Gorilla vs High Lifter Axles

[AVI8OR]

Anyone know anything about or actually have the Gorilla Axles installed in their rigs? How do they compare to High Lifter axles. Both better than stock? Neither are cheap options.

Many years ago I had gorilla axles installed with a 5" lift kit and I had trouble tearing up boots but it was because the angle was just too steep, I think the axles were fine.
Axle change outs are a subject you will read a lot on RZR sites but typically aren't necessary on a 1500 unless you are installing one of the high end long travel kits.

Good to know, thanks for the info on these. Seems like a handful of owners were having issues with their stock axles. Wondering if just a string of bad luck or running them really hard.

Unless you are one of the unlucky few of us that got one the clunking axles I doubt you will ever change them.

Stock axles are fine. Go buy a back rack. Or some led lights. I’d discourage you from spending money on the axles.

Got both a 10" and 30" Rigid bars as well as all the aftermarket Polaris add ons. I'm not hard on the machine so axles should be fine from what I'm hearing. Thanks!

Just an fyi, if your interested rigid makes an yellow/amber cover for the 10” light bars. Not sure what type of terrain your in, or if you get snow, fog, a lot of dust. But the yellow/amber cover is nice for those conditions. I almost went with the pro armor light due to them having the amber and then learned rigid makes snap on covers.

Good to know. Live in a rural area so its a combo of everything depending on season.
