SuperATV Can-Am Defender HD8 2" Rear Offset A-Arms give your Can-Am Defender HD8 a 2-inch rear offset and 1.5 inches of extra ground clearance. Built from 1.25-inch x .138-inch wall DOM tubing that is stronger than the stock arms, they make room for up to 32-inch tires when paired with 2-inch forward offset front A-arms, and a UV-resistant powder coat finish keeps them looking good after hard rides on trails, farm roads and washouts.
They bolt to your Can-Am Defender HD8 with the published install instructions, so you spend more time riding and less time in the garage. The adjustable pivot blocks let you dial in camber after adding a lift or bigger tires.
This SuperATV High-Clearance set is built specifically for the Can-Am Defender HD8 models listed below, so the geometry matches your machine.

FAQ
Which machines does this fit?
The Can-Am Defender HD8 models and years listed in the fitment section above (2016-2021). Confirm your exact model before ordering.
What tire size will these A-arms clear?
Per SuperATV, tire size depends on your setup: up to 32-inch with 2-inch forward offset front A-arms.
What does the offset do?
The 2-inch rear offset moves the wheel rearward, which lengthens the wheelbase for stability and opens up room for larger tires.
Are bushings included?
No. Bushings are not included, so plan to reuse your OEM bushings or order new ones.
Can I adjust camber?
Yes. The adjustable pivot blocks let you set camber, and SuperATV presets them to stock specs.
What warranty do they carry?
SuperATV backs the A-arms with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects to the original purchaser. Ball joints and tie rod ends are wear items and are not covered by the lifetime warranty.
