Take your Can-Am to the next level with the High Lifter 4" Portal Gear Lift, engineered for riders who demand extreme durability, torque management, and tire clearance without compromise. Designed for Maverick Sport MAX, Commander MAX, and Defender MAX models, this portal system delivers a true 4-inch lift while reducing drivetrain strain and improving off-road performance in the toughest conditions.
At the core of this system is High Lifter’s advanced 15% dual idler gear design. By spreading load across twice as many gear teeth, the dual idler setup reduces heat, minimizes wear, and delivers smoother power transfer compared to single-idler portal systems. The forged aluminum gear boxes provide a major advantage over cast or billet alternatives, offering superior strength and impact resistance for aggressive trail riding, mud, and rock crawling.
Sealing and longevity are equally prioritized. Dual oil seals on the spindle shaft double the sealing surface, while a triple-seal input shaft system with an integrated wiper helps keep water and debris out. High-density Kevlar fiber gaskets eliminate the need for additional sealant, and optional gear box venting improves cooling and extends seal life during heavy use.
This portal gear lift allows up to 33" tires with the portal alone and up to 35" tires when paired with forward arms. Precision-ground alloy steel gears, stainless steel rotors, and reinforced steel backing plates complete a system built for long-term reliability. If you’re looking for a premium Can-Am portal lift that outperforms competitors in strength, sealing, and engineering, this High Lifter kit is built to lead the pack.
