UTV Tender Springs — Restore Ride Height. Eliminate Harsh Bottoming.

Your UTV's suspension was engineered for a specific ride height — but heavy accessories and trail abuse compress your springs and rob you of 2–4 inches of ground clearance. R1 Industries tender springs are the fastest, most affordable fix: bolt-on dual-rate suspension that restores lost lift and eliminates harsh bottoming.

Why Tender Springs Are the #1 UTV Suspension Upgrade

Tender springs are a direct bolt-on upgrade that works with your existing shocks. They add a progressive secondary spring rate that absorbs small bumps before your main spring compresses — plush initial feel that firms up when you need it. Riders report 80% improvement in ride quality on everything from hardpack to rocky desert terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these work with my aftermarket shocks?
Yes — compatible with Fox, Walker Evans, King, and most aftermarket shocks.

How much lift will I get?
Most riders see 2–4" depending on vehicle, spring sag, and accessory load.

How long does installation take?
1–2 hours per axle with basic hand tools. No cutting or welding required.

Will tender springs affect my shock warranty?
They are an additive component and don't modify your shocks. Most manufacturers consider them compatible.

Do tender springs work with a lift kit?
Yes — tender springs are compatible with most aftermarket lift kits and long-travel setups.

What is the difference between tender springs and main springs?
Tender springs are a lighter secondary spring that sits on top of your main spring. They handle small bump compliance while your main spring handles larger impacts and load support.
