High Lifter's Recommended Tire and Portal Size for Warranty

Gear Ratio Suggestion

Speedometer Readings

Notes:

• 30% Single Idler is only recommended for 2-seater and 3-seater non-turbo units.
• Dual Idler portals are recommended for all Turbo, Crew, and 4-Seater models.
• Example: A 33" tire with a 30% gear reduction displays 40 MPH; actual speed is 31 MPH.

How does this lift kit affect my Can-Am Defender's handling?

While the kit significantly increases ground clearance, the adjustable camber and custom tie rods help maintain proper handling. However, you may notice changes in steering feel and stability, especially at higher speeds.

Can I install this lift kit myself?

Due to the complexity of the system and the need for proper alignment, we strongly recommend professional installation to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Will this kit void my vehicle's warranty?

Modifications of this scale may affect your warranty. We recommend consulting with your Can-Am dealer to understand the specific implications for your vehicle's warranty.

Is this kit compatible with other aftermarket accessories?

The High Lifter 8" APEXX Big Lift Kit is designed to work with many aftermarket accessories. However, always verify compatibility with specific components, especially when it comes to wheels and tires.

How does the adjustable camber feature work?

The kit includes heat-treated and plated adjustable bushing collars that allow for 3/8" of camber adjustment in or out. This helps compensate for changes in geometry due to the lift and larger tires, reducing premature wear on components.
