Built for riders who demand maximum torque, strength, and reliability, the High Lifter 4" Portal Gear Lift (30% Dual Idler) delivers a serious performance advantage for Can-Am Maverick Sport, Defender, and Commander models. This system isn’t just about lift—it’s engineered to handle abuse, reduce drivetrain stress, and unlock bigger tire capability with confidence.
At the heart of this kit is a 30% dual idler gear system that spreads load across twice as many gear teeth. The result is reduced stress, lower operating temperatures, and smoother power delivery compared to single-idler portal designs. For riders running hard in mud, rocks, or heavy utility use, this translates to longer component life and consistent performance under load.
Key engineering advantages include:
-
Forged aluminum gear boxes that outperform cast and billet alternatives in strength and impact resistance
-
Optional gear box venting to improve cooling and extend gasket and seal life
-
High-density Kevlar fiber gaskets that resist creep and eliminate the need for sealant
-
Dual oil seals on the spindle shaft and a true triple-seal input shaft with wiper to block water intrusion
-
5/16" steel backing plates with bent flanges and welded gussets for unmatched rigidity
-
Precision-ground stainless steel rotors with slots for heat dissipation and easier service
-
CNC-machined, heat-treated alloy steel gears for quiet operation and precise fitment
This portal lift allows up to 33" tires with portals alone and 35" tires with forward arms, while maintaining proper geometry. If you’re looking for a Can-Am portal gear lift that clearly outclasses competitors in materials, sealing, and gear design, this High Lifter system is built to dominate.
