If your Polaris RZR XP Turbo S keeps dragging its skid plate over logs and rocks, it's time to get it off the ground. This 3" Lift Kit measures true to size, giving you a full three inches of extra ground clearance and room for tires up to 36 inches. The steel brackets are laser cut and powder coated, and the design keeps your steering radius and suspension travel, so the machine still rides and handles the way it should. It's backed by a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

Three Real Inches
Some lift kits are rated taller than they measure. This one is true to its number. Three more inches between the frame and the ground means you'll clear downed trees and big boulders that used to stop you, and the skid plate takes far fewer hits. Combined with bigger tires, the gain is even greater, because tire size adds clearance at the axles too.
Bigger Tire Room
With the lift alone, you can run up to 36-inch tires. Add a set of 1.5-inch forward offset A-arms and you can fit 38s for even more clearance and capability. That makes the lift a good foundation for a build that grows over time.
| Setup | Max tire size (manufacturer) |
|---|---|
| 3" lift kit | 36" |
| 3" lift kit + 1.5" forward offset A-arms | 38" |
Durable and Simple
The front and rear brackets are cut on a CNC laser and bent on a brake press for accuracy, then powder coated black to last for years. The simple design has fewer pieces to loosen or wear, so it stays strong ride after ride. The manufacturer's lifetime warranty shows how much confidence they have in it.
Ride Quality and Handling
A lot of lifts trade away ride comfort or turning radius. Careful engineering keeps this kit close to factory suspension geometry, so steering stays predictable, the turning radius is maintained and suspension travel isn't sacrificed. It rides like your Turbo S, just three inches taller.
Common Questions
Will 3 inches really make a difference?
Yes. A true 3-inch lift is real clearance for the skid plate on rocks, logs and ledges, and it does it without hurting ride quality or steering feel.
What size tires can I run?
Up to 36-inch tires on otherwise stock suspension. With 1.5-inch forward offset A-arms, up to 38-inch tires.
Does it change the turning radius?
No. The bracket placement preserves the turning radius and suspension travel while raising the machine.
Is it hard to install?
It's fully bolt-on and includes all hardware, limit straps and shock wire harness extensions. With the step-by-step instructions, most riders can do it with standard shop tools.
What makes it strong?
High-strength steel brackets that are laser cut, brake-press bent and powder coated, in a design that resists flex under aggressive riding.
Lift Kit, Portals or Long Travel?
| Upgrade | What it does | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 3" lift kit | Raises the chassis with brackets | Affordable clearance and up to 36" tires |
| Portal gear lift | Raises at the hub and adds gear reduction | Very large tires, mud and rocks |
| Long travel kit | Widens stance and adds wheel travel | High-speed desert and whoops |
A bracket lift is the simplest and most budget-friendly way to gain clearance. It's also a common first step: many riders start with the lift and offset A-arms, then move up to portals later as their tires get bigger. If you ride mostly fast, open terrain, a long travel kit may suit you better than extra height.
Plan the Rest of the Build
Bigger tires add load to axles, ball joints and steering, and they change the effective gearing. When you step up in tire size, consider heavier-duty axles and ball joints, a clutch kit to restore acceleration, and power steering assist for easier low-speed steering.
After the Install
Re-check bolt torque after the first ride, since new brackets can settle. Look over the limit straps and make sure brake lines, wiring and the shock harness extensions have slack at full droop. If you added bigger tires, recheck tire pressure and steering lock so nothing rubs.
What's in the Box
- Front lift brackets and cross brace
- (4) Limit straps
- (2) Shock wire harness extensions
- All required hardware and instructions
Who It's For and What Pairs Well
For Turbo S owners who want more clearance and bigger tires without a long travel kit. Pair it with offset arms from RZR Turbo S A-arms, stronger axles from RZR Turbo S axles, a clutch kit from RZR Turbo S clutch and assist from RZR Turbo S steering parts.
