How does this lift kit affect my Defender's handling and stability?
While the kit significantly increases ground clearance, the adjustable camber and heavy-duty components help maintain stability. However, you may notice changes in handling, especially at higher speeds.
Can I install this lift kit myself?
Due to the complexity of the installation and the need for proper alignment, we strongly recommend professional installation to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Will this kit void my Can-Am warranty?
Modifications can affect your warranty. We recommend consulting with your Can-Am dealer to understand any potential warranty implications before installation.
Is the Manta Green finish durable against scratches and weathering?
The Manta Green finish is designed to be durable, but like any painted surface, it can be susceptible to scratches and weathering over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve its appearance.
Can I use this kit with my existing wheels and tires?
This kit is designed to accommodate larger tires, up to 37" (or 44" with High Lifter Portals). Your existing wheels may be compatible, but you'll likely need larger tires to take full advantage of the increased clearance.
