SuperATV Can-Am Defender HD8 BFT Suspension Kit

SuperATV BFT Suspension Kit for Can-Am Defender HD8

The SuperATV BFT (Big Friggin' Tire) Suspension Kit is engineered specifically for the Can-Am Defender HD8. It delivers 2 inches of lift and 1.5 inches of additional high-clearance, allowing you to run massive 34-inch tires with minimal lift — keeping your center of gravity low for better stability, reduced axle stress, and less wear on drivetrain components.

Why Choose the SuperATV BFT Suspension Kit?

Most lift kits force you to go high to fit big tires. The BFT kit's 2-inch forward offset A-arms and high-clearance geometry let you run 34" tires while staying closer to the ground — a critical advantage for technical terrain, mud, and rock crawling. The kit is built from 1-1/4" diameter DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) steel tubing for maximum strength-to-weight ratio, and is backed by SuperATV's lifetime warranty.
