Can-Am Defender 2" Bracket Lift Kit (2018-2022) by ZBroz Racing

Gain 2 inches of ground clearance on your 2018-2022 Can-Am Defender with the ZBroz Bracket Lift Kit. Unlike basic spacer lifts that just space out the factory shocks, this bolt-on bracket kit preserves proper suspension geometry while delivering the extra clearance you need for larger tires, rougher terrain, and harder hauling.

Whether you're navigating rocks, ruts, or muddy back roads, the added 2" of lift gives your Defender real-world clearance without compromising the factory ride or stressing CV angles. Bolt it on with hand tools and ride higher the same day.

FAQ

Will this fit my 2023+ Defender?

No — the 2023+ Defender uses a new chassis generation with different mounting geometry. Use ZBroz's dedicated 2023-2026 Defender HD10 bracket lift kit for those model years.

How is a bracket lift different from a spacer lift?

A spacer lift just extends the factory shock mounting point, which steepens CV angles and stresses driveline components. A bracket lift relocates the entire suspension mount, preserving proper geometry and protecting your CV joints.

Will I need new tires after installing?

Not required, but the 2" lift gives you room for up to 32" tires with stock wheels (verify offset). Many owners use the lift to fit a larger tire setup for added clearance and traction.

Will this affect my factory ride quality?

Minimal change. Because the bracket preserves factory suspension geometry, you keep the OEM-tuned ride with the added clearance — unlike spacer lifts which can introduce harshness.

Is installation DIY-friendly?

Yes — plan 2-3 hours with hand tools, a jack, and jack stands. Detailed instructions are included. No welding or fabrication required.
