Stability & Feel

Spacers widen the track for a more planted feel, boosting confidence in off-camber sections and technical climbs.

Choose spacer thickness and lift height that complement tire size to preserve steering feel and CV angles. Consider stronger damping if added leverage from stance/tires.

  • Combine lifts with skid upgrades to keep underbody protection at the new ride height.
  • Verify atv utv fitment for year/trim to avoid geometry surprises.
  • If you haul or tow, balance lift goals with load stability and braking performance.
Choice Main Benefit When to Fit
Lifts Extra clearance for bigger tires When scraping is common
Wheel spacers Wider stance, better stability For off-camber/technical routes
Complete kits All parts/fasteners matched Weekend installs with common tools

Control, Comfort, and Handling: Suspension and Ride Accessories

Good suspension tuning plus cockpit tweaks reduce fatigue on long rides.

Suspension tuning is the fastest way to improve control and comfort, especially after adding armor or larger tires. Choose shock kits or springs matched to your terrain and load—solo, two-up, or with cargo.

Use ride accessories like seat cushions, bar risers, and protective handguards to cut fatigue and keep confident steering inputs. Minor tweaks maintain posture and lessen arm pump.

  • Adjust damping up or down to fit speed and surface so tires stay planted for better traction/braking.
  • Blend small-bump comfort with bottom-out control for a balanced, predictable feel.
  • Service shocks/bushings on schedule to keep handling crisp.
Upgrade Benefit When to Fit Notes
Shock kits Better control and damping After adding weight or tires Choose valving for trail or aggressive terrain
Seat cushions Reduced rider fatigue All-day sessions Seek gel/absorbing foam
Bar risers & handguards Improved posture and protection Technical riding Lowers arm pump and shields hands
Tire & setup Grip + compliance Pair with shock tuning Match pressure and sidewall to riding style

We help select kits/parts that meet goals without overspending on features you won’t use. A comfortable cockpit builds confidence and lets your personal riding style shine.

Essential ATV Riding Gear for Safety and Style

The right protective apparel keeps you safer and more confident on every trail.

Every rider should start with a DOT helmet, clear or tinted goggles, protective gloves, and sturdy boots. This basic set is the baseline of safe riding.

For higher speeds or racing, add a roost/chest guard, kidney belt, and knee protection. These pieces reduce impact forces and protect soft tissue during fast get-offs.

Head-to-Toe Basics: Helmet, Goggles, Gloves, Boots

Pick a snug-fit helmet and meet approved safety standards. Swap liners/pads as they wear to maintain protection.

Pick goggles that seal well and stay clear. A backup gloves and dry socks in your storage bag makes long rides more comfortable.

Torso & Knee Protection for Speed

Layer chest and kidney protection under jerseys for airflow plus impact resistance. Knee braces reduce hyperextension risk on technical trails.

Apparel Sets for Trail Days

Choose breathable, durable pants/jerseys. Glove-matched bundles simplify shopping and often save money.

  • Prepare for the crash with a certified helmet, goggles, hand protection, and boots.
  • Upgrade with chest guards, knee braces, and kidney belts as speeds rise.
  • Select breathable apparel that resist tears and wick moisture.
  • Favor high-visibility accents and reflective elements for low-light rides.
  • Fit matters—proper sizing reduces fatigue and improves control.
Gear Benefit When to Use
Helmet Protects head Every ride
Torso protection Impact & torso shielding High-speed or aggressive
Pants & Jersey Comfort + abrasion resistance Long rides

American Off-Roads encourages prioritizing protective gear that matches their speed, terrain, and experience level.

Gear by Style: Trail/Work/Hunt/Race

Pick accessories that match how you ride so every outing is more capable and comfortable.

Trail riders often add LED light bars, a shock-absorbing seat cushion, handguards, and a GPS mount for long runs. These items boost sightlines, cut fatigue, and simplify navigation.

Work-focused builds lean toward cargo racks, storage boxes, mirrors, and wind protection. Those pieces cut downtime and make chores less tiring for farm/utility days.

Hunters value quiet exhaust options, low-profile finishes, and secure weapon or gear mounts. Stealthy colors and noise reduction help you remain discreet in rough country.

Racing or fast riding calls for stronger armor, improved cooling, and advanced protective apparel. Prioritize brakes, tires, and cooling upgrades to keep pace controlled.

  • Choose pants and jerseys for climate: breathables for heat, insulated layers for cold starts.
  • Balance budget: start with high-impact accessories, then fill gaps over time.
  • Mix visibility gear with low-light lighting if you often start at dawn or return at dusk.
  • On family rides, prioritize comfort/comms to keep everyone enjoying the day.
Style Top Picks Why it Matters
Trails LEDs, cushion, guards Comfort + night sight
Work Racks, storage, mirrors Efficiency + less fatigue
Hunt Quiet exhaust, mounts, stealth colors Lower detection, secure gear
