Check out these Polaris Sportsman portal gear lifts if you want to compensate your ride for the additional ground clearance you've added via lift kits. We've compiled a simple portal gear lift buying guide to help you decide.
The amount of gear reduction you need depends on your vehicle's lift and the size of the tires you have installed. You can select from 15% reduction up to 70% reduction in increments of 10% to 15%. The higher the reduction percentage, the higher the portals and tire size it can support.
Your portal gear lift should be designed for your tire size. You may get away with using the wrong kit and tire sizes for some time, but you'll soon realize you've been missing out on more torque and other benefits.
Also, make sure you select a portal gear lift that is designed to fit your specific Polaris Sportsman model. Our collection features a lift for many models, including the Polaris Sportsman 450, 570, 110, XP 1000, 850, etc. Ask for help if you need help selecting the suitable portal gear lift kit for your ride.
Installing a portal gear lift can be intimidating, but with the right tools and instructions, you can get through with it or, better still, hire a mechanic. Make sure you read your kit's instruction manual before you begin, as this will help ensure your safety and that your gear lift is installed correctly. Also, check all bolts and nuts for tightness during installation so there won't be any surprises.
You can use tire sizes between 33 and 40 with a 6-inch portal gear lift kit.
