These Ranger Portals Are a Game Changer
GDP didn’t make the first side-by-side portal kit on the market—just the first kit that anybody gave a damn about. When you’re ready to take your Ranger XP 1000 to a whole new level with unmatched clearance, power, and performance, you need SuperATV’s GDP 6” Portal Gear Lift. Choose a 30%, 45%, or 60% gear reduction, and boost your strength and power to the max by choosing dual idler gears. GDP isn’t like the other guys. Our parts are refined through endless blood, sweat, and hard rides. GDP Portals will redefine your Ranger.
What is a Dual Idler®?
Perfection takes time. After years of research and development, we’ve made our dual idler gear portals unlike any other. By placing a second idler gear in the portal box, the load gets spread over twice as much surface area for more reliable torque transfer and the strongest gear set you can get. Two idler gears don’t do a thing if they’re not mated perfectly, though. Precision CNC grinding ensures ours do. Our gears are made from the industry’s toughest 9310 steel alloy. Didn’t think dual idlers mattered? With GDP’s quality and experience, they finally do.
A Ranger Portal Perfect for All Riding Styles
GDP Portal Gear Lifts are built for those that rise to the occasion and never say no to a new adventure. Whether your adventure is blazing through the desert and dunes, trail riding, or getting up to your ears in mud, we have a portal for you. Get a smaller 30% reduction for faster rides that still pack plenty of torque. Bigger tires for rocks or rough rides require a bigger gear reduction—like 45%. Build the mother of all mudders with a 60% gear reduction. Choose dual idlers to beef up your gears and make your portals unstoppable. Portals give you your torque back so your monster build can still rip harder than the rest.
A Gear Reduction That Protects Your Drivetrain
Putting the gear reduction in the hub means less stress is put on your drivetrain. Your axles, prop shaft, differential, and transmission won’t be working overtime to compensate for the lift, ensuring longer-lasting components. Your machine’s most vital parts will thank us.
Ultimate Strength
Some say go big or go home. We say go GDP or go last. GDP today represents the best and strongest Ranger portal on the planet. Our cast and billet aluminum housings are the thickest and strongest you can get. Combine that with 5/16” backing plates made from an advanced steel alloy, and our portals are unstoppable.
Our housings are reinforced for gear retention and optimized for oil flow
Advanced steel alloy backing plates are stronger than chromoly
Enhance with Portal Blood—gear oil formulated for GDP Portals
There are no gimmicks and no vents because vents do more harm than good—we know because we tested them
Advanced Gaskets, Seals, and Bearings
Our portals use
- Advanced gaskets and O-rings with excellent oil resistance and low deterioration rates
- A sealed input gear and double-lipped output seal
- 100% sealing coverage throughout so you can forget about oil leaks
- Double-angular contact output bearings to prevent premature wear
- Roller idler and drive bearings to maintain perfect gear meshing
- Protect Your Ranger with a Frame Stiffener
Extra ground clearance and bigger tires lead to more action-packed rides. But can your stock frame keep up? To stay confident while you put pedal to the metal, consider adding a SuperATV Frame Stiffener when installing your new portals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does a 6” portal gear lift actually do for my Polaris Ranger XP 1000?
A 6-inch portal gear lift moves the drivetrain reduction to the wheel hubs, adding ground clearance and torque without overworking axles or differentials. Our Ranger XP 1000 6” Portal Gear Lift gives you room for much larger tires while maintaining proper suspension geometry and driveline reliability.
How is a SuperATV portal gear lift different from a standard suspension lift?
A standard lift relies on CV angles and leverage, while a portal gear lift adds both lift and gear reduction directly at the hub. That reduction lowers drivetrain stress and restores lost power when running bigger tires—something a typical bracket lift cannot do.
What gear reduction options are available and how do I choose the right one?
We offer 30%, 45%, and 60% gear reduction options so you can match performance to your riding style. Lower reductions favor speed and trail riding, while higher reductions are ideal for mud, rocks, and extreme builds that demand maximum torque.
What makes SuperATV’s portal gears and housings stronger than others?
Our portal gears are precision ground from 9310 alloy billet steel for cooler, quieter operation and long-term durability. You can choose cast or billet aluminum housings, and our dual idler option spreads load across more gear surface for unmatched strength under heavy throttle.
What wheels do I need to run with this portal gear lift?
This kit requires 18-inch or larger wheels, with specific backspacing limits depending on wheel size. Wheels must also have a minimum 3.25-inch center bore or use a 1-inch spacer to ensure proper hub fitment.
How difficult is it to install the Polaris Ranger XP 1000 6” Portal Gear Lift?
Installation is fully bolt-on, and we provide step-by-step instructions specific to your machine. Most experienced riders or shops can complete the install with standard tools, and our tech support team is available if questions come up.
Does SuperATV back this portal gear lift with a warranty?
Yes. We back this portal gear lift with one of the strongest warranties in the industry. Every component is designed, tested, and refined through aggressive riding so you can push your Ranger with confidence.
