Whether you're changing a tire, replacing a CV axle, inspecting suspension damage, or making a trail-side repair, knowing where to safely lift your Polaris Pro R can make the job faster, safer, and less frustrating.

This guide covers the recommended front and rear lift points when using the AGM Manual Jack Pro, along with a few practical tips that can help make repairs easier when you're miles from home.

Front Lift Points

Primary Front Lift Point - Lower Control Arm

For most repairs, the lower control arm is our preferred front lifting location on the Polaris Pro R.

When positioning the jack:

Place the lifting pad under the lower control arm, near the centerline of the front shock.
Lift from the flatter portion of the control arm.
Avoid the angled inner section whenever possible.
Make sure the body of the jack is touching the upper arm to create a second point of contact.
Start with the jack slightly angled so it becomes vertical as the suspension rises.

As the vehicle lifts, the jack naturally moves into a more stable working position while maintaining better contact with the suspension component.

Your tire is in the air and you're ready for the repair.

Alternate Front Lift Point - Chassis Tubes

If your vehicle has significant ground clearance, the control arm angle is steep, or you simply prefer lifting directly from the chassis, the factory lower chassis tubes provide another excellent lifting location.

Using AGM's Combo Hook with the pin attachment:

The pin indexes into the factory holes in the lower chassis tube.
Provides a secure lifting point directly from the chassis.
Allows front-end lifting without contacting suspension components.

This lift point is a great alternative when terrain, suspension setup, or personal preference makes the lower control arm less desirable.

Your tire is in the air and you're ready for the repair.

Need More Lift Height?

Deep sand, uneven terrain, and larger tires can sometimes require additional lift height.

As the suspension extends, the Pro R's track width narrows. You can use this to your advantage.

After your first lift, lower the jack completely.
Raise the adjustment collar.
Reposition the jack.
Lift again.

This simple technique can provide additional lifting height without changing lift points or carrying additional equipment.

Rear Lift Points

Primary Rear Lift Point - Trailing Arm

The trailing arm is our preferred rear lifting location for most repairs on the Polaris Pro R.

For best results:

Position the jack beneath the trailing arm.
Begin with the jack slightly angled.
Allow the jack to move toward a vertical position as the vehicle rises.
Maintain multiple points of contact whenever possible.

This location provides a stable lifting platform while keeping the vehicle secure during repairs.

Your tire is in the air and you're ready for the repair.

Alternate Rear Lift Point - Upper Radius Rod

If access to the trailing arm is limited, the upper radius rod can also be used as a lifting point.

When lifting from the upper radius rod:

Adjust the jack collar angle to better match the suspension geometry.
Position the lifting pad as parallel to the rod as possible.
Confirm stability before continuing the lift.

Avoid lifting from the lower radius rod. Its angle can increase the likelihood of the jack slipping during use.

Your tire is in the air and you're ready for the repair.

Trail-Side Repair Tips

Once the vehicle is safely lifted, a few simple habits can help prevent bigger problems later.

Keep Hardware Clean

Whether you're removing a wheel, suspension component, or driveline hardware:

Keep nuts, bolts, and fasteners out of dirt and sand.
Store hardware in a pocket, tray, magnetic holder, or container.
This prevent the contamination of threads and mating surfaces.

Clean hardware goes back together faster and helps prevent damaged threads. But if you drop something, no big deal, knock out the dirt, blow the threads clean and store in a safe place.

Start Threads By Hand

Before reaching for an impact gun:

Start all lug nuts and fasteners by hand.
Verify smooth engagement.
Confirm nothing is cross-threaded.

A few extra seconds now can save a much bigger repair later.

Tighten Evenly

When reinstalling wheels or components:

Tighten hardware in the proper sequence.
Use a star pattern for wheels.
Perform a final inspection and ensure all hardware is tightened to manufacturer's spec before lowering the vehicle.

Small details like these help ensure the repair stays repaired once you're back on the trail.

Two Quick Safety Tips

Move To A Safe Location

If the vehicle is still driveable:

Move it to a safe area off the trail whenever possible.
Choose flat, unobstructed ground.
Avoid creating hazards for other trail users.

Not only does this reduce the risk of being hit by another vehicle, it also makes the repair easier and provides a more stable lifting surface.

Use A Secondary Support Point

If any part of your body may end up underneath the vehicle or if you need to get back inside while it is lifted, you should always place something underneath the vehicle to act as a backup support.

Good options include:

Hard-shell cooler
Toolbox
Spare tire
Large rock
Log

The goal is simple: if the vehicle moves off the jack, something else is there to catch it.

That helps keep you safer and helps get you back on the trail quicker.

Polaris Pro R Lift Guide FAQs

Where are the front lift points on a Polaris Pro R?

The lower control arm is the preferred front lifting location for most repairs. The factory chassis tubes can also be used when lifting with the appropriate attachment.

Where are the rear lift points on a Polaris Pro R?

The trailing arm is the preferred rear lifting location. The upper radius rod can also be used as an alternate lift point when necessary.

Can I lift a Polaris Pro R by the radius rods?

The upper radius rod can be used as an alternate lift point. The lower radius rod should be avoided due to its angle and geometry.

What is the best jack for a Polaris Pro R?

The best jack depends on your vehicle setup, storage requirements, and preferred lifting method. AGM offers the Manual Jack Pro, Electric Jack Pro, Manual Jack Sport, and Scissor Jack to support a wide range of trail-side repairs.

How do I safely lift a Polaris Pro R on the trail?

Move to flat ground whenever possible, use the recommended lift points, and always use a secondary support point if you may need to work underneath the vehicle.
