I purchased this kit and according to your mechanic in this video there is a difference between the front and rear billits. There is no difference at all between front and rear spacers so did I get the wrong kit? Please answer this

I have a 2020 can am defender hd 8 comes with stock 27 inch tires can I run. 30 inch tire on it with changing my clutch and belt I also have 3 inch on it so not worried about clearing just don’t wanna mess up clutch or belt thanks

Where do u take a spring to get it compressed ?

[@jameshilt6826]

So I purchased this kit and there is no difference in size between the front and rear spacers. Why?

[@jaredslaughter8960]

I ordered this kit but for a maverick sport , avoid the kit like the plague.

[@madman11331122]

I'm no expert but didn't you just make the suspension SUPER tight by compressing the springs another 3"? That's not a lift, that's just making the suspension super tight so it doesn't have any flex.

Compressing the springs did not add 3" of lift. How did you add any lift to the vehicle? ( I used to be a GM trained mechanic, aka Mr. Goodwrench, now retired)

Can someone explain the benefits of this method of lifting vs. a bracket lift kit?

[@DudeManBroShow]

Especially when they offer this method for the can am and just a bracket lift for the polaris

[@chipsterb4946]

@@DudeManBroShow since my first comment I’ve found a 2” lift for a Can-Am defender that uses brackets in back but additional spring compression like this in front. My guess is that brackets are going to change the suspension geometry no matter what while coil spring spacers extend the shock more along its intended line of travel. Or it could be that too much spring preload in the back makes it feel like you have no suspension at all. 😬 I do wish these guys would answer reasonable questions …

@@chipsterb4946 I can't imagine this doesn't ride stiff as hell after this...

[@LAMERAMATA84]

[@chrisbeekley1887]

That's not a lift kit. Just made the suspension more stiff

[@ultramagaviking1966]

preloaded spring i bet that rids going to be so stiff

[@SuperATVMedia]

Correct, a spring spacer lift will stiffen the ride a bit.
