Can-Am Maverick X3 4" Long Travel Kit, 64" to 72" Conversion with Rhino 2.0 Axles

The stock 64" Can-Am Maverick X3 is a fast machine, but push it hard through whoops, sweepers, or a rock garden and you'll feel it get tippy and skittish. This 4" per side long travel kit fixes that at the root. It turns a 64" X3 into a 72" machine, so it sits flatter in the corners, crawls with more confidence, and lets you run bigger tires. It's a complete bolt-on conversion with A-arms, trailing arms, radius arms, tie rods, and Rhino 2.0 axles in the box, so you aren't hunting down parts to finish the job.

Go From 64" to 72" Wide

Width is what makes a long travel X3 feel planted. This kit adds 4" of suspension width on each side of the machine, 8" total, which turns your 64" X3 into a 72" wide machine that's right at home in the desert, in the dunes, or crawling over ledges. You get more stability at speed, more usable suspension travel, and room for bigger tires: up to 32" with the tubed or Atlas Pro A-arms, and up to 36" with the 1.5" forward offset Sidewinder A-arms. It's the kind of change you notice on the very first obstacle, and every ride after that.

High-Strength Steel Trailing Arms

Every version of this kit comes with heavy-duty steel trailing arms and billet aluminum hex radius arms in the rear. The trailing arms are built from 1/8" heavy-duty steel plate with internal gussets, so they hold up when the rear end takes a hard landing or slams into a rock. The high-clearance design adds strength right where your shock and sway bar mount, which are the spots that take the most abuse. The sway bar links come preadjusted, so the rear suspension is set up to work the way it should as soon as it's bolted on.

Pick Your A-Arm Package

You choose the front A-arms when you order. All three choices give you the full 72" width; the difference is tubing size, offset, and how big a tire you want to run.

1.25" Diameter Tubed A-Arms and Hex Radius Arms

The standard package uses 1.25" diameter tubed A-arms that are built to get the job done day in and day out. They have 1.5" high-clearance bends to help you get over rocks and stumps without hanging up, and adjustable pivot blocks so the arms can be set up right. This package comes with solid steel bar tie rods for serious steering strength. In the rear, the billet aluminum hex radius arms are also 1.25" in diameter, very strong, and preadjusted to match factory 72" specs, so the 72" machine runs smooth over just about anything.

1.5" Diameter Atlas Pro A-Arms and Hex Radius Arms

If you ride aggressively, the Atlas Pro A-arms are a full step up in size over stock. The tubing is a massive 1.5" in diameter. That's .5" bigger than the stock arms and .25" bigger than the standard offset A-arms, which makes the Atlas Pro the biggest A-arm in this lineup. This package comes with the same solid steel bar tie rods and hex aluminum radius arms as the standard kit, so the whole front and rear are built to the same tough standard.

1.5" Forward Offset Sidewinder A-Arms and Boxed Radius Arms

The Sidewinder package is the top-tier setup. The Sidewinder A-arms have the tapered box style they're known for and proven strength to back it up. Their 1.5" forward offset gives you room to run 36" tires, so you can put the size and tread you actually need under the machine. This package pairs the Sidewinders with beefy hex aluminum tie rods and boxed radius arms made from an advanced steel alloy. If you're building an X3 to take a beating at speed, this is the package to look at.

Lifetime Warranty on the Hard Parts

No matter which A-arm package you choose, the conversion kit is backed by a lifetime warranty. If you break the tie rods, A-arms, or trailing arms, they'll be replaced. The non-wear parts of the kit, including the A-arms, trailing arms, and radius arms, are covered for life, while the included Rhino 2.0 axles carry their own 18-month warranty.

Order It With Ball Joints Already Installed

Want more time on the trail and less time in the garage? Pick a set of Heavy-Duty 4340 chromoly, Super Duty 300M, or Keller Performance ball joints in the options, and they come pressed into the A-arms for you. That means you don't need to buy a press, wrestle the old ball joints out, and press them into the new arms yourself. It saves a lot of time, it saves you a trip to a shop, and you end up with a stronger set of ball joints than stock. If you'd rather reuse your existing ball joints and do that work yourself, choose that option and the kit uses your OEM ball joints.

Rhino 2.0 Axles Are the Backbone

A long travel kit only works if the axles can take it, and stock axles aren't long enough for this width anyway. That's why four Rhino 2.0 axles come with the kit. They're twice as strong as stock, with maximized CV joints and 4340 chromoly steel components, and they're among the strongest axles on the market. They're made to carry you and your X3 through ride after ride of hard, high-speed abuse.

Long Travel Kit Questions

What does a long travel kit do for a Can-Am Maverick X3?

It increases suspension width and usable travel. That gives the X3 better stability, better cornering, and more control on rough ground. This kit converts a 64" Maverick X3 into a 72" wide machine that feels planted at speed and more predictable in rocks, dunes, and on the trail.

How much wider does it make the machine?

It adds 4" of suspension width per side, 8" overall, taking the X3 from 64" to 72" wide. That extra width makes a big difference when you're pushing hard through corners or climbing technical obstacles.

What size tire can I run?

It depends on the A-arms you choose. The tubed and Atlas Pro A-arms clear up to 32" tires. The 1.5" forward offset Sidewinder A-arms clear up to 36" tires.

Will it fit my X3?

The kit is made for 64" wide Maverick X3 models across multiple years and trims, including Turbo, DS, RR, MAX, and X MR versions, and it comes in Smart-Lok and non-Smart-Lok versions. Check your year, trim, width, and differential type against the fitment table below before you order. Many owners aren't sure which trim they have, so confirm it from your VIN or paperwork if you're unsure.

Does it come with axles and steering parts?

Yes. The kit includes Rhino 2.0 axles, heavy-duty tie rods, A-arms, trailing arms, and radius arms, everything needed for a complete conversion. The Rhino 2.0 axles are essential for handling the added travel and hard riding.

How hard is the install?

It's a bolt-on kit, but it's more involved than a basic suspension upgrade because you're replacing a lot of parts. All the arms and radius rods come preadjusted for factory-correct camber at 72", which cuts down on setup time and alignment headaches.

What makes this kit so strong?

It's built with heavy-duty steel trailing arms, large-diameter tubed or boxed A-arms, and billet aluminum hex radius arms. Every part is designed, tested, and proven on the trail to survive hard riding without bending or breaking.
