Maverick X3 72" Tier 1 High Clearance Radius Rods


Description

The CT Race Worx Tier 1 High Clearance Radius Rods for the Can-Am Maverick X3 72" are the ultimate suspension upgrade for serious off-road enthusiasts and racers who refuse to compromise. Built entirely from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum - twice the strength of the 6061 aluminum used by competitors - these rods deliver an industry-leading 2 inches of additional ground clearance over stock. Every component is handbuilt in the USA using American materials, with zero overseas sourcing, making these rods as patriotic as they are capable.

From the 1.25" thick plate lower rods housing FK 5/8" WSSX uniballs, to the solid 1-1/8" round upper rods with 3/4" FK JMX rod ends, every detail is engineered for maximum performance and longevity. A unique single-point toe adjuster lets you dial in camber and toe while the vehicle sits at ride height on its own weight - a feature no other manufacturer offers. These are the same caliber joints found on trophy trucks, and they're backed by a lifetime warranty on all aluminum parts.


Key Features

  • 7075-T6 Aircraft-Grade Aluminum: Twice the strength of 6061 aluminum - resists elongation, bending, denting, and scratching under extreme stress.
  • 2" Extra Ground Clearance: Industry-leading high clearance design adds 2 full inches of clearance over stock radius rods.
  • 1.25" Thick Plate Lower and Toe Rods: Lower and middle toe links machined from 1.25" thick 7075 aluminum plate for maximum strength at the highest stress points.
  • FK 5/8" WSSX Uniballs: Premium uniballs used on lower rods and spindle side of the toe link - the same quality found in top-tier race vehicles.
  • 3/4" FK JMX Rod Ends: Trophy truck-grade PTFE-lined rod ends with compressed housing preload - stay tight up to 3x longer than standard injected Teflon rod ends.
  • Solid 1-1/8" Round Upper Rods: Upper radius rods machined from solid 7075-T6 round bar with FK JMX rod ends for full camber adjustability.
  • Single-Point Toe Adjuster: Adjust toe fully while the vehicle is installed and sitting at ride height on its own weight - an exclusive CT Race Worx feature.
  • 303 Stainless Steel Spacers: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel spacers in every joint for long-term durability in harsh conditions.
  • Black Anodized Finish: Rods come standard with a durable black anodized finish.
  • Lifetime Warranty - Made in the USA: All aluminum parts are backed by a lifetime warranty and handbuilt entirely with American materials.

What's Included

  • Middle toe link (1.25" thick plate 7075-T6 aluminum with FK 5/8" WSSX uniball and single-point toe adjuster with 3/4" FK JMX rod end)
  • Upper radius rods (solid 1-1/8" round 7075-T6 aluminum with 3/4" FK JMX rod ends)

Note: Tow plate not included. Optional joint boots available separately at $9 per joint.


Why You'll Love It

CT Race Worx has spent over a decade perfecting radius rod technology alongside some of the most demanding off-road racing programs in the country, and these Tier 1 rods are the culmination of that experience. The 7075-T6 construction means you're getting a rod that deflects and springs back rather than bending or failing, the same material science that keeps aircraft wings intact under extreme loads. The FK JMX joints used throughout are trusted by trophy truck teams worldwide - there simply isn't a better joint on the market, and you'll feel that confidence every time you push the limits. The ability to adjust camber and toe at ride height without pulling the rods is a genuine time-saver for racers and weekend warriors alike. Backed by a lifetime warranty and proudly made in the USA, these rods are a buy-once investment that will outlast cheaper alternatives many times over. If you want the best radius rods available for your X3, this is exactly where that search ends.

FAQ

Why is 7075-T6 aluminum better than 6061 for radius rods?

7075-T6 aluminum has nearly double the tensile strength of 6061 (83,000 psi vs. 45,000 psi) and a significantly higher yield point and hardness rating. This matters most at the critical stress points of a radius rod - around the uniballs and threaded joints - where material volume is limited. 7075 also has a unique flexibility and memory that allows it to deflect up to 10% under direct impact and spring back to its original shape, rather than bending or failing permanently like 6061 can.

What is the FK JMX rod end and why does it matter?

The FK JMX series rod end uses a fabric-based PTFE (Teflon) liner with a compressed inner housing that creates a preload on the ball. This design keeps the joint tight approximately 3 times longer than the standard injected Teflon rod ends found in most aftermarket radius rods. These are the same joints used on trophy trucks - the most demanding off-road race vehicles in the world - making them an exceptional choice for high-stress UTV suspension applications.

Can I adjust camber and toe without removing the rods?

Yes - that's one of the standout features of this kit. The single-point toe adjuster on the middle toe link and the FK JMX rod ends on the upper rods allow full camber and toe adjustment while the vehicle is fully installed and sitting at its own ride height. This eliminates the need to jack the vehicle, remove components, or estimate settings off the ground - a significant advantage for dialing in your setup at the track or trail.

Are joint boots recommended, and where can I get them?

Boots are not included by default but are available separately from CT Race Worx for $9 per joint. Adding boots keeps debris out of the FK JMX joints and allows a small amount of lubricant to be retained inside, which helps with moisture resistance and extends joint life. If you ride in particularly dusty, muddy, or wet conditions, boots are a worthwhile addition.

Is a tow plate included with this kit?

No, the tow plate is not included with the Tier 1 High Clearance Radius Rod kit and must be purchased separately if needed.

What years and models does this kit fit?

This kit is designed to fit the 2017 through 2026 Can-Am Maverick X3 72" platform. Always verify fitment using your specific year, make, model, and submodel before purchasing.
