2″ Lift Kit For Yamaha Wolverine RMAX2 1000

Description

Overview

The 2 Inch Lift Kit for Yamaha Wolverine RMAX2 1000 is a premium, high-strength suspension modification engineered specifically to elevate your side-by-side’s capabilities. Operating as a crucial enhancement to your vehicle’s ATV Suspension Parts system, this premium bracket lift kit reconfigures the shock mounting points to deliver a true two inches of extra ground clearance. By raising your machine’s overall profile, it prevents your undercarriage skid plates from dragging across rocks, stumps, and deep ruts during aggressive trail exploration.

When driving a stock side-by-side across demanding terrains in the United States, North America, or the rugged trails of Australia, factory ride height can frequently leave your underbelly vulnerable. This strategic modification directly alters how your vehicle handles technical obstacles without compromising factory comfort. Crucially, the lift integrates flawlessly with surrounding mechanical networks—including ATV Steering Parts and ATV Drive Train Parts—ensuring your turning radius remains sharp and your factory axle operating angles stay within safe tolerances.

Key Features

• True 2-Inch Elevation: Delivers a precise, true-to-size two inches of additional vertical clearance over factory specifications.

• Accommodates Larger Tires: Provides the necessary wheel-well clearance to safely mount up to 33-inch off-road tires.

• Premium Laser-Cut Steel: Structural components are precision crafted from high-tensile, CNC laser-cut plate steel.

• Brake Press Bent Brackets: Brake press bent and hand-welded construction guarantees maximum resistance against bending or warping.

• Maintains Factory Geometry: Meticulously engineered to preserve your stock steering radius and full suspension travel.

• Complete Shock Bracket Kit: Includes heavy-duty front shock brackets, a rugged front cross member, and reinforced rear brackets.

• Steering Stop Kit Included: Comes complete with a dedicated steering stop kit to protect your CV joints from over-extension.

• Durable Powder Coat Finish: Finished in a sleek, UV-resistant black powder coating to combat corrosion, rust, and trail debris.

• 100% Bolt-On Installation: Designed for a straightforward, direct-fit installation with absolutely no cutting or drilling required.

• High-Grade Hardware: Shipped with all necessary zinc-plated, high-strength metric fasteners and clear installation instructions.

Benefits

• Superior Trail Mobility: An extra two inches of ground clearance allows you to clear deep washouts, downed logs, and jagged rocks without hanging up your chassis.

• Enhanced Visual Appeal: Elevating the machine and adding larger tires transforms your Wolverine into an aggressive, rugged off-road machine.

• Uncompromised Ride Quality: Unlike basic spring spacers that stiffen your springs, this bracket lift retains the plush, natural shock absorption of your factory FOX or KYB shocks.

• Axle and Drivetrain Longevity: By maintaining calculated shock angles, the kit protects your high-performance ATV Drive Train Parts, preventing premature CV boot tearing or joint binding.

• Robust Underbody Protection: Minimizes direct impact damage to your factory skid plates, frame rails, and vulnerable ATV Engine Parts housings.

Helpful Installation Tips

1. Secure the Vehicle: Always park the UTV on a flat, level concrete surface and securely block the wheels before jacking up the opposite end.

2. Support the Suspension: Use a secondary jack or an assistant to lift the suspension arms slightly when removing the shock bolts to relieve tension.

3. Leave Hardware Loose: Thread all bracket bolts by hand and leave them slightly loose until the entire bracket assembly and shock are aligned before final tightening.

4. Torque to Spec: Tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specifications using a reliable torque wrench.

5. Check Clearances: Once installed, cycle the steering wheel fully from lock-to-lock to ensure brake lines running to your ATV Brake Parts and electrical wiring remain clear of moving components.

Signs This Part Needs Replacement

While structural steel brackets are built to handle severe abuse, hardware and suspension connections should be inspected regularly for wear:

• Popping or Clunking Noises: Loud metallic popping when traversing bumps often points to a loose mounting bolt or a worn-out shock bushing.

• Visible Metal Distortion: After a severe high-speed impact or rollover, inspect brackets for hair-line cracks, bends, or paint flaking.

• Uneven Ride Height: If one side of the machine sags significantly compared to the other, inspect the shock bracket position or the shock itself.

• Excessive Steering Play: If the front wheels wobble or feel disconnected, the steering stop kit or tie rods within your ATV Steering Parts may need servicing.

• Q: Are the brackets protected against rust and environmental damage?

  • A: Yes, all structural steel brackets receive a premium, industrial-grade black powder coat finish that resists chipping, rust, and salt corrosion.
