Description
Description
A precision-engineered 3.5” spring lift for Cayenne 955/957 delivering maximum height without requiring UCAs. Multi-stage top spacers paired with our V1 subframe drop restore OEM-safe geometry and full alignment capability.
The Akioverland True 3.5-Inch Spring Lift Kit is the highest lift achievable on the Gen 1 Cayenne platform without requiring an aftermarket upper control arm. This system is engineered for builders and off-road users who demand maximum ride height, preserved geometry, and reliable long-term articulation.
Unlike generic modular systems that rely on oversized single-piece spacers or reused components across multiple platforms, this kit uses a multi-stage extended top-mount spacer architecture. Each layer is designed to maintain the strut’s natural load path, prevent top-hat distortion, and keep the upper ball joint within its operating envelope.
Paired with the Akioverland V1 subframe drop, the suspension pivot points return to near-factory alignment angles—unlocking proper camber recovery, protecting CV joints, and preventing the excessive bushing preload often seen in incorrectly lifted vehicles.
The result is a true hardware 3.5-inch lift that remains geometry-correct, daily-driveable, and highly capable off-road.
Engineering Deep Dive
Why This 3.5-Inch System Works Without UCA Upgrades
Most brands require UCAs beyond 2–2.5”, but the Akioverland system avoids this by:
1. Multi-Stage Spacer Architecture
-
Distributes lift across several planes
-
Maintains top-mount perpendicularity by angled spacers
-
Eliminates UCA over-extension
-
Prevents ball joint binding at full droop
2. V1 Subframe Drop Correction
-
Realigns axle and lower arm geometry
-
Reduces effective lift “seen” by the suspension
-
Prevents aggressive negative camber curves
-
Restores caster into optimal range
3. Factory Alignment Window Compatibility
The 955/957 chassis offers generous adjustment range.
Our hardware respects this envelope, allowing:
-
Camber to return to factory specs
-
Toe curve stability
-
Predictable bump-steer characteristics
