Can-Am Maverick Lift Kits
The far bank of a creek crossing is where a stock Maverick X3 runs out of room. A 64-inch X3 leaves the factory with about 14 inches of ground clearance on 30-inch tires, so the skid plate meets every shale ledge first. SuperATV's 6-inch kit raises that to 20 inches and clears 38-inch tires. A 3-inch billet aluminum bracket kit gets the same car onto 29.5-inch tires for $301.79, and High Lifter's 4-inch portal adds a 30% gear reduction to turn the bigger rubber.
Fit on a Maverick comes down to three things: model line, chassis width and trim. X3 and X3 MAX kits split between 64-inch and 72-inch models, and SuperATV's 6-inch kit fits the 64-inch cars only. The 2018 and newer Maverick Sport and Trail take their own kits, and XMR, XRS and XDS trims change which spring and portal kits apply. The original 2013 Maverick 1000 has a dedicated 2-inch High Lifter kit. High Lifter, SuperATV and Catvos make up the brand bench here. We've been the go-to online destination for aftermarket UTV parts since 2010, back when the Yamaha Rhino, Ranger 700 and RZR 800 were the talk of the UTV world. We're the fitment experts.

BUYER'S GUIDE: Can-Am Maverick Lift Kits for the X3, Sport and Trail — Bracket, Spring, Big-Lift and Portal
Bracket and spring lifts raise the suspension you already have. A big-lift kit replaces the arms and axles. A portal gear lift adds 4 inches at the hub and gears the machine down in the same box.
| Type | Material and specs | Best for | What you give up |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-inch bracket lift | Billet aluminum on the X3, machined 6061 on the Trail. No cutting, drilling or welding on the X3 kit | X3, X3 MAX and Trail owners stepping up to 29.5- to 32-inch tires | Tire growth stops around 32 inches, and the stock arms and axles stay |
| Adjustable spring lift | Front and rear lift springs. 4 to 8 inches on a 72-inch X3 XMR, about 3.5 inches on a 64-inch car | 2018-2019 X3 XMR mud builds headed for tires up to 36 inches | The higher the spring setting, the stiffer the ride |
| 6-inch big lift | 1-1/4-inch chromoly A-arms, boxed trailing arms in 1/8-inch steel plate, four axles included | 64-inch X3 and X3 MAX owners chasing 38-inch tires and 20 inches of clearance | No 72-inch or X RS fitment, and stock wheels need 1-inch spacers |
| Portal gear lift | 4 inches of lift with 15% or 30% gear reduction in forged, billet or cast aluminum housings | Mud and rock riders who want torque back after moving to 33- to 35-inch tires | Highest cost in the category, plus gear oil, seals and bearings to maintain |
Reading a Maverick Lift Kit Spec Sheet: Tubing, Gears and Seals
Good lift kits publish numbers. SuperATV lists 1-1/4-inch chromoly tubing on its X3 A-arms and 1/8-inch plate on the trailing arms. Catvos lists 1.5-inch DOM control arms with a .280-inch wall and 5/8-inch ball joint plates. A kit that only says heavy-duty has told you nothing. On portals, check the gears and the fine print. SuperATV cuts its gears from 9310 billet steel, and its lifetime portal coverage excludes bearings, seals and gaskets.
The first thing our fitment team asks about an X3 lift is whether the car is a 64-inch or a 72-inch model. That one number decides whether SuperATV's 6-inch kit fits at all. The kits here are built for a home garage, and many of our listings carry a downloadable install guide.
Where the Money Goes on a Lifted Maverick
The entry point is $301.79 for SuperATV's 3-inch kit on the X3 and X3 MAX, or its 3-inch Trail kit at the same price, each with a lifetime warranty. A 2013 Maverick 1000 has a lower floor in High Lifter's 2-inch kit at $249.95.
The sweet spot is High Lifter's 5-inch spring lift at $521.95. On a 72-inch 2018-2019 X3 XMR its front and rear springs adjust from 4 to 8 inches and clear 36-inch tires.
The premium tier runs from $2,449.95 to $3,955.00. SuperATV's Sport portal opens it, its X3 6-inch big lift is $2,782.17, High Lifter's X3 portal is $3,525.00 and its X3 MAX dual idler portal tops the range at $3,955.00. Catvos' X3 6-inch kit runs $3,294.50 to $3,679.50 plus a $99.99 shared shipping charge. Past $1,000 you can split the payment through Affirm at checkout, and every listing carries our price match guarantee. Price tires and wheels with the kit, since SuperATV's Sport portal needs 14-inch or larger wheels with 4 inches of backspacing or less.
The most common warranty is between 3-6 months, but Everything Can-Am Offroad does offer extended 1- and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in — you can add the extended warranty right at checkout. Many of the manufacturers here add a lifetime warranty of their own. You can also see what Can-Am owners say about us.

Before You Lift Your Maverick: Common Questions
Does a lift kit for a 64-inch Maverick X3 fit a 72-inch X3?
Not always. SuperATV's 6-inch kit fits 64-inch X3 and X3 MAX models only and excludes the X RS. Its 3-inch kit fits 64- and 72-inch cars with different tire limits, 29.5 inches and 32 inches. High Lifter's XMR spring kit lifts 4 to 8 inches on the 72-inch car but about 3.5 on the 64-inch. Each listing's fitment chart names the width.
Will a Maverick Sport or Trail lift kit fit a Maverick X3 or X3 MAX four-seater?
No. The X3 is a separate platform. The Trail 3-inch kit fits the 2018 and newer Trail 800 and 1000, and the Sport portal fits the 2018 and newer Sport. For the X3 MAX four-seater, SuperATV's 3-inch and 6-inch X3 kits list MAX fitment, and High Lifter sells a separate X3 MAX portal.
Do I need stronger axles after lifting a Maverick X3?
It depends on the kit. SuperATV's 6-inch kit ships with four axles, your choice of Rhino 2.0 in 4340 chromoly with an 18-month warranty or X300 in 300M steel with a 3-year warranty. High Lifter's X3 portal keeps factory suspension angles, and a 3-inch bracket kit leaves the stock axles in place.
How much upkeep does a portal gear lift need?
More than a bracket kit. Fill the boxes with 80W-90 gear oil only, since grease causes gear and bearing failure and voids SuperATV's warranty. Seals and bearings are yours to replace, and SuperATV's rebuild kit covers one portal box for $39.15 to $103.83.
