The Eibach PRO-UTV Stage 3 kit (MPN E85-212-004-03-22) is a set of eight springs for Can-Am Maverick X3 X RS Turbo R side-by-sides fitted with OE Fox shocks. It replaces the factory coils while retaining all of the factory hardware and shock bodies. The manufacturer labels this kit as the extra-load option for OE Fox shocks, and the kit includes springs, sliders and stop rings. Searches for Maverick X3 Stage 3 springs, Eibach Pro-UTV Fox shock upgrade, and dual-rate UTV spring kit usually land on this part.
Stage 3 sits above Stage 2 in load capacity. It suits a machine carrying passengers, tools, and perhaps a spare tire, and it gives extra spring rate when you push the limits. Owners on user forums report that after adding preload, the rear bucking went away and the car smoothed out over the whoops. The manufacturer also states that no revalve is required, so you keep your factory damping and avoid a separate shock rebuild.
Confirm fitment before you buy, because the year and model breakdown for this MPN differs across sources and I could not confirm it on the manufacturer's page. Install is manageable for a home mechanic with the right tools, and owners on user forums note that the job takes a few hours with jack stands, a safe spring compressor, and standard tools. Set preload and crossover positions using the written setup sheet, and avoid adding too much preload to prevent coil bind.
The product name points to 2017-2018 models, but compatibility listings for this MPN disagree on model years, and I could not verify the full application list on the manufacturer's page. Check your model year and VIN with Eibach before ordering.
The manufacturer states that no revalve is required, so the kit is designed to work with the factory shock valving.
Yes. The kit is designed for OE Fox shocks and replaces only the springs, so the existing shock bodies and hardware remain in use.
Expect a moderate DIY job. The shocks can come off without disassembling the charged shock body, so the work is mostly spring swaps. Plan on a jack, jack stands, a safe spring compressor, and standard hand tools. Owners on user forums report a few hours for the full swap. Set spring preload and crossover positions using the written measurements in the Eibach setup instructions, since owners have found the setup photos confusing. Do not add excessive preload, because the shock maker's documentation warns that too much preload can cause coil bind and spring failure.
