About our 3-inch Lift Kits

Ready to turn your offroad vehicle into a pavement cruiser into an off-road beast? CalOffroad’s massive range of 3-inch lift kits is for every adventurer, whether you’re tackling trails, dunes or just want that aggressive stance.

A 3-inch lift is the sweet spot for unlocking your vehicle’s true potential by giving you more capability and on-road comfort. 3 inches of ground clearance means rocks, ruts, and steep inclines become playthings. Improved approach and departure angles mean you can tackle obstacles head-on without bumper kisses. A 3-inch lift kit can also correct the factory ‘nose down’ appearance, levelling the nose and giving your vehicle a more balanced stance. Let’s face it, a lifted vehicle is going to make you stand out on the roads and the trails.

Many of our kits have options for shocks, struts and control arms so you can fine-tune performance and ride quality. Our experts are always happy to help you through these choices.

CalOffroad caters to a wide range of vehicles and driving styles. We offer 4x4 lift kits specifically designed for popular models:

Benefits of Upgrading to a 3-Inch Lift Kit

Upgrading your vehicle with a 3-inch lift kit opens up a world of off-road adventures and daily driving. One of the biggest benefits is the massive increase in ground clearance, you can now confidently drive over rocks, ruts and uneven terrain that would challenge a stock suspension. Whether you drive a Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger or another popular 4x4, a 3 inch lift gives your vehicle the extra height to tackle steep inclines and declines, reducing the risk of scraping or damaging the underside.

A 3-inch lift kit also improves your approach and departure angles, making it easier to tackle obstacles without worrying about your bumpers or chassis taking a hit. This extra capability is especially useful for vehicles like the Toyota Landcruiser, Colorado and BT-50, which are often put to the test in tough environments. Beyond off-road capability, a 3 inch lift kit can also improve your vehicle’s stability and handling on and off road. By allowing for bigger tyres, you get better traction and a more commanding presence. Many modern suspension lift kits, including those for the Toyota Landcruiser 200 and other top models, have revised valving and longer shocks. These upgrades work together to give you a smoother ride quality and better performance, no matter where you go.

Of course, the visual impact of a 3 inch lift shouldn’t be ignored. The aggressive stance and higher profile not only turn heads but also reflect the adventurous spirit of your build. For many enthusiasts, this is as much about style as it is about substance.

When choosing a 3-inch lift kit, you need to consider your driving needs and the terrain you’ll be tackling. Some kits may require additional modifications, such as wheel spacers or bigger tyres, to ensure fitment and performance. Choosing a high-quality kit from a reputable manufacturer—especially for vehicles like the Colorado or Landcruiser—gives you durability, reliability and peace of mind on every drive.

Ultimately, upgrading to a 3 inch lift kit is about unlocking your vehicle’s full potential. With the right suspension lift kit, you’ll have more confidence, capability and comfort whether you’re exploring remote trails or making a statement on the open road.
