Does anyone know the biggest jump a stock LT230S can make without damage to the frame?

As mentioned above the force of the jump depends on the landing. If jumping a mound onto flat land, I'd try and keep it 4-5 foot max. If jumping onto a downhill, or a double jump you could probably push it a little further. The shocks will bottom out before you do any serious damage, so back off when you start to tax the suspension.

Distance is irrelevant.

The jump is about 3 feet high, the gap is about 30', and the landing is a little shorter. If i get up enough speed I can make the jump right?

you should have no problem jumping that as long as you clear the landing and try to land all 4 at the same time or the backs just ahead of the fronts. Just be carefull if you are new to jumping. The quad should have no problem holding up to that if its in good shape!
