SuperATV Can-Am Defender HD8 High-Clearance Lower Rear A-Arms give your Can-Am Defender HD8 1 inch of extra ground clearance. Built from 1.25-inch DOM tubing that is stronger than the stock arms, they make room for up to 27-inch tires, 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.
