After Installation — Important
A full wheel alignment is required after installation. At 3 inches of lift, geometry correction is also essential — see below. Do not drive the vehicle without completing both steps.
Geometry Correction — Required at 3 Inches
At 3 inches of lift, CV angles, control arm geometry, and sway bar angles are significantly affected. The 3-Inch Lift Kit must be paired with our Subframe Drop Kit, Tubular Upper Control Arms, Adjustable Sway Bar End Links, and Adjustable Level Sensor Links.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this remove or replace the factory air suspension?
No — the factory air suspension is completely retained. The 3-Inch Lift Kit forged aluminum spacers install above the factory strut top mounts, adding ride height while leaving all air suspension components, sensors, and compressors fully in place and operational.
Is geometry correction really required at 3 inches?
Yes — required, not optional. At 3 inches, CV angles, control arm geometry, and sway bar angles are significantly affected. Running the 3-Inch Lift Kit without geometry correction will cause accelerated tyre wear, poor handling, and potential CV joint failure. You must pair this kit with our Subframe Drop Kit, Tubular Upper Control Arms, Adjustable Sway Bar End Links, and Adjustable Level Sensor Links.
Is a wheel alignment required after installation?
Yes — a full wheel alignment is required. Book an alignment appointment immediately after fitting and geometry correction installation. Do not drive long distances without alignment.
Is this lift kit legal for road use?
The 3-Inch Lift Kit lifts the vehicle under 3 inches, which is within the road legal limit in most countries and US states. Vehicle modification laws vary by region — check your local regulations before fitting a suspension lift.
What warranty does this come with?
1-year warranty. Free replacement parts for any defect or failure within 12 months of purchase. Contact info@overlandtrek.com with your order number.
What geometry correction parts do I need?
Subframe Drop Kit, Tubular Upper Control Arms, Adjustable Sway Bar End Links, and Adjustable Level Sensor Links (for air suspension vehicles). Email info@overlandtrek.com and we will build a complete parts list for your vehicle.
What is the largest tyre I can run?
Approximately 285/70R18 or similar with proper wheel offset. Contact info@overlandtrek.com with your wheel specs for a precise recommendation.

Used this kit on my 2004 VW Touareg for an overlanding build. Fitment was accurate and all components lined up properly. The extra 3 inches gave enough clearance for my larger all-terrain tires. Ride comfort is still close to stock, which was a big concern for me.
Product quality feels strong and durable, not cheap like some aftermarket kits. I’ve taken my Touareg on multiple dirt trails since installing it and everything is holding up well. No unusual noises or vibration so far. Definitely worth it for light to moderate off-road use.
Installed this lift kit on my 2008 Cayenne 957 and the difference is immediately noticeable. The vehicle sits much higher and handles rough trails without scraping anymore. Installation was straightforward with basic tools, no cutting needed as described. Overall, it feels stable even at highway speeds after alignment.
Good value for the price compared to other suspension lift options. The kit arrived complete and packaging was secure. After installation, the SUV feels more capable on uneven terrain and steep driveways. I would recommend it for anyone starting an overland build on these platforms.
Solid upgrade for anyone wanting a more aggressive stance. I installed it on a Cayenne 955 and it completely changed the look of the vehicle. Off-road capability improved a lot, especially on rocky paths. Only advice is to get a proper alignment after installation.
