Bigger tires make a Polaris RZR XP 1000 more capable, but a tall lift to fit them can make the machine tippy and harder to drive. These High Clearance 2" Forward Offset A-Arms take a different route. They move the front wheels forward 2" for more tire room and a longer, more stable wheelbase, and a dual-bend shape adds 1.5" of ground clearance with no lift at all. They fit the XP 1000 and XP 4 1000 and come with heavy-duty tie rods to match.
Highlights
- 2" forward offset for larger tires and a longer wheelbase
- High-clearance dual bends add 1.5" of ground clearance
- Oversized 1.25" steel tubing, 25% larger than stock
- Heavy-duty solid steel bar tie rods with chromoly ends included
- Adjustable pivot blocks for full camber adjustability
- UHMW bushings preinstalled at no extra cost
- UV-resistant powder coat finish
- Vehicle-specific fit for a secure install
- Backed by a lifetime A-arm warranty
Room for Bigger Tires, More Stability
Stretching the wheelbase by 2" makes the RZR noticeably steadier on hill climbs and big obstacles. The forward offset also clears larger tires, and moving up a tire size gives you even more ground clearance on top of what the arms add.
More Clearance, No Lift Required
The dual-bend design lifts the arms 1.5" higher than stock, so you can cruise over rocks and logs that used to catch the front suspension. You keep the low center of gravity of a stock-height machine.
Made Stronger
Each arm is built from 1.25" diameter steel tubing, 25% larger than stock, which is a big jump in strength. The self-lubricating UHMW bushings are close to indestructible and come preinstalled, saving you a messy job. These arms are built to ride hard for years.
Adjustable Camber
The pivot blocks are set to factory specs out of the box. Leave them alone if you like, or adjust camber after adding cab weight or a small lift for better handling and less tire wear.
Heavy-Duty Tie Rods to Match
Offset arms need tie rods that can take the extra leverage. The included tie rods use solid steel bars with chromoly tie rod ends to handle hard riding and rough terrain, and they make toe adjustment easy.
Ball Joint Choices
Choose a ball joint in the "Need Preinstalled Ball Joints?" option and it's pressed into the arms before shipping, which cuts your garage time. Pick "I will do the work myself and reuse existing" and you'll need to reuse your stock joints.
- Standard Duty: hardened chromoly construction with zinc plating for OEM-level quality or better at a lower price.
- Heavy-Duty 4340 Chromoly Steel: 4340 VAR steel, zinc plated, with an adjustable housing that holds the right stiffness for years and an easy grease point.
- Super Duty 300M: 300M alloy steel in an adjustable, serviceable design, 2.25 times stronger than stock.
- Keller Performance: two-piece, snap-ring-free design that threads into the arm, with a chromoly stud and tool-steel body. Greaseable and rebuildable for big machines and big tires.
Picking the Right Ball Joint
Think about tire size and riding style. Standard Duty is an economical stock replacement for mild use. Heavy-Duty 4340 is the all-around upgrade for most riders running larger tires on a 2" offset arm, because the extra leverage of a longer wheelbase and bigger tire loads the joint harder. Super Duty 300M makes sense for aggressive driving, jumping and heavy tires. Keller is the choice if you've ever had a joint pull out, since it threads into the arm instead of relying on a press fit and snap ring.
What 2" of Offset Means on the Trail
A longer wheelbase spreads the machine's weight over a greater distance between axles. On a steep climb that makes the front end less likely to lift, and on descents and side hills the RZR feels more planted. In tight woods, the slightly wider turning circle is the tradeoff to keep in mind. Forward offset also changes the front axle angle a little, so a strong set of front axles is a smart addition if you're adding much bigger tires at the same time.
Spacers, Steering Stops and Tire Fit
With the wheels moved forward, a tire can contact the arm or frame at full lock. When a lift kit is also installed on stock wheels, the manufacturer recommends 1" wheel spacers or steering stops to prevent that. After installing, cycle the steering lock to lock with the suspension compressed and confirm nothing rubs.
What's in the Box
- Upper and lower front A-arms, left and right (black or red)
- Heavy-duty tie rods with chromoly ends
- UHMW bushings, preinstalled
- Adjustable pivot blocks
- Ball joints installed, if selected
Who It's For and What Pairs Well
These are for riders adding big tires who want stability instead of height. If you're also running a lift kit with stock wheels, 1" wheel spacers or steering stops are recommended. Pair them with extended trailing arms in RZR XP 1000 trailing arms, sway bar links in RZR XP 1000 sway bars and links, and stronger axles in RZR XP 1000 axles and CVs. 4-seat owners: RZR XP 4 1000 A-arms.
Fitment
| Year | Make | Model |
|---|---|---|
| 2014-2023 | Polaris | RZR XP 1000 |
| 2014-2023 | Polaris | RZR XP 4 1000 |
Note: 1" wheel spacers or steering stops are recommended if you are also running a lift kit with stock wheels.
Installation Notes
Set the tie rods to your old toe settings as a starting point, then get an alignment after installation. Check tire clearance at full lock and full compression. If you selected preinstalled ball joints, the arms go on as complete assemblies, which makes this a reasonable weekend job with basic hand tools, a floor jack and stands. Re-torque all pivot bolts and tie rod jam nuts after the first ride, once the new bushings have seated.
