Polaris 335/500 Lift Kit Installation Instructions
Read Before Installation!
This product is designed for use on ATVs on which additional ground clearance and fender
clearance is desired. It is designed for utility type, slower-speed use on relatively flat terrain in deep
mud or snow. Although we have many thousands of satisfied lift kit customers and over 400
franchised dealers selling and installing lift kits, purchasers should be aware that use of this
product may increase the frequency of required maintenance, part wear, and will raise the center
of gravity on your ATV increasing risk of roll-over on side hills, ditches or other steep terrain.
We recommend that wider tires and/or wheel spacers be used to achieve a wider stance and to
improve stability of the ATV. Riders should be advised that the handling characteristics of a taller
ATV are different and require extra care when riding on side hills or off-camber situations. If you
further raise the center of gravity by adding heavy loads to racks or seats, the ATV must be
operated with care, at slower speeds or on relatively flat ground.
Operation of an ATV with or without a lift kit, while or shortly after consuming alcohol or drugs,
subjects the rider to the risk of serious bodily harm or possible death. This is compounded if the
rider does not wear an approved helmet and other safety gear. High Lifter urges that all approved
safety gear be worn when riding an ATV.
If this is not what you expected, or is not consistent with your intended use, you should return the
product immediately to the seller, before installation, for a refund of the purchase price; less any
fees. After installation, product is warranted for 90 days for defects in workmanship and materials.
Warranty is limited to refund of the purchase price or replacement of the kit, at the seller’s option.

WARNING: The McPherson struts on the front of this ATV are preloaded and are under
extreme pressure. A spring compressor is required for the installation. Most local auto
parts stores carry spring compressors for around $25 for a very basic model. If you do not
have experience working with this type of tool, we strongly recommend that an authorized
factory dealer install this lift kit. This job will be much easier if you will remove your front
plastic, which will allow you to pull the strut straight out from the top.
