Description

Want to fit 34-inch tires on your Can-Am Defender HD8 without going overboard with a massive lift? The Atlas Pro BFT Suspension Kit gives you just enough height and clearance to make it happen. You get a 2-inch boost from shock brackets and spring spacers, plus beefier A-arms that let your machine sit right without feeling squirrelly or unstable. It's the sweet spot between tire size and how your Defender actually drives.

Heavy-Duty A-Arms Built for Real Work

These aren't stock pieces. The Atlas Pro A-arms use 1.5-inch DOM tubing—noticeably thicker and stronger than what rolls off the line. SuperATV reinforced the stress points with CNC-cut steel brackets and added billet aluminum spring spacers to keep everything rock solid. A UV-resistant powder coat finish handles sun exposure without fading or peeling. Bottom line: they'll take a beating on rocky trails, handle bigger rubber, and give you that extra 1.5 inches of ground clearance. They're covered by a lifetime warranty, too.

Ball Joint Options

You've got choices depending on how hard you push. Keller Ball Joints use a two-piece design with no snap ring—they thread on like a bolt and won't pull loose. Greaseable and rebuildable, they're solid for bigger machines and bigger tires. Super Duty 300M goes up a notch with the strongest ball joint steel available—2.25 times stronger than stock with a beefier stud neck. Heavy-Duty mixes 4340 VAR steel and zinc plating to handle serious punishment and double the load of OEM joints. Standard Duty gives you solid chromoly with zinc plating at a fair price—matches or beats stock strength without the dealership cost.

Order It Pre-Assembled (Optional)

Add ball joints to your order and we'll press them into the A-arms and send everything ready to bolt on. No ball joint press. No fighting old parts. Just unbox and install.
