RZR Pro XP 2 Forward A-Arms - Dig Rig Powersports

If you ride a Polaris RZR Pro XP and dream of squeezing in bigger tires without wrecking your ride quality, RZR Pro XP 2" forward A-arms are a proven solution. These upgraded arms move your front wheels forward by two inches, giving you better clearance, more stability, and the ability to run serious Polaris RZR big tire mods without constant rubbing.

Whether you’re building a mud monster, desert racer, or trail crusher, understanding how these arms affect your RZR Pro XP geometry, steering, and alignment will help you get the most out of your Pro XP A-arm upgrade

What 2" Forward A-Arms Do for Your RZR

Stock arms limit tire size and approach angle. Swapping them for Polaris RZR forward offset arms changes the game.

Benefits of this upgrade:

  • Bigger Tires Without Rub: Perfect for RZR tire fitment up to 35” depending on your setup.
  • Better Approach Angles: Less chance of smashing the frame on rocks or ledges.
  • Improved Stability: A touch more wheelbase adds forward offset stability at higher speeds.
  • RZR Mud Clearance Gains: Pair them with a lift for even more obstacle clearance.

And here’s the science bit — moving the wheels forward changes your Pro XP steering feel because it tweaks the caster angle. A little more caster generally means better tracking at high speed but can make low-speed turns feel heavier.

Common Challenges With RZR Forward Arms Installation

RZR Brake Line Routing

Shifting the spindle mount forward changes the way brake lines stretch and move. If they’re too tight at full droop, you risk damage.

Tips:

  • Use extended lines if you run long-travel shocks or a UTV suspension lift compatibility setup.
  • Secure lines so they won’t rub on the arms.
  • Cycle the suspension lock-to-lock to check for binding.

Tire Rub & Clearance Checks

Even with 2" forward control arms, certain wheel offsets or wide tires may still rub on full turn or compression. Remember, tire sizes aren’t always true — a labeled “32-inch” might actually measure closer to 31.5” when mounted.

Bump Steer & Geometry Changes

Altering the RZR Pro XP geometry changes the Ackermann angle, which can lead to slight bump steer. If you notice the wheels steering themselves over bumps, a bump steer correction kit can fix it.

Alignment & Handling After Installation

Once your arms are in, you need a forward A-arm alignment. Skipping this step is asking for poor handling and premature tire wear.

Recommended specs for RZR Pro XP trail handling:

  • Toe: 0–1/8” toe-out for quicker turn-in.
  • Camber: Around -1° for balanced grip.
  • Caster: 5–7° for stability, but avoid going extreme if you value easy low-speed steering.

Fine-tuning with a Pro XP sway bar setup can further improve cornering stability, especially if you’ve added a lift or big tire suspension setup.

Performance Gains You Can Expect

The stock RZR Pro XP wheelbase is 96 inches. After adding RZR Pro XP 2" forward A-arms, you’re looking at roughly 98 inches. That small change makes a big difference:

  • High-Speed Stability: More planted feel on fast runs.
  • Turning Radius: Slightly wider, but barely noticeable.
  • Weight Distribution: Less nose dive on jumps or steep drops.

Independent testing has shown setups with a slightly longer wheelbase can see up to 8% better stability in high-speed slalom courses compared to stock.

Pairing Forward Arms with Other Pro XP Suspension Upgrades

To get the most out of 2" forward control arms, think of them as part of a bigger Pro XP suspension upgrades plan:

  • UTV suspension lift compatibility mods for extra clearance in mud.
  • Aftermarket shocks for better control over rough terrain.
  • Pro XP suspension tuning to match your weight, tires, and riding style.
  • High-clearance trailing arms to match your front-end gains.

Final Word

RZR Pro XP 2" forward A-arms aren’t just a cool-looking mod — they’re a practical way to unlock bigger tires, improve RZR mud clearance, and fine-tune your ride’s handling. When paired with the right Pro XP suspension upgrades, careful RZR forward arms installation, and a solid forward A-arm alignment, you’ll have a machine that’s ready for anything the trail throws at it.

Whether you’re chasing better RZR Pro XP trail handling, dialing in Pro XP suspension tuning, or just want that aggressive, forward-offset look, this upgrade is worth every turn of the wrench.
