The Overlandtrek 3-Inch Lift Kit is the maximum-clearance lift for the Gen 1 Cayenne and Touareg platform. Precision-machined forged aluminum spacers are installed above the factory strut top mounts — retaining the factory air suspension system completely — to deliver the most aggressive stance and the largest possible tyre fitment for serious overland and off-road use.

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.

3-Inch Lift Kit Built for Durability
The 3-Inch Lift Kit is engineered with forged aluminum spacers that guarantee long-lasting durability and superior strength on lifted builds. Its rugged design not only delivers maximum clearance for the platform but also provides excellent resistance against the stress of lifted ride heights. Tailored specifically for the Porsche Cayenne 955, 957, and VW Touareg Gen 1, this 3-Inch Lift Kit maintains structural integrity without compromising factory mounting points, making it an essential upgrade for serious overland builds running large tyres.
Enhanced Off-Road Functionality of the 3-Inch Lift Kit
Designed for the demands of serious off-road use, the 3-Inch Lift Kit delivers the most aggressive stance and largest possible tyre fitment on the Gen 1 Cayenne and Touareg platform. This allows your vehicle to clear obstacles and run aggressive trail tyres with confidence. Additionally, the 3-Inch Lift Kit retains the factory air suspension system completely, giving you the comfort of OEM ride quality with the capability of a maximum lift. Such features significantly improve vehicle capability in demanding environments.
Easy Installation and Vehicle Compatibility
The 3-Inch Lift Kit is crafted for a precise fit on the Cayenne 955, 957, and Touareg Gen 1 platforms, ensuring seamless integration with factory strut top mounts. Installation of the 3-Inch Lift Kit is direct bolt-on, requiring no cutting, drilling, or welding. This straightforward installation helps owners reach maximum lift efficiently, letting them get back to driving without delay. Compatibility across the VW Group platform and bolt-on simplicity are key benefits valued by Cayenne and Touareg owners running this kit.
