SuperATV - Can-Am Defender / Defender MAX HD8 BFT Suspension Kit

Get the Ability to Run Larger Tires on Your Defender HD8

With SuperATV's BFT Suspension Kit on the Can-Am Defender HD8, you can step up to 34" tires while maintaining a low, controlled stance. The design focuses on keeping stability high and stress on components low rather than relying on big lift height. Clearance is gained through forward-shifted 2" A-arms and a small 2" lift using brackets and spacers.

Backed by a Lifetime Warranty

The BFT Suspension Kit for the Can-Am Defender HD8 combines heavy-duty construction with the confidence of a lifetime warranty. Oversized 1-1/4" DOM steel A-arms deliver exceptional toughness, while precision-cut steel brackets and billet aluminum spring spacers add durability throughout the system. From rough trails to challenging obstacles, this suspension is built to take a beating. If it ever fails due to hard riding, we've got you covered.

Let SuperATV Do the Work - Preassembly Available!

Upgrading your Defender HD8 shouldn't require extra tools or extra work. Order SuperATV ball joints with your suspension kit, and we'll install them at no additional labor cost. There's no need to deal with a ball joint press or the frustration of swapping them yourself. We take care of the installation so you can spend less time wrenching and more time exploring the trail.

Choose the Right Ball Joint

Each Super Duty and Heavy-Duty ball joint comes with an easily accessible grease zerk and an adjustable steel on steel design. You can easily keep our ball joints maintained and flexible. At SuperATV, we understand the importance of strength and longevity.

Super Duty 300M Ball Joints

300M grade steel is the strongest ball joint material on the market. We took that material and combined it with our superior design engineering to make the strongest stud possible. That means minimal narrowing at the neck and an adjustable stud. At 2.25x stronger than stock, you can't buy a stronger ball joint than SuperATV's super duty 300M ball joint.

Keller Ball Joints

Keller Ball Joints use a two-piece design that eliminates the need for a snap ring. They thread onto your A-arms like a nut and bolt, which makes these ball joints virtually impossible to pull out. The high-quality chromoly steel stud combined with an advanced tool-steel body makes them perfect for bigger machines, bigger tires, and bigger rides. And since they're greaseable and rebuildable, you can keep them running perfectly.

Heavy-Duty Ball Joints

Our heavy-duty ball joints are designed with ultimate performance and convenience in mind. Whether you're doing flips or chasing hills, our proprietary blend of hardened 4340 VAR steel and zinc plating means this ball joint can take it. Our tests show that our ball joint can take double the pressure of an OEM ball joint!
