Porsche Cayenne 955/957 & VW Touareg 3-Inch Air Suspension Lift Kit – Complete Set (2002–2010)
The maximum-clearance lift for the Gen 1 Cayenne and Touareg platform. Forged 7075 aluminum and high-carbon manganese steel spacers fit above the factory strut top mounts, retaining the factory air suspension while delivering the largest tyre fitment the platform will take.
This is a complete set. Geometry correction is required at 3 inches, and every part for it is included — the 2-inch subframe drop kit, tubular upper control arms, adjustable sway bar end links and adjustable level sensor links. Nothing extra to buy.
Two choices to make above: first your car, then your adjustment type.
Each generation has its own kit — both Porsche and VW facelifted these cars for the 2008 model year, so the hardware is matched to the car you pick from the Select your vehicle dropdown.
Then, under Adjustment type: Blue is the manually adjustable version — you set the correction yourself to suit your wheel and tyre package. Gray is fixed — preset at the factory, nothing to adjust. Choose blue if you want to fine-tune the geometry after fitting; gray if you would rather fit it and leave it.

Geometry Correction — Required at 3 Inches, Included in the Set
At 3 inches of lift, CV angles, control arm geometry, and sway bar angles are all significantly affected, so correction is not optional. That is why this kit ships as a complete set. It includes a 2-inch subframe drop kit — deeper than the 1-inch drop used with our 2-inch lifts, to match the extra height — together with the Tubular Upper Control Arms, Adjustable Sway Bar End Links and Adjustable Level Sensor Links, all in the same order. Fit everything together, then book a full wheel alignment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which options should I select?
Two choices. First your car: the 955 is 2002–2007, the 957 is the 2008–2010 facelift; on the Touareg, Gen 1 is 2002–2007 and Gen 1.5 Facelift is 2008–2010. Then your adjustment type: blue for manually adjustable geometry correction, gray for the fixed version. If you are unsure which generation yours is, email your VIN to info@overlandtrek.com before you order.
What is included in the set?
Front and rear lift spacers and hardware, plus the 2-inch subframe drop kit, tubular upper control arms, adjustable sway bar end links and adjustable level sensor links. You do not need to buy any of these parts separately.
Why a 2-inch subframe drop kit and not 1-inch?
The drop is matched to the lift. Our 2-inch lifts use a 1-inch subframe drop; at 3 inches the CV and control arm angles are steeper, so this set uses a deeper 2-inch drop to bring them back into their working range.
What is the difference between the blue and gray versions?
Blue is manually adjustable — you set the geometry correction yourself, which lets you fine-tune it to your wheel and tyre package after fitting. Gray is fixed, preset at the factory, with nothing to adjust. Both correct the geometry; the blue version simply gives you control over how much. If you are running an unusual wheel offset or a larger tyre than standard, the adjustable version is the safer choice.
Does this remove or replace the factory air suspension?
No. The factory air suspension is completely retained. The spacers fit above the factory strut top mounts, so all air suspension components, sensors, and compressors stay in place and operational.
Is geometry correction really required at 3 inches?
Yes — required, not optional, and it is all included in this set. Running a 3-inch lift without correction causes accelerated tyre wear, poor handling, and potential CV joint failure, so fit every part in the set before driving.
Is a wheel alignment required?
Yes. Fit all the parts in the set, then book a full wheel alignment immediately. Do not drive long distances before both are done.
Is a 3-inch lift legal where I live?
Vehicle modification and ride height laws vary considerably by country and by US state, and a 3-inch lift exceeds the limit in some regions. Check your local regulations before fitting. If you need to stay within a lower limit, our 2-inch kit may be the better option.
What is the largest tyre I can run?
Around 285/70R18 with suitable wheel offset. Email info@overlandtrek.com with your wheel specs for a precise recommendation.
What warranty is included?
A limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. If a product fails because of a defect in materials or workmanship, we repair or replace it at no charge. It does not cover damage from accidents, misuse or improper installation, or normal wear and tear. To make a claim, email info@overlandtrek.com with your order number, photos of the issue and a brief description. Full terms are on our Shipping, Warranty & Returns page.
