Ground clearance, never enough

Recommended Posts

Got my 2021 defender max xt hd8 this spring and found it great for our land and trails but lacking at our atv ranch Cloud 9 and local private trail ranches. Did the legwork and found what would be  the least stress on sxs without major changes. Bought S3 HD springs and SuperATV 2” forward offset a arms, upgraded from maxxis bighorn 27” stock to 30” carnivores. Fun basic mod, gained 4” clearance and stability. Anyone know how much more I could gain cranking up the spring load? A4E1781F-E89B-4E2D-A587-B7FA06A40601.thumb.jpeg.7cca7a4ca7d04f514397e5e34d9f2e2b.jpeg

I got almost an inch of lift with the springs cranked up to max. Mine seemed to sit higher in the front and didn’t like the look. I run middle front and max back. Looks level and gives a little more height all around. Still ride and handles well.

I had the same question about this topic. We also have a 21 defender hd8 that needs some ground clearance. Thinking I will do the same aarm and spring set up. Is there a set of 30” tires that will fit the stock rim? 
 

also did you have to use any spacers with this set up?
