How to Install Can-Am Maverick X3 Dual-Rate Spring Kit 

If this fine gentleman was my teacher in school, I would have learned more, understood more, enjoyed school more, and amounted to a helluva lot more. Holy crap is he clear as a bell ringing in the cold, crisp sunshine of a winter day. Love this channel.

I feel obligated to buy a spring kit after that 👍

I wish I could like this video twice! The best shock education I've ever had.

The last 10 minutes is extremely valuable

I know I’m late to the sxs game but just installing the drs spring kit on my brand new 23 max smart shox👍 today. This is the best daymn instruction video ever. Can’t wait to get the ride improvment kit next when my shocks need a rebuilds👍👍👍

This is a really good video. I have been watching pretty much every video about X3 suspension stuff. I am honestly ordering sprins now. Like right now.

Nice video, lots of info and makes much more sense. Have Mark at Queens sending mine in this week, I’m hoping that I can stop bottoming out my XRS. Family ride with coolers spare tire, jack and lots of hope it doesn’t break but I have the tools to fix it weight. Still run it like I stole it but has to be semi reliable . Looking forward to what you do with my set.

Thank you for the super clear video. I look forward to your 64" instructional.

Great info once again! Thanks guys! By the way your technician looks like "Green Mario" tell him it's a compliment!

Great! Very informative! Quick question, where could I buy one of those spring compressor's? What is the brand of the one you guys use?

BTW the front springs are next to impossible without a proper spring compressor like would be found in a shop. Widow-makers and ratchet straps will NOT work. That being said, the rears are GRAVY and can be done pretty easy at home.

The XRS has the extra 3rd spring on top rear. Does that just get removed completely?

What brand is that compressor

I just installed your springs on my 2020 X3 rr max. A huge difference. The marshmallow corners are gone. The control is much tighter. Question: where should I put the high and low speed compression settings as start? Where should the rebound be as well for trails that are fast straight and lots whoops? Also settings for trails that are slower and bumpy? Thanks in advance Pat.

Great, great video. I would love your advice. My sand tires are labeled as 30's but they only measure 27" tall because not only are they Skat Traks, which are scrubbed thinner for the sand, but they are also inflated to only 7 PSI for dune riding. First question: Do you guys measure true tire height and adjust the goal of 16" ride height accordingly, or do you accept the stated tire height on the sidewall? Anyway, with these tires my 2019 Can Am X3 Max XRS sits at 13" ride height with the driver seated. (It was 11" before I had the dealer increase the preload). They increased the preload to 5.25" in the front and 10.25" in the back to get the 13" ride height. Cross-over measurements are 7.75" in the front and 13.25" in the back. (All are measured exactly as prescribed in your video). Total spring length (installed) is now 17.5" at the front and 21" at the back. My XRS has only 400 miles on it (it sat unused for a long time). Adjusting for all that, I calculate that I would be 16" ride height if I had 30" true tire height. Does that sound right? Last question: Does it sound like I am okay for now, or should I consider ordering your springs? I would love your thoughts.

What’s the price of this set up if I brought my x3 max to your shop and had you do all installation and setup?

Nice review

Great videos Justin, way easier than reading instructions lol. When is the steering rack coming for the x3?

Typically what is the average life of the shock before needing a rebuild? I’m thinking of doing this since my springs did settle down.

I recently bought a dual rate suspension kit from you and will be installing them this weekend. I have a 2021 XRS Turbo RR Smart Shox with 30" tires. Are the given adjustments and the numbers in the video same for my X3?

The smart shox have a wire coming out of the bottom of the shock, what has to be done to replace the spring considering the plug for the wire is at the center of the car and the wire coming from the shock would be in the way?

Why the crossover ring are so near the plastic divider?

Do the springs come in Can Am Red also?

I had to adjust the ride height on my x3 after I installed the springs and when I adjusted 3/4 of an inch in the rear, ride height changed by an inch and a half. 2:1?

Which kit is this?

Do you guys have it in the same color? I have the same x3 but would like to keep the color on the springs

Thoughts on hill climbing on settings ? Dirt rock for traction. Thx

What if you've added additional weight like a spare & a heavier cage?

So I'm back and forth on selling my 2020 x3 rc 64 but have so much money dumped in it, cage, seats, wheels tires all the gussets etc also running your springs..... question is do you think selling and going to a 72 is worth the better travel vs a 64 with your springs a ris ?

Do you know the manufacturer of your coil compressor? I need one like that in our shop... Thanks and great video

Are you saying a turn in to slow rebound would that be clockwise ? Thx

Do you have any preferred installers in Salt Lake City? or Utah?

So since im running 32"tires shouod i automatically set tge preload 1inch more than what you guys suggest on the video while adjusting the preload ring

My 18 X3 XRS has a 3 spring rear shock and spring set up. I noticed only 2 in the rear on the video. Anything special to note about that?

I have the x3 turbo and i always have problems really low clearance do these springs work for a lift amd also doing 32" tires

What's the difference from doing the spring kit or send it to you to have them set up.

what would it cost to have you guys put the new springs on my X3? I am in the phoenix area.

Would this apply for a 2021 X3 with Smart Shox

Are this measurements just for your springs

Do these measurements also pertain to the 64” models with qs3 shocks?

I’ve got my shocks so screwed up

Really disappointed at Shock Therapy. They sell you a product but don't give you the set up for your machine. I have a 2021 Can AM maverick x3 xmr turbo rr. No instructions on how to set up the dual rate springs.
