Whether you're replacing a damaged component, changing a tire, or making an unexpected trail-side repair, using the correct lift points can make the job safer, faster, and far less frustrating.

The AGM Electric Jack Pro combines powered lifting with multiple lifting options, making it a versatile solution for everything from quick tire repairs to more involved trail-side maintenance. In this guide, we'll show you the recommended front and rear lift points for the Polaris Pro R, along with a few practical tips to help you get the most from your jack.

Front Lift Points

Primary Front Lift Point - Lower Control Arm

For most repairs, the lower control arm is our preferred front lifting location when using the AGM Electric Jack Pro.

When positioning the jack:

Place the lifting pad under the lower control arm near the centerline of the front shock or slightly toward the wheel.
Stay on the flatter portion of the control arm.
Avoid lifting from the steeper inner section whenever possible.
Position the base of the jack slightly farther in under the arm than the top of the jack.

As the suspension extends, the vehicle naturally moves away from the jack. Starting with the jack slightly angled allows it to move into a more stable vertical position as the lift progresses.

For additional stability:

Allow the lifting pad to contact the lower control arm.
Position the jack so it also contacts the upper and lower suspension arms.
Use these multiple points of contact to help stabilize the lift.

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

Alternate Front Lift Point - Chassis Tube

If your Pro R has significant ground clearance, steeper suspension angles, or you simply prefer lifting from the chassis, the factory chassis tubes provide another excellent lifting location.

Using AGM's Combo Hook with the pin attachment:

Install the pin attachment in the Combo Hook.
Index the pin into the factory hole in the chassis tube.
Position the jack slightly angled so it becomes vertical during the lift.
Confirm the pin is fully engaged before lifting.

This method allows you to lift directly from the chassis while maintaining excellent stability.

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

Need More Lift Height?

Sometimes deep sand, uneven terrain, or larger tires require additional lift height.

Fortunately, the Polaris Pro R's suspension can work in your favor.

As the suspension extends:

The vehicle's track width narrows.
The vehicle remains higher than it was before, when the jack is lowered back down.
Additional lifting height becomes available.

If the tire isn't completely off the ground:

Lower the vehicle.
Raise the adjustment collar.
Reposition the jack.
Lift again.

This simple technique can provide significantly more lift without changing lift points.

Rear Lift Points

Primary Rear Lift Point - Trailer Arm

The trailing arm is our preferred rear lifting location for most repairs.

When positioning the jack:

Place the jack's GroundLoc pad beneath the trailing arm.
Angle the Jack so the pad is slightly further away from you than the top of the jack.
Allow the jack to move toward vertical as the suspension extends.
Use the shock body as a secondary contact point when possible.

If you're working on uneven terrain, take a moment to ensure the jack base is sitting flat before continuing the lift.

A stable foundation helps keep the jack properly aligned throughout the repair.

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 be used as an alternate lifting location.

When lifting from the upper radius rod:

Use the lifting pad rather than the hook.
Rotate the lifting head as needed.
Match the angle of the radius rod as closely as possible.
Confirm stability before continuing the lift.

Avoid lifting from the lower radius rod. Its high-clearance geometry creates a steeper angle that can reduce stability during the lift.

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

Additional Lifting Options

One advantage of the AGM Electric Jack Pro is its versatility.

If your vehicle is equipped with:

Aftermarket bumpers
Rock sliders
Side protection systems
Other structural accessories

The V-groove on the top cap can often provide additional lifting options for trail-side repairs.

Always verify the component you're lifting from is designed to support the load before lifting.

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.
Prevent contamination of threads and mating surfaces.

Clean hardware goes back together faster and helps prevent damaged threads.

If something falls in the dirt, knock off the debris, clean the threads, and store it somewhere safe until you're ready to reinstall it.

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 the manufacturer's specifications 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 should I lift a Polaris Pro R with an Electric Jack Pro?

For most repairs, the lower control arm and trailing arm are the preferred lift points. The chassis tubes and upper radius rod can also be used in certain situations.

Why should the Electric Jack Pro start at an angle?

As the suspension extends, the vehicle moves away from the jack. Starting slightly angled allows the jack to become vertical as the lift progresses, creating a more stable lifting position.

Can I lift a Polaris Pro R from the chassis?

Yes. Using AGM's Combo Hook with the pin attachment allows the Electric Jack Pro to lift directly from the factory chassis tube holes.

Can I lift from aftermarket bumpers or sliders?

In some cases, yes. The V-groove on the top cap can be used on structural accessories that are designed to support vehicle loads.

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.
