MORE CLEARANCE. MORE STABILITY. MORE CAPABILITY.

Designed specifically for the Can-Am Defender HD11, the Cedar Suspension Mid Travel Kit expands the suspension footprint while adding high-clearance components built for demanding trail, work, and backcountry use.

The front suspension is widened approximately 3.5 inches and the rear approximately 4.5 inches, resulting in an approximately 72-inch hub-to-hub width at both ends of the vehicle. The squared configuration allows matching front and rear wheels without requiring rear wheel spacers.

BUILT FOR SERIOUS OFF-ROAD USE

High-Clearance Front A-Arms

High-clearance front A-arms provide additional room underneath the suspension for navigating rocks, ruts, and uneven terrain.

Premium Steel Construction

Laser-cut specialty steel is used throughout the suspension structure, with machined components manufactured from 4130 chromoly for additional strength in critical areas.

TIG Welded in the USA

Components are hand TIG welded in the USA with internal and external gusseting and additional reinforcement at critical stress points.

Integrated Steering Stops

Integrated steering stops are incorporated into the system to retain the intended steering geometry throughout the suspension upgrade.

Grooved Delrin Bushings

Durable Delrin suspension bushings feature precision grease grooves designed to distribute lubrication for smooth operation and long-term durability.

Greaseable A-Arms

Pre-installed grease fittings on the A-arms simplify routine suspension maintenance.

A COMPLETE MID-TRAVEL SYSTEM

This isn't simply a set of wider control arms. The kit includes the supporting drivetrain and steering components required for the increased suspension width, creating a complete system designed around the Defender HD11.

The suspension utilizes the factory mounting locations for a true bolt-on installation with no cutting required.

KIT INCLUDES

• Front Mid Travel Suspension Components
• Rear Mid Travel Suspension Components
• High-Clearance Front A-Arms
• Grooved Delrin Bushings
• Grease Zerk Fittings
• Integrated Steering Stops
• Required Installation Hardware

COMPLETE THE SYSTEM WITH THE RIGHT SHOCK SETUP

Factory shocks can be used with the mid-travel kit, but upgrading the shocks is recommended to take full advantage of the additional suspension capability. Proper spring rate, damping, and shock setup allow the chassis and suspension geometry to work together for improved control across rough terrain.

BUILT FOR UP TO 35" TIRES

The increased suspension width and clearance allow the Defender HD11 to accommodate up to a 35-inch tire depending on wheel offset, tire dimensions, and vehicle setup. High-offset wheels are recommended.

Some wheel and tire combinations may experience rubbing. Always verify clearance through the full steering and suspension range before operation.
