If you own a Polaris Ranger, you know how important it is to have the right gear to take on the challenges of off-road driving. One key component that many enthusiasts choose to add to their Polaris Ranger is a portal gear lift. However, with so many options available, it can be tough to know what to look for when buying one. Here are some important factors to consider before making your purchase:
Portal Gear Lift Type
First on the list of things to consider is the type of portal gear lift you want to use. There are two main types to choose from, traditional and GDP (Gear Driven Performance).
Traditional portal gear lifts use a gear reduction hub that bolts onto the outside of the wheel hub, which increases the ground clearance of your Polaris Ranger. These lifts are known for their durability and ability to handle heavy loads, making them a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts who need to haul heavy equipment or trailers.
In comparison, GDP portal gear lifts use an internal gearbox design that provides a more efficient transfer of power from the transmission to the wheels. This design allows for a higher gear reduction ratio, which means greater ground clearance without sacrificing top speed. GDP lifts are also known for their smoother operation and reduced drivetrain noise, both of which make them perfect for a Polaris Ranger.
Gear Ratios
The gear ratio of the portal gear lift will determine how much additional ground clearance you'll gain. A higher gear ratio will provide more ground clearance, but it will also reduce your top speed, agility, and handling. Therefore, it is essential to balance your needs and wants with this one as some prefer more ground clearance while others prefer a more dynamic, faster, and responsive Polaris Ranger.
Build Materials
The portal box and gears are usually made from hardened (galvanized) steel, which can withstand the high torque and stresses that off-road driving can put on your Polaris Ranger. The axles are also typically made from high-strength materials, such as chromoly steel, to handle the increased load and torque.
Durability
To ensure maximum durability, it's important to choose a portal gear lift from a reputable manufacturer with a track record of producing high-quality Polaris Ranger accessories. Everything Polaris Ranger does the heavy lifting for you by only dealing with the very best brands on the market, such as High Lifter and SuperATV, both of which have a superior track record when it comes to high-quality Polaris Ranger portal gear lifts.
Installation
Finally, it's essential to consider installation. Installing a Polaris Ranger portal gear lift can be a complex process, so it's important to choose a lift that comes with clear instructions and all the necessary hardware. Consider whether you have the necessary tools and expertise to install the lift yourself, or if you'll need to hire a professional.
By considering these factors, you'll be able to choose the right portal gear lift for your Polaris Ranger, and enjoy a more dynamic, successful off-road experience.
