Can-Am Maverick X3 4" Long Travel Kit with Boxed A-Arms, 64" to 72"

If you've already broken a stock arm on your Can-Am Maverick X3, or you just know how hard you ride, this is the long travel kit built around boxed steel. It widens a 64" X3 to 72" for a flatter, more stable ride, and it swaps the tube-style front arms for high-clearance boxed A-arms that shrug off hits that would fold a lesser arm. Trailing arms, radius arms, a full tie rod assembly, and four Rhino 2.0 axles are all included, so it's one box and one install.

Why Riders Pick This Kit

• Extended-width design built to match this long travel suspension, taking the machine to 72"
• Boxed steel construction that resists bending and hard impacts
• High-clearance bends that help you get over trail obstacles instead of catching on them
• Vehicle-specific fit for a secure, straightforward install
• Lifetime A-arm warranty to protect your investment

Go From 64" to 72"

The kit adds 4" of suspension width to each side of the machine. That turns your 64" wide X3 into a 72" wide machine that eats up desert, dunes, and rock crawling sections without feeling nervous. The wider stance gives you more stability when you're driving flat-out, more suspension travel to soak up the hits, and room for bigger tires, up to 32". It corners better, it crawls better, and it rides better, and you'll feel that difference on every obstacle.

High-Strength Steel and Billet Aluminum Throughout

This kit comes complete with high-strength boxed A-arms up front, heavy-duty steel trailing arms in the rear, and billet aluminum hex radius arms to tie it all together. Here's what goes into each one.

Boxed A-Arms

The boxed A-arms are made from a high-strength steel alloy that's 13% stronger than chromoly steel. On top of that strong base material, they get robust internal gussets, adjustable chromoly pivot blocks, and chromoly ball joint housings. Every seam is TIG-welded by hand. The result is an arm built to last from top to bottom. They ship preadjusted for correct 72" camber, so you aren't guessing at alignment during the install.

Steel Trailing Arms

The trailing arms use the same 1/8" heavy-duty steel plate and internal gussets as the A-arms. Their high-clearance design adds strength right at the shock and sway bar mounts, which take a beating on rough ground. The sway bar links come preadjusted so the rear end is set up properly from the start.

Billet Aluminum Hex Radius Arms

The billet aluminum hex radius arms are 1.25" in diameter and very strong. They're preadjusted to match factory 72" specs, so the rear wheels track correctly once the kit is on.

All three of these parts, the A-arms, trailing arms, and radius arms, are backed by a lifetime warranty.

Order It With Ball Joints Already Installed

If you'd rather spend your weekend riding than pressing parts, choose Heavy-Duty 4340 chromoly, Super Duty 300M, or Keller Performance ball joints in the options and they come installed in the new arms. You won't need to buy a press, pull the old ball joints, or press them into the new arms yourself. That saves real time and money, and you end up with a set of ball joints that's stronger than stock. If you want to reuse your existing ball joints and do that work yourself, pick that option instead.

Rhino 2.0 Axles Included

This long travel kit is built around Rhino 2.0 axles, and four of them come in the box. Stock axles aren't long enough for the wider suspension, and these are both longer and stronger than stock. They're twice as strong as factory axles, with maximized CV joints and 4340 chromoly steel components, which puts them among the strongest axles on the market. They're made to carry you and your X3 through ride after ride of hard, fast riding.

Boxed Long Travel Kit Questions

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

It widens the suspension and adds usable travel, so the X3 stays flatter and more controlled at speed. This kit converts a 64" machine to 72" wide, which makes a big difference for desert riding, dunes, and aggressive trail use.

How much wider does it make the X3?

You gain 4" per side, turning a 64" Maverick X3 into a true 72" wide machine. That added width improves cornering confidence, stability while crawling, and control at high speed.

What size tire can I run?

The kit is designed to clear up to 32" tires, so you can run larger rubber without messing up the suspension geometry. Bigger tires plus the added width give you better obstacle clearance and flotation.

Why are boxed A-arms stronger than tubed arms?

These boxed A-arms are made from a high-strength steel alloy that's 13% stronger than chromoly, reinforced with internal gussets and TIG-welded seams. They also use chromoly pivot blocks and chromoly ball joint housings for maximum durability when you're riding hard.

Is this more than just A-arms?

Yes. It's a complete suspension package with boxed A-arms, heavy-duty steel trailing arms, billet aluminum hex radius arms, Rhino 2.0 axles, and all required hardware. Everything is matched to work together at 72" wide.

Why does the kit include Rhino 2.0 axles?

Stock axles aren't long enough for the wider suspension. The Rhino 2.0 axles in this kit are longer and stronger than stock, made from 4340 chromoly steel with maximized CV joints to survive hard use.

How hard is the install?

It's more involved than a basic suspension upgrade, but it's very manageable with standard tools and clear instructions. The kit is complete and bolt-on, and you can order it with ball joints preinstalled to save time.

What ball joints work with this kit?

You can reuse your existing ball joints or upgrade. Heavy-Duty and Super Duty ball joints are both stronger than stock, and Keller Performance ball joints are offered too. Choose any of them in the options and they come installed, so there's no press needed.

What's the warranty?

The non-wear suspension parts, including the boxed A-arms, trailing arms, and radius arms, are backed by a lifetime warranty. The Rhino 2.0 axles have an 18-month warranty. It's a long-term suspension setup for riders who push their machines.
