That ditch you couldn't cross, the washout that stops you, the log you keep getting hung up on: three more inches of clearance under a Polaris RZR XP 1000 changes all of it. This 3" lift kit is for 2017-2023 XP 1000 and XP 4 1000 models with Walker Evans shocks. It measures true to size, makes room for tires up to 32", and includes front limit straps to protect the shocks and axles, all while keeping a good steering radius and suspension travel.
Highlights
- 3" of lift with matched brackets and spacers designed for the machine
- Extra tire clearance: up to 32" tires
- Maintains ride feel with a good steering radius and suspension travel
- Vehicle-specific fit for an easy, secure install
- High-strength steel brackets and billet aluminum spacers
- Front limit straps included
Ride Higher, Ride More
A true-to-size lift lets you take the road less traveled and blaze a new trail. With clearance for up to 32" tires, you get the big, aggressive-looking machine you want and the ground clearance you need.
Built to Last
The kit uses high-strength steel brackets and billet aluminum spring spacers made to ride day after day. Every component is engineered to take hard hits and aggressive riding, so you can hit the trail hard and keep the pedal down.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much ground clearance will I gain?
A true 3". That's enough to clear ruts, logs and washouts that would normally stop you, and the kit leaves room for up to 32" tires for even more height.
What size tires can I run?
Up to 32" tires on stock arms. Adding 1.5" forward offset A-arms makes room for larger tires (the manufacturer lists 33" in one place and 35" in another, so ask us before you order tires that big).
Which machines does it fit?
2017-2023 RZR XP 1000 and XP 4 1000 with Walker Evans shocks. It is only compatible with Walker Evans shocks.
What makes it stronger than other lifts?
High-strength steel brackets and billet aluminum spring spacers engineered for hard hits, with every component tested for extreme endurance.
How hard is the install?
It's a straightforward bolt-on job with clear instructions, and the kit includes the lift bracket, spring spacers, limit straps and all hardware.
Why a suspension lift instead of portals?
A 3" suspension lift keeps your factory gearing while adding clearance. Riders choose it when they want more height without the gearing change, extra height, extra weight and extra cost that come with portal gear lifts.
How does it affect ride and handling?
The brackets are engineered for strength and proper geometry to keep handling stable, and the included limit straps protect the shocks and axles so the machine stays predictable under heavy loads and rough terrain.
Should I add heavy-duty axles?
Rhino 2.0 axles are a major durability upgrade with a lift. They use maximized chromoly CV joints and larger shafts to handle extreme angles and high-stress riding.
What will I notice after installing it?
You'll clear more obstacles, run bigger tires, and take on trails that were off-limits before, with a tougher stance and more confidence through ruts, mud holes and uneven ground.
Check Your Shocks First
This is the single most important fitment detail on this kit. The 2017-2023 XP 1000 family was sold with different shock packages depending on trim, and this lift is only designed around Walker Evans shocks. Before you order, look at the shock body and reservoir: Walker Evans shocks carry the Walker Evans name. If you see a different brand, or your machine has the electronically controlled Dynamix suspension, this is not the right kit, and you should look at the Dynamix-specific lift or contact us with your VIN and we'll point you to the right one.
Lift, Tires and the Rest of the Build
Three inches of lift plus a 32" tire adds a lot of usable clearance, and it changes the angles the axles and tie rods work through. That's why the kit includes front limit straps: they stop the suspension before the shocks and CVs hit the end of their travel. It's also a good time to inspect ball joints, tie rod ends and A-arm bushings, since bigger tires load all of them harder. Plan on a fresh alignment after the install, and re-torque the bracket hardware after the first ride.

Who It's For and What Pairs Well
This kit is for 2017-2023 RZR XP 1000 and XP 4 1000 owners with Walker Evans shocks who want 3" more clearance and a 32" tire, whether you ride wooded trails full of roots and logs, rutted farm and hunting ground, or rocky two-track where every inch under the skid plate counts. Add Rhino 2.0 axles from RZR XP 1000 axles and CVs (4-seat: RZR XP 4 1000 axles and CVs), and forward offset A-arms from RZR XP 1000 A-arms and bushings if you want to run even bigger tires. More lift options are in RZR XP 1000 lift kits (4-seat: RZR XP 4 1000 lift kits).
