Polaris ACE Lift Kits
An ACE 570 on a rutted two-track sits low enough that the skid plate finds every high spot between the tracks, and the single-seat layout means you feel each one. Two inches of lift is the fix most ACE owners reach for first. The High Lifter kit here bolts zinc-plated spacers in with hand tools, the RT PRO kit relocates the rear shocks in American laser-cut steel, and both land under $200. Neither asks you to open up the drivetrain.
Which kit you can run comes down to what holds up the front of your machine. The ACE 325, the ACE 500 and most ACE 570s use a strut front, and that is what both kits are built around. RT PRO covers the 325 and 570 including EPS models, and its kit needs four holes drilled in the rear frame. The 2017 ACE 570 SP and 2017 ACE 900 XC left the factory without strut fronts, so neither kit fits them, and the ACE 900 SP is outside RT PRO's fitment too. The ownership and management team here has 100+ combined years in the UTV industry, long enough to know that ACE front ends are where people get burned.

BUYER'S GUIDE: How to Choose a Polaris ACE Lift Kit
The ACE trades ground clearance for its narrow stance, and there are three ways to buy it back. Only one is open to an ACE 900 owner.
| Type | Material and specs | Best for | What you give up |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-inch strut spacer lift | Zinc-plated steel spacers seated between the strut and the frame, hardware and photo instructions included | A strut-front 325, 500 or 570 that keeps catching its skid plate | Raises the center of gravity without widening the stance |
| Bracket and shock-relocation lift | American steel, laser cut and CNC bent, powdercoated black, roughly 2 inches of lift | 325 and 570 owners who want the rear shocks repositioned to offset the lift | Four holes drilled in the rear frame, and no ACE 900 fitment |
| Portal gear lift | Geared hub at each wheel, giving lift and gear reduction together, sold on our ACE portal page | ACE 900 owners, and anyone who wants clearance plus torque | Tighter turning radius, and the cage and frame tabs usually need reinforcing |
How to Tell a Well-Built ACE Lift Kit From a Cheap One
Coating is the first tell. The High Lifter kit is zinc plated, which keeps a spacer from blooming rust through Wisconsin winters, and the RT PRO brackets are powdercoated over American steel that was laser cut and CNC bent. The second is whether the kit addresses the geometry it changes. Lifting an ACE raises the center of gravity, and RT PRO is the only kit here that relocates the rear shocks to offset it. Third, check what ships in the box: both include the mounting hardware, step-by-step instructions and a downloadable install guide. From the shop: the fitment mistake we see most on ACE lifts is an owner assuming every ACE shares a front end. They do not. A 2017 ACE 570 SP and a 2017 ACE 900 XC came without strut fronts, and a strut kit ordered for one of those comes straight back to us.
What You'll Actually Pay to Lift a Polaris ACE
The entry point is the High Lifter 2-inch kit at $152.95, and on a strut-front ACE that buys the whole job: spacers, hardware, instructions and a High Lifter lifetime warranty. The middle is the RT PRO 325/570 kit at $199.04, where owners land when they want the geometry handled as well as the height, because the extra money buys laser-cut American steel and the rear shock relocation. The top end is a portal gear lift. Portals raise the machine and gear it down at once, keep the factory steering geometry, and are the only path to more clearance on an ACE 900. Those live on our Polaris ACE portal gear lift page. The most common warranty is between 3-6 months, but Everything Polaris RZR does offer extended 1- and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in — you can add the extended warranty right at checkout. You can also see what ACE and RZR owners say about us.
Top 2 Polaris ACE Lift Kit Brands
- High Lifter: zinc-plated components backed by a lifetime warranty against defects, with a strut kit that goes together using hand tools alone.
- RT PRO: builds in the United States from laser-cut, CNC-bent steel, and its ACE kit is the only one on this page that repositions the rear shocks.
Top Polaris ACE Lift Kits
- Polaris Sportsman Ace 2" Lift Kit by High Lifter ($152.95). Zinc-plated strut spacers that install with hand tools, and the pick for a 325, 500 or strut-front 570 that is dragging.
- Polaris Ace 325/570 2" Lift Kit by RT PRO ($199.04). Laser-cut American steel that relocates the rear shocks, for the owner who wants height and geometry handled in one kit and does not mind drilling.
Polaris ACE Lift Kit Questions
Will either of these lift kits fit a Polaris ACE 900?
No. RT PRO states its kit does not fit the ACE 900 SP or 900 XC, and the High Lifter kit will not fit the 2017 ACE 900 XC, which has no strut front for the spacers to sit on. If you own an ACE 900, a portal gear lift is the route, and portals cover it alongside the 325 and 570.
Does installing an ACE lift kit require drilling?
The High Lifter kit does not. The RT PRO kit does, and the manufacturer says so plainly: four holes in the rear frame. That is the tradeoff for the rear shock relocation. Both go on in a home garage with hand tools, hardware and install guide included.
Will 2 inches of lift make my ACE tippy?
Lifting any machine raises its center of gravity, and the ACE starts out narrow, so this is a fair question. Two inches is modest and most owners do not notice it in normal riding, but it is a real change, and it is why RT PRO repositions the rear shocks. Re-check every fastener after the first hard ride.
Do I need new tires or wheels after lifting my ACE?
Not necessarily, and plenty of owners lift purely to stop scraping on stock rubber. If you are lifting to fit taller tires, size the tires and wheels together, because backspacing changes how much room a taller tire has to turn. Our Polaris ACE tires and ACE wheels pages are the other half of this purchase.
Are aftermarket lift kits designed for a home garage?
They are built assuming the owner does the work. Both kits here go on with a socket set in an afternoon, and many of our listings carry a downloadable install guide with more added all the time. Anything you order is covered by our risk-free 90-day return policy.
