It’s time to pack up the camping gear and go for a weekend of off-roading with your buddies. Prepare your Defender by installing SuperATV’s 6" Lift Kit so you can ride through deeper mud and roll over large rocks without getting stuck. It gives you 17” of total ground clearance and room to run 34” tires. And the best part—the components of this lift kit are all made to be superior in strength: chromoly A-arms, chromoly Rhino 2.0 Axles, tie rods, and lift brackets. You’ll be turning heads and hammering through tire-deep mud holes with little effort.
End-to-End Chromoly Parts
We’ve built this entire kit around strength. Our A-arms are 1.25” in diameter—75% thicker than OEM. And the tie rods are made from a solid chromoly bar, while our lift brackets are constructed with 4.5 mm heavy-duty steel. Plus, it comes with four of our premium Rhino 2.0 Axles. We’ve been perfecting our lift kits for years, so we know what it takes to stand out in a crowd and support rough rides.
The Feel of Your Machine Stays the Same
Just because you added clearance and bigger tires to your machine doesn’t mean that you lose the comfortability you had before. We paid attention to the angle of your shocks and brackets so your ride is still smooth like butter, and your turning radius doesn’t suck.
The Complete Package
When you order our Can-Am Defender HD8 6” lift kit, you get everything you need including—Rhino 2.0 Axles, an all-new suspension setup, brake lines, and the required steering stops. We even include self-lubricating UHMW bushings and zinc-plated steel sleeves. You’ll have your Defender pushing the limits in no time.
NOTE: This 6” lift kit disables the front and rear sway bars.
KIT INCLUDES
- Front and rear lift brackets
- Front and rear spring spacers
- Front and rear A-arms
- 4 Rhino 2.0 axles

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
This kit delivers a true 6 inches of suspension lift, bringing total ground clearance to about 17 inches, up from roughly 11 inches stock. That added height lets your Defender clear deep ruts, rocks, and mud that would normally stop a work‑focused machine.
You can run up to 34” tires, a major jump from the factory 27” setup. Bigger tires mean better obstacle clearance, more traction, and a more aggressive stance without sacrificing drivability.
This lift fits a wide range of Defender HD 8, HD 10, Defender MAX, and select Pro models, with year‑specific fitment options. Always confirm your exact model and year using the fitment tab before ordering.
This is a full chromoly lift kit for the Can‑Am Defender. The A‑arms, pivot blocks, and ball‑joint housings are all chromoly steel, giving unmatched durability for heavy loads, deep mud, and aggressive riding.
Yes. Every kit includes four Rhino 2.0 axles, built with end‑to‑end 4340 chromoly steel. They’re twice as strong as stock and designed to handle 40°+ CV angles without binding or overheating.
We engineered the shock angles and brackets to keep the Defender’s comfortable ride intact. The kit also preserves a tight turning radius, so it still feels manageable on trails and job sites despite the added height.
Yes. The suspension geometry increases total width by about 7 inches for better side‑to‑side stability. That wider stance helps control big tires and keep the Defender planted on uneven terrain.

Yes. This 6” lift disables the front and rear sway bars as part of the suspension design. This change is intentional to allow proper suspension travel at the increased height.
