I am looking into getting a lift kit for our 2019 Ranger Crew 1000XP. I have been looking at Highlifter and Pro Lift. Any other lift kits recommended? Or any real world reviews for either of these? Machine is stock other than 14" wheels.

Ranger prolift. Stick with the 2" unless you like changing axle boots.

The prolift is a bottom mount kit that keeps better shock angles. You can leave the shocks mounted on the inner mounts and still get your lift.

An upper mount kit just shoves the tops of the shocks out to an upright position and ride quality suffers.

In addition to RJ's comments something else to consider is that bottom mount lift kits won't work with some aftermarket A Arms. If you plan to get heavy duty arched A arms in the future you might want to be certain your lift will work with them.
I learned this by experience with my 2015 Ranger 570 XP (same chassis as the 900). The SATV arched arms would not work with a bottom lift kit. FYI, I specifically wanted the SATV arms becaue they have adjustable camber and I was wearing tires badly on the inside at the front.

You might consider the alternative of replacing the OEM A arms with aftermarket arched arms . Although they don't increase overall ground clearance the OEM arms are the lowest point at the middle portion of the vehicle. The arched arms provide additional clearance at those points. The downside is that replacing A Arms is the more expensive route but if you're having tire wear problems they are the answer.

I went with the Marshall Motoart lift kit on the exact same machine (2019 ranger crew xp1000) - haven’t had any issues, and haven’t noticed and ride quality issues. Big fan so far. Www.Marshallmotoart.com

The Marshall Moto Art lift doesn't move the shock tops out, just down slightly. No reduction of ride quality.
My NS 3 seater remains deluxe riding...
Now with S3 HD springs, the ride does suffer.

Have an mma lift sitting on the shelf in the garage. I would have to disagree.

I have a MMA kit on my '20 NS now. The top mount drops down not out, keeping pretty much at the same angle.
That is the benefit of the MMA kit. Its not like to other top mounts bracket lifts that move the top location out. I did my homework at the time.
Pics are seldom, and mine are vaporized, but here is a screen grab of an install vid.
I'll take pics of mine on my rig tomorrow.
The MMA lift is slick and simple, well designed.
I know you know your stuff RJ, but I think you are mistaking kits on this one.

Edit: The Highlifter 3"bracket lift looks to orient such as the MMA, ie lowering the top mount (not angling the shock out). I think it would be a decent lift also.

Edit: My MMA 2.5" lift. Shock angle not changed. The lift is in the same shock plane/travel as original.
Its good to know.

Have you gotten the lift yet? I have same model and got the highlighter 3” lift with 2” wheel spacers all around. No issues and I do slightly tougher riding than smooth dirt roads. Currently running stock rzr wheels (14” rim, 29” tires).
