Built for riders who push their machines into deep mud, ruts, and rocky terrain, the High Lifter Front Forward Upper and Lower Control Arms are a serious upgrade for 2018–2021 Can-Am Defender models. Designed specifically for XMR and Defender platforms, these aftermarket control arms deliver the durability and clearance stock components simply can’t match.
Constructed from oversized 1¼-inch DOM steel tubing, these arms are approximately 25% larger than factory units and feature up to 2.5 times the wall thickness. That added material translates directly into strength—helping protect axles, CVs, and suspension components when riding in harsh conditions. Strategic bends in the design improve ground clearance while shielding critical drivetrain parts from trail obstacles.
Maintenance is straightforward thanks to integrated grease fittings on most models, allowing smoother operation and longer service life. The kit supports tire sizes up to 33 inches, making it ideal for riders looking to run larger rubber for improved traction and clearance. When used with factory wheels, 1-inch wheel spacers are required to ensure proper fitment and suspension geometry.
Finished in High Lifter’s signature yellow and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, these control arms are built for confidence and longevity. If you’re upgrading your Can-Am Defender for aggressive off-road use and want suspension components engineered for real-world abuse, these High Lifter control arms deliver strength, protection, and performance where it matters most.
