Why We Make It
SuperATV’s 6” Lift kit gives your Can-Am Defender 17” of clearance, room for 34” tires, and more stability. With our chromoly steel A-arms, we’ve taken the traditional and made it EXCEPTIONAL. The Defender wants to work hard and play harder — with our 6” Lift Kit, there’s no mud hole you can’t conquer.
Chromoly A-Arms Raise the Bar
The A-arms on this lift kit are made of chromoly steel from end to end. The pivot blocks that bolt to the frame are chromoly, the 1.25” diameter tubing is chromoly, and the ball joint housings are chromoly. It’s the only chromoly lift kit you can get for a Can-Am Defender. That’s because we wanted to make a true-to-size 6” lift that could tackle any mud hole without buckling. And with 17” of clearance with room enough for 34” tires and 4 Rhino 2.0 axles included, you’ll be riding harder than you ever have before.
We Keep the Feel of Your Machine Intact
We hate losing that oh-so-cushy feel of stock suspension when we move to a big lift kit as much as the next person. Luckily, we know how to angle our shocks and brackets perfectly to keep the suspension doing what it’s meant to and keep you comfortable.
We also hate it when a lift kit requires a football field to turn around, so we designed ours to keep your turning radius intact. This lift kit isn’t just big and it’s not just bulletproof—it’s luxury. Enjoy your smooth ride 6” higher.
Comes with Rhino 2.0 Axles
Rhino 2.0 takes your UTV and your 6” lift to the next level. With hardened 4340 chromoly from end-to-end and maximized CV components, Rhino 2.0 is twice as strong as stock and can handle 40°+ suspension angles without overheating. Not only that, but they’ve been precision made so they don’t require any break in and come with an 18-month warranty. So take the harder route and blaze a new trail—with Rhino 2.0, you’re indestructible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much ground clearance does the Can‑Am Defender 6” lift actually provide?
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.
What size tires can I run with this SuperATV lift kit?
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.
Will this lift kit fit my specific Can‑Am Defender model?
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.
What makes SuperATV’s Defender lift stronger than other big lifts?
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.
Does the kit include upgraded axles?
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.
How does the lift affect ride comfort and steering?
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.
Does this lift increase stability?
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.
Is installation difficult and what’s included?
Installation is involved but straightforward with detailed instructions. The kit includes front and rear A‑arms, lift brackets, Rhino 2.0 axles, heavy‑duty tie rods, extended brake lines, hardware, and preadjusted pivot blocks for proper camber out of the box.
Does this lift affect sway bars or other stock components?
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.
Why choose SuperATV’s 6” Defender lift instead of a smaller lift or portals?
This kit gives you major tire clearance, extreme strength, and a smooth, controlled ride while keeping factory gearing. It’s ideal for riders who want to transform the Defender into a serious mud and trail machine.
