Tesla Model Y Stage 3: Ultra High Clearance Off-Road Suspension Package

Tesla Model Y Ultra High Clearance Off-Road Suspension Package is Stage 3 of our Trailhead Pro system and the highest capability configuration we offer for everyday driven Model Y builds. It combines everything from Stage 2 with our +35 mm Leveling Lift Kit to deliver true ultra high clearance, longer suspension travel, and the geometry tools needed to keep the car precise and predictable on the street.

At the core of this package are the Dirt and Snow Coilovers, a true Model Y specific coilover system that lifts the car the right way. Rather than simply spacing the suspension down, these coilovers add usable stroke and give you up to 2 inches of ride height adjustment with a wide damping range. You can tune the car for smooth commuting, rough city streets, or washboard fire roads while maintaining the crisp steering and quiet comfort that makes the Model Y such a pleasant daily driver.

Stage 3 then adds our Leveling Lift Kit, which raises the chassis approximately 35 mm (about 1.5 inches) and reduces the factory rake for a more level, confident stance. This kit uses precision spacers at factory mounting points for the front tophat, rear spring perch, and rear shock mount. There is no cutting and no permanent modification, and the design follows Tesla’s OEM load paths for long term durability. The result is a meaningful bump in clearance for steep driveways, tall speed bumps, snow ruts, construction lips, graded dirt roads, and mild trails.

Real life examples are where this package shines. That driveway you used to attack at a diagonal now becomes a straight pull in. School zone speed bumps with a full cabin and cargo pass under with fewer scrapes. Snowy side streets, ferry ramps, and garage entrances with aggressive breakover angles feel more manageable. Add in a properly chosen off-road wheel and tire package and the Model Y starts to go places most crossovers would hesitate.

Any time you combine increased suspension travel, additional lift, and larger tires, suspension geometry becomes critical. Stage 3 is built with that in mind. Front Upper Control Arms provide the camber and caster adjustability required to bring alignment back into an optimal window at higher ride heights. This helps maintain a stable contact patch for braking and cornering while protecting tire life.

Out back, our Billet Adjustable Rear Camber Arms replace the fixed factory arms with robust 6061 T6 components that allow precise camber correction on lifted setups. Each arm is preset to factory length to give installers a reliable baseline before dialing in final specs. High Articulation Adjustable Rear Sway Bar and Lifted Spec Rear End Links then tie the system together. The bar supports more droop than a conventional stiff bar so the suspension can stay extended and keep tires in contact on rutted trails, while its three position adjustability lets you choose softer or firmer behavior based on load and terrain. The adjustable links correct bar geometry at the new ride height and allow a true zero preload setup for consistent left and right reactions.

Because Stage 3 pushes capability further than a simple spacer or entry level lift, we are very explicit about the need for proper setup. This package should be installed and aligned by a shop experienced with Tesla suspension or performance alignment work. A professional four wheel alignment is mandatory after installation and should be tailored to your chosen wheel and tire size, target ride height, and use case. Expect more time spent on fine tuning camber, toe, and sway bar settings than with a basic lift kit. That effort is what unlocks the stability, tire life, and confidence this package is designed to deliver.

Compatibility is broad by design. Stage 3 is engineered for 2020 to 2025 Model Y and 2026+ Model Y (Juniper), including Performance, Dual Motor, and Rear Wheel Drive variants. It works with stock wheels and tires, and pairs especially well with UP forged wheel and off-road tire packages that add sidewall, footprint, and durability while the suspension keeps the chassis composed.

If you want your Model Y to clear more obstacles, carry roof tents and gear with confidence, and explore deeper into snow and dirt without sacrificing the refinement you rely on every day, the Tesla Model Y Ultra High Clearance Off-Road Suspension Package is the top of the ladder. It is a complete, geometry aware system that trades guesswork for engineering so you can focus on the road, trail, or campsite ahead.
