High Lifter 6 Inch Portal Gear Lift 60% Dual Idler for Can-Am Defender HD5, HD8 & HD10 (Standard Cab 2016–2021)

High Lifter 6 Inch Portal Gear Lift 60% Dual Idler for Can-Am Defender (Standard Cab)

Upgrade your workhorse with the High Lifter 6 Inch Portal Gear Lift 60% Dual Idler for Can-Am Defender. Designed for standard cab HD5, HD8, and HD10 models, this heavy-duty Portal Gear Lift 60% Dual Idler for Can-Am Defender delivers extreme torque multiplication, increased ground clearance, and long-term drivetrain protection.

The aggressive 60% gear reduction is ideal for riders running 40 inch tires or larger, restoring lost torque while significantly reducing strain on belts, axles, differentials, driveshafts, and transmission components.

60% Gear Reduction with Dual Idler Strength

High Lifter enhanced the portal gearbox by integrating a second idler gear inside the housing. This dual idler portal system spreads load across twice as many gear teeth, doubling contact surface area and reducing internal stress by half.

The result is smoother torque transfer, improved reliability, and longer gear life—especially important for hard-working Defender models used for mud riding, hauling, and heavy-duty tasks.

The 60% gearing also improves engine braking performance, extending brake life and increasing control in steep terrain and demanding off-road environments.

Forged Aluminum Portal Gear Boxes

Unlike competitors using cast or billet housings, High Lifter utilizes forged aluminum portal housings. Forging produces a stronger and tougher structure capable of handling the torque demands of HD5, HD8, and HD10 Defender platforms.

Advanced Sealing & Heavy-Duty Construction

• High-density Kevlar fiber gaskets resistant to oil and coolant
• No additional sealant required
• Dual oil seals on the spindle shaft for 100% more sealing area
• True triple-sealed input shaft with protective wiper seal
• Massive 5/16″ steel backing plates with bent flanges
