High Lifter Portal Gear Lift 6" Defender (MAX Models) - 45% Single Idler Version

Want lift plus power and performance? High Lifter engineered a gearing setup for a 6” portal with 45% gear reduction. You can run a larger tire size between a 33 to 39 inches and have the torque and horsepower you need. The 45% gear reduction is a robust set of portals giving height and power in any terrain. Mud Riding – geared to get you out of the thickest mud holes and 6 inches of height to pass over anything that comes in your way. Rock Climbing – 45% gear reduction makes that rocky terrain seem easy. You’ll have the power to ease right over rocks and boulders, plus added lift to run big tires to go places your friends can’t.

Why is this 6” kit better than our competitor?

Forged Gear Boxes

• Strongest boxes on the market because forging produces a tougher piece of metal
• Forging is stronger than both cast and billet aluminum
• Competitors use cast aluminum and billet aluminum boxes
• These portal boxes are extremely robust and give you more worry-free miles than any other portal

Gear Box Venting

• Customers asked for box venting and we give you the option
• Our box design offers a plug for venting with an optional easy to install kit that will be available soon
• Vent kits allow an advantage of cooling which reduces early deterioration of the gaskets and seals

Gasket Material and Design

• High density Kevlar fiber gaskets plus no additional sealant is needed
• Gasket material is creep resistant plus oil and coolant resistant

Seals

• Two oil seals on the spindle shaft for 100% more sealing area
• Dual seals prevent water intrusion and oil leaks
• True triple seal on the input shaft which includes a wiper seal that provides a significant extra layer of protection

Backing Plate

• These are the strongest backing plates on the market
• 5/16” steel plate with Bent flanges for strength and durability
• Welded gusset brackets and designed to factory off-set
• Works with all control arms that are built to factory hub specifications

13” Rotor

• Precision ground stainless steel rotors (this is a big deal for brake performance)
• Access holes for ease of assembly and disassembly
• Slotted rotor allows for heat dissipation and cooling

Gear Profile

• Alloy steel heat treating process increases overall internal and external strength
• CNC precision ground machining ensures excellent fitment and increased strength
• Controlled gear lapping for ease of installation and a quieter performance

Changeability

• The High Lifter 45% Single Idler Kit can be converted to a 60% Single Idler Kit.
• This is great for having a less expensive option when you increase tire size. You won’t need a completely new portal kit.
