Can-Am Defender High Lifter Lift Kit Step-by-step guide

[@MexicanNoodle]

Just want to say how hard these intrustions were to write on these defenders since there were 3 or 4 different variations. Hope what I wrote made your install easy peasy. Kinda cool to see even though most people don't read them 😂 anything written from 2020-22 you can blame me lol

[@ronalcorn7039]

With the basic install you done, does this decrease the width slightly, from outer tire to outer tire? In other words, more roll over is possible if so, correct?

[@philip2774]

Is that top shock bolt supposed to be replaced every time?

[@Maxsmotoshop]

Does not have to be, but can be if one is supplied

[@scottlaylow9936]

Awesome, what size/brand wheel and tires is that?

[@Maxsmotoshop]

Most people like to put 30s on there but it creates problems rubs I recommend a size or two smaller

[@fredrikandersson2099]

can I install 32 "tires with only 3" lifting kit? or you have to rebuild more

[@Maxsmotoshop]

I only recommend going up one tire size 2 at most and even then you’re going to have problems

[@fredrikandersson2099]

@@Maxsmotoshop okay, then 30" is max to 3" lift kit?

[@Maxsmotoshop]

@@fredrikandersson2099 yes but it is not recommended you will have problems I’ve had multiple customers come back realize their mistake and switch to one size or stock tires again

[@fredrikandersson2099]

@@Maxsmotoshop okay, thanks for the info! do you have any tips on how to build to be able to drive at least 30 " without any problems?

[@Maxsmotoshop]

@@fredrikandersson2099 30s will barely fit and depending on the tire there might be rubbing it will also be hard on your wheel bearings ball joints and tire rods I’ve had people brake steering boxes belts and your machine will feel under powered

[@cryptosully2357]

if you put that spacer on the shock. Want that change how the shock rides and the the valving. what are the torque specs on the bolts?

[@Maxsmotoshop]

Yes the spacers will definitely stiffen up the shocks👍
