8” GDP Portal Gear Lift for Can-Am Maverick X3
Gear Down and Go Big
If you’re chasing maximum lift and extreme torque, this 8” GDP Portal Gear Lift is built for it. You get clearance for up to 40” tires and your choice of 45%, 60%, or 70% gear reductions. Add the dual idler upgrade for even more durability. Once installed, your Maverick X3 gets a towering stance and the power to sling mud harder than ever.
What Is a Dual Idler?
Dual idler portals use two idler gears to spread the load, improving torque transfer and overall strength. Each gear is precision CNC-ground and made from premium 9310 steel alloy. The result is a smoother, stronger, more reliable portal box built for brutal riding.
45%, 60%, and 70% Reductions for Mud Riding
This lift is designed for riders who want deep-mud dominance. The huge 8” lift paired with aggressive reductions gives your machine the torque needed to push massive 40” tires through thick bounty holes and sticky trails.
Reduction That Protects Your Drivetrain
Since the gear reduction is located in the hub, the strain on your drivetrain is significantly reduced. Your axles, differential, prop shafts, and transmission get less wear and more longevity.
Stronger Housings and Backing Plates
These portals are engineered to handle punishing terrain. Choose from cast aluminum housings or USA-made 6061 billet aluminum for maximum strength. Combined with 5/16” advanced steel alloy backing plates, you get unmatched durability.
- Reinforced housings optimized for oil flow and gear retention
- Backing plates stronger than chromoly
- Compatible with Portal Blood gear oil
- No vents for maximum reliability
Advanced Gaskets, Seals, and Bearings
- Oil-resistant gaskets and O-rings
- Sealed input gear and double-lipped output seal
- Full sealing coverage to prevent leaks
- Double-angular contact output bearings
- Roller idler and drive bearings for precise gear meshing
Frame Stiffener Required
An 8” portal setup needs proper support. A SuperATV Frame Stiffener is required to prevent frame bending under heavy loads and big-tire impacts.
