Built for riders who demand strength over shortcuts, the High Lifter Can-Am 4" Portal Gear Lift (15% Dual Idler) is engineered to handle extreme torque loads while improving driveline longevity. Designed for Maverick Sport, Defender, and Commander models, this portal system delivers a true 4-inch lift and optimized gearing that reduces strain on axles, differentials, and CVs—especially when running larger tires or riding aggressively.
The 15% dual idler gear system is the core advantage. By distributing load across twice as many gear teeth, it cuts stress in half compared to single-idler portals, resulting in smoother power transfer and reduced heat buildup. Forged aluminum gear boxes take durability even further, offering superior strength over cast or billet designs commonly used by competitors. Optional gearbox venting enhances cooling and extends seal life during long, demanding rides.
Attention to sealing and structural integrity sets this kit apart. Dual oil seals on the spindle shaft provide double the sealing surface, while a true triple-seal input shaft with wiper helps keep water and debris out. High-density Kevlar fiber gaskets eliminate the need for sealant and resist creep, oil, and coolant. Reinforced 5/16-inch steel backing plates with bent flanges and welded gussets add rigidity, while precision-ground stainless steel slotted rotors and CNC-machined alloy steel gears ensure quiet operation and long-term reliability.
Capable of running up to 33-inch tires with portals alone—or 35-inch tires with forward arms—this High Lifter portal gear lift is a premium solution for Can-Am owners who prioritize engineering, durability, and real-world performance over entry-level designs.
