Learn how to choose the right UTV lift kit by machine, lift height, tire size, fitment, and suspension type, including Rough Country Vertex options.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">A UTV lift kit adds ground clearance, creates room for larger tires, and helps your machine clear rocks, roots, ruts, and mud. The right setup depends on more than lift height. Your UTV model, speed, tire size, and cargo load all affect which suspension upgrade makes sense.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Before ordering a lift, start with three questions:</span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What UTV do you own? </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Do you want added clearance only, or clearance with improved ride control? </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What tire size do you want to run? </span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Your answers will help narrow the options and point you toward a lift kit suited to your machine and how you use it.</span></p>
