Ordered my 32's today. Warrior AT's. Plus forward high clearance A arms with super duty ball joints and since I was feelin' ambitious, i bought the deluxe plug n play turn signal/horn kit.... 

Hoping this is as painless as they make it sound. Because I will be doing this swap in the woods. Luckily I have a 20lb Co2 bottle to set the beads... But I  always carry a full lineup of tools when in the RV. So thinking I got this! Here's Bear as a before picture here in camp. 1586200190381764275944506509675.thumb.jpg.3ee939af6d57d15a58aedf6e738dd765.jpg

Let us know how you like the kit. I was looking at this same Super Atv kit a couple of days ago. Installation looks pretty simple. Good luck! It’s definitely going to make a difference on the stock defender! Can wait to see the after pictures!

The light kit is backordered and will be more like may. But the ground clearance is really what I'm looking for. But considering it's still not legal to drive on the roads. It's for when I'm out of this BLUE STATE and in the RED!! Really though, it doesn't stop me where I'm doing my onroad traveling, it will just be there in case I get a REALISTIC COP... 

But YES!!! I will keep you all posted. I'll most likely start a thread 'turn signal kits' the good, the bad, and the UGLY!!

Love the look but I was wondering if you had to use any wheel spacers on the rear.

Nothing on the rear. With OEM A arms I had to tweak out the bottom of the flare with a wedge of wood and on the downward roll hard on the suspension, it will rub. But I've got the 2" forward arms, just haven't put them on yet. I'm in the woods hunting. Although I did mount the tires and wheels here. Let it be known I have added a Battle Armor 2" lift. (which I  happen to have another... long story) but NO SPACERS

Well, had some extra time and bought yet another grease gun. (Mini sized) and installed the A arms. LOVE THEM!! #superatv Rides smoother on the gravel roads. Seems to handle the corners a bit better without wanting to swap ends.. and the wooden wedgy is gone with PLENTY of clearance. Could have gone 34's if not for the rancher bumper. Oh, and it looks BAD @$$!!!

I just installed 32’s on my maverick sport but tried them on my defender first and they barely cleared while turning. Does the super atv a-arms give extra clearance on the front. I love the look of the 32’s on the defender.

Pretty sure!! They move the wheel forward 2". I'd call them and check. But I'm pretty sure they are what you're looking for. Oh, and they are twice as BEEFY as the OEM arms

Yes I noticed how much stronger these a arms are. We just installed a set on my buddy’s Mule pro fxt. Good looking a arms. I will definitely give them a call.

I didn't go with the rears. Didn't want to lose GC over humpty bumps.  Although i may see if they have a set of stock positioned rear arms. As it is now, or how it was before I spread the WB 2". I would case the tops of them, and the BRP rock sliders? WORTHLESS!! They look cool. BUT THATS IT!! The bottom of my ride is WASTED!!! Going to UPGRADE them!! Widening them in the front to match up with the flares and lowering them below the rig. But most importantly building them out of material that will STAND UP TO THE ABUSE!!! Rather than just look cool.... SHAME ON BRP!!!

I just picked up a 2021 defender limited max. Looking into new wheels and tires. Everything is find suggests the 2” forward a arms need to be installed. However, yours looks like it works out perfect. Dealer cannot confirm the limited has offset arms. Any issues now that you been running for a while? Did you reclutch and belt problems? Thanks

No problems with clutch or power.  None of these non turbo units sets the world on fire with power.  Mine still pulls 66 mph gps with the 32's.  I am sure it accelerates a little slower, but these are the size tires my machine needs. The clutch doesn't slip either.
