Every lift on this page trades something for the clearance it gives you. The table below is the shortest honest version of those trades, sorted by how much height you are after.
| Type | Material and specs | Best for | What you give up |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 to 3 inch adjustable bracket kit | Powder-coated steel with reinforced heavy-duty shock-relocating brackets, 100% bolt-on | RZR 4 800 owners moving up one tire size without touching anything else | The smallest clearance gain in the category |
| 3 inch fixed bracket kit | High-strength CNC laser-cut and brake-press-bent steel brackets, rated for tires up to 32 inches, steering stop kit included | RZR 4 900 and RZR 4 S 1000 owners running bigger rubber | Ball joints are not included, and the 900 kit is ordered by year |
| 3 to 5 inch preload-adjustable kit | Zinc-plated or powder-coated brackets, laser-cut Signature Series plate, lifetime warranty | RZR 4 XP 1000 owners who want to set ride height themselves | The last 2 inches come from increasing OEM shock preload, not from more hardware |
| 8 inch big lift with axles | 4340 chromoly axle housings and bars, dual heat treatment, eight Max Clearance control arms in 1 1/4 by .120 wall DOM tubing, custom front and rear springs, custom rear brake line kit | Big-tire builds and deep mud, where the driveline needs upgrading alongside the height | $3,295.00, the top of this category by a wide margin |
| Portal gear lift | Portal boxes and hubs with gear reduction at each corner | Rock crawling and hill climbing, where low-end torque matters as much as clearance | A separate product line with its own install, not a bracket kit |
Portal gear lifts sit in their own category on this site. If gear reduction is what you are after rather than bracket height, start with our Polaris RZR 4 portal gear lifts.
Two things separate a lift kit that lasts from one that rusts after the first winter. The first is what the bracket is cut from. SuperATV's 3 inch kits use high-strength CNC laser-cut and brake-press-bent steel and carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. High Lifter finishes its Signature Series brackets in zinc plating or powder coat and backs them with its own lifetime warranty. At the top of the category the 8 inch big lift moves past brackets entirely, with axle housings and bars made from 4340 chromoly, dual heat treatment to handle shock loads without chewing up the bearing surfaces, and puncture-resistant boots rated for hot and cold climates.
The second thing is what the box does not contain, and this is where we see the most orders go sideways. SuperATV's 3 inch kits ship with front and rear shock brackets, a rear bracket base and brace, a steering stop kit and all the hardware, but no ball joints. The RZR 4 S 1000 kit needs a wheel spacer if you are running stock wheels with Fox shocks. High Lifter's 3 to 5 inch Signature Series conflicts with a machine that already has HD straight upper radius bars and a Polaris OEM rear bumper, and needs arched upper radius bars or the bumper removed. None of that is a defect. It is the stuff that turns a Saturday install into a Wednesday parts order, and it is why we would rather confirm your build before the kit ships. Many listings here carry downloadable install guides, with more added all the time.
Verified prices in this category run from $243.95 to $3,295.00. The budget-friendly entry point is the Polaris RZR 4 800 2-3" Lift Kit by SuperATV at $243.95, a powder-coated, fully bolt-on kit with reinforced shock-relocating brackets that gives an 800 the clearance for a modest tire bump and nothing you do not need. The sweet spot is $296.95, where both the RZR 4 900 and the RZR S 1000 3 inch kits sit. That is where most RZR 4 owners land: laser-cut steel brackets, room for tires up to 32 inches, a steering stop kit in the box and a lifetime warranty, at a price that leaves budget for the tires the lift was bought for. Above that, High Lifter's 3 to 5 inch Signature Series runs $384.95 and buys adjustability rather than raw height. The premium option is the 8 inch big lift with four Outlaw DHT XL axles at $3,295.00, and what earns that price is the driveline, not the brackets, because past a certain height the CV angles are the part that fails first.
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. On the specific kits here, manufacturer coverage runs longer than that baseline: SuperATV and High Lifter both back their lift hardware with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. On the big-lift end, financing is available through Affirm at checkout. You can see what other RZR owners think of us on our customer reviews page.
A lift is only half the job. The clearance you just bought is meant to be filled, so most RZR 4 owners order RZR 4 tires in the same cart and match them to RZR 4 wheels with the right offset, since offset affects tire clearance as much as lift height does.
Because several RZR 4 models share a suspension platform with their two-seat counterparts, one part number often covers both. The Polaris RZR S 1000 kit and the RZR 4 S 1000 use the same bracket set, which is why it shows up in this category. What you should not do is assume it: check the fitment listed on the product page for your exact year and trim, and if the listing is ambiguous, text us at (920) 644-5280 with your year and model before you order.
Not for the bracket kits in the 2 to 5 inch range on this page, which work with what is already under your machine. The reason High Lifter's 8 inch kit ships with four Outlaw DHT XL axles is that a lift of that size pushes CV angles well past stock, and the axle becomes the weak link before the brackets do. If you are considering anything past 5 inches, ask us about axles before you order rather than after the first ride.
SuperATV rates its 3 inch kits for tires up to 32 inches. High Lifter is direct about the limits of any published chart: its stated tire fitment is a general guide and is not guaranteed, because wheel offset, actual tire diameter and other modifications all change the answer. Treat a published tire size as a starting point and confirm against your own wheels.
Polaris builds one well-made option. The aftermarket gives you that quality level from several makers, usually at a lower price, in heights and configurations the factory does not sell at all. SuperATV's 3 inch kit is the proof on this page: CNC laser-cut steel brackets, a steering stop kit included, clearance for 32 inch tires and a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, all designed to bolt on in a home garage with the hardware in the box. There is no factory equivalent for an 8 inch lift with chromoly axles at any price.
