Can-Am Defender HD8 BFT Suspension Kit

Running bigger tires on your Defender HD8 doesn't have to mean a sky-high lift that compromises how your machine handles. This suspension kit lets you fit 34-inch tires while keeping things stable and balanced. Instead of stacking height, the design uses forward-angled A-arms and a modest 2-inch lift with brackets and spacers to give you the clearance you need without overdoing it.

What You're Getting

The kit comes with a complete front suspension package:

• Upper and lower front A-arms
• Steering stop kit
• 17 limit straps (skip these if you're running Rhino 2.0 axles)
• Spring spacers
• Shock brackets
• Shock bump stop (only required when going to 34-inch tires)

Built to Last

Heavy-duty 1-1/4-inch DOM steel makes up the A-arms, while precision-cut steel brackets and billet aluminum spacers reinforce the whole system. You'll get a lifetime warranty backing everything, so whether you're hammering through rocky terrain or dealing with sustained trail abuse, you're covered if something breaks.

Ball Joint Options

You've got three choices here, and SuperATV can pre-assemble whichever you pick—no extra labor charge, no ball joint press hassle required.

Super Duty 300M: Made from the toughest ball joint steel available, these run 2.25 times stronger than stock. The neck stays thick, the stud adjusts, and you get a grease zerk for maintenance.

Keller Design: Two-piece construction that threads onto your A-arms like a bolt. No snap ring to worry about, and the chromoly stud with tool-steel body handles big tires and big hits. Greaseable and rebuildable too.

Heavy-Duty 4340 VAR: Hardened steel with zinc plating that handles double the load of a stock ball joint. Built for aggressive riding with the same easy grease maintenance and adjustable design.
