2″ Lift Kit For Kubota RTV-X 900/1120 – Rough Country

Description

Overview

The Rough Country 2 Inch Lift Kit for Kubota RTV-X 900/1120 is a premium, heavy-duty suspension upgrade engineered to unlock the true off-road potential of your workhorse utility vehicle. Acting as a pivotal enhancement to your machine’s ATV Suspension Parts system, this high-grade leveling kit modifies the factory stance by lifting both the front and rear geometry. By shifting the vehicle’s center height upwards, it remedies the front-end sag common when utility vehicles are outfitted with heavy accessories like winches, snowplows, or cabin enclosures.

For operators tackling rugged jobsites across the United States, managing massive cattle ranches in Canada, or navigating untamed terrains across Australia and North America, stock clearance often limits performance. Factory setups are frequently prone to undercarriage scraping over protruding rocks, fallen logs, and deep ruts. Integrating this kit effectively shields vital mechanical components from impact, minimizing damage to structural underbody assemblies, your ATV Drive Train Parts, and lower control brackets.

Key Features

• Premium Lift Height: Delivers a true 2-inch increase in ground clearance for superior off-road navigation.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Fabricated entirely from ultra-durable, 3/16-inch thick laser-cut structural steel plate.

• Rugged Exterior Finish: Coated in a specialized, weather-resistant black powder finish to resist corrosion and chemical wear.

• Preserved Handling Dynamics: Specifically engineered to retain your factory turning radius and original steering responsiveness.

• Upgraded Tire Compatibility: Modifies wheel well clearance to safely accommodate larger off-road tires up to 28 inches in diameter.

• Full Strut Integration: Utilizes robust front and rear lower strut brackets alongside matching lower strut plates.

• Comprehensive Hardware Package: Ships complete with grade 8.8 metric zinc-plated fasteners, including 10mm bolts, washers, and locknuts.

• Precision Machined Sleeves: Features heavy-wall 3/4″ x 1″ steel spacer sleeves to prevent bracket distortion during high-torque loading.

• Reversible Design Geometry: Engineered so the vehicle can easily be returned to factory stock height if necessary.

• Vehicle-Specific Engineering: Tailored explicitly for the Kubota RTV-X chassis to prevent binding on factory CV joints.

Benefits

• Optimized Ground Clearance: The additional two inches of clearance allow the UTV to easily glide over deep mud, stones, and workplace debris without bottoming out.

• Reinforced Reliability on the Job: Constructed from robust 3/16″ steel, these brackets will not bend or crack under maximum cargo box weight loads or harsh commercial use.

• Preserved Dynamic Ride Quality: Because the kit uses targeted lower strut bracket relocation rather than preloading or changing your factory springs, it preserves Kubota’s smooth, supportive factory ride comfort.

• Enhanced System Longevity: Properly aligning the strut placement ensures that secondary components, such as boots within your ATV Steering Parts and CV axles, escape premature wear caused by extreme operating angles.

• Increased Versatility & Safety: Lifting the machine allows for aggressive, larger-ply tires, giving you enhanced traction while preventing dangerous high-centering incidents on steep inclines.

Vehicle Compatibility

This precision-engineered lift kit is custom-tailored to fit a broad cross-section of heavy-duty 4WD Kubota RTV-X series diesel and gas vehicles produced across several model generations.

Installation Guide

• Estimated Installation Time: 3 to 4 hours

• Difficulty Level: Moderate

• Required Tools: 14mm socket and wrench, 17mm socket and wrench, heavy-duty floor jack, and secure jack stands.

Step-by-Step Installation Tips

1. Secure the Chassis: Park on a flat, concrete surface. Raise the front of the UTV with a high-capacity floor jack and safely support the frame with heavy-duty jack stands. Remove the front wheels.

2. Disconnect the Lower Strut: Use a 14mm and 17mm wrench to unbolt the factory lower strut mounting hardware from the factory arm.

3. Position the Brackets: Place the front lower strut bracket onto the factory mount. Insert the supplied 3/4”x1” steel sleeve inside the factory bracket recess, and thread the long 10mm-1.5x70mm bolt through the assembly to lock it in position.

4. Secure the Strut Foot: Re-insert the base of the strut into the new Rough Country bracket, lining it up with the provided lower strut plate, and secure using the shorter 10mm bolts and locknuts. Torque all fasteners according to standard metric specifications.

5. Repeat for the Rear: Follow the same sequential lift bracket alignment process on the rear lower strut configurations. Re-install all wheels, lower the vehicle, and check clearances along your ATV Brake Parts lines and chassis before operation.

Signs This Part Needs Replacement

While structural steel lift brackets rarely fail on their own, severe workplace collisions or extreme trail accidents can necessitate a suspension inspection:

• Visible Bracket Warping: Striking deep hidden boulders or sudden high-speed washouts can bend even heavy 3/16″ steel plates out of specification.

• Persistent Suspension Clunking: Loose mounting fasteners or worn internal spacer sleeves can cause an audible metal-on-metal rattle over bumps.

• Uneven Vehicle Ride Height: Severe physical structural stress that stretches mounting holes will cause one corner of the UTV to sit noticeably lower than the rest.

• Flaking or Rusting Finishes: If deep gouges scratch away the protective black powder coat, immediate touch-ups are required to stop oxidation from undermining the bracket structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Will this kit cause my factory CV axles to bind or wear out prematurely?

  • A: No. Rough Country specifically engineered this 2-inch drop bracket configuration to work perfectly within the safe limits of factory CV joints, preventing axle strain.

• Q: Do I need to modify or compress my factory coil springs to install this kit?

  • A: No spring compressor is needed. This kit utilizes external lower strut bracket relocation, meaning your factory spring and shock assembly remains completely intact.

• Q: Can I run 28-inch off-road tires after installing this kit on my RTV-X900?

  • A: Yes, this kit provides the precise wheel-well clearance necessary to clear up to 28-inch tires without rubbing on your body panels.

• Q: Does this suspension modification void my turning radius or steering capabilities?

  • A: Not at all. The design preserves your original factory turning radius and does not restrict your front steering geometry.

• Q: Is it possible to revert my vehicle back to factory stock ride height later?

  • A: Yes. Since the installation is fully bolt-on and requires no permanent cutting or welding of the chassis, you can remove the brackets at any time.

• Q: Does this kit fit the older, non-X model Kubota RTV 900 series?

  • A: No. This specific kit is meticulously engineered exclusively for the updated RTV-X frame layout introduced in 2014 and later.

• Q: What type of steel is used to manufacture these lift brackets?

  • A: The components are constructed using high-tensile 3/16″ thick steel plate that is laser-cut and CNC bent for exact tolerances.

• Q: Does the package include hardware for both the front and rear suspension?

  • A: Yes. It is a complete front and rear leveling kit featuring all 4 lift brackets, structural plates, internal sleeves, and necessary metric fasteners.
