3" Preload Spacers Suspension Lift Kit Fit 18-23 Can-Am Defender Lone Star 97035

3" Preload Spacers Suspension Lift Kit for Can-Am Defender

Level the front stance of your 2018-2023 Can-Am Defender with this 3-inch preload spacer kit that adds ground clearance while preserving factory shock preload settings, referencing Lone Star part number 97035.

Overview

This preload spacer kit lifts the front suspension of a Can-Am Defender to eliminate the factory rake and improve tire clearance for larger treads. The spacers install above the coil spring atop the shock assembly, stiffening the initial spring rate just enough to support added weight from a winch or plow. Riders tackling rough trails, muddy fields, and rocky terrain will gain extra skid plate clearance without changing shock length.

Built For Performance

• 6061-T6 billet aluminum construction resists corrosion and deformation under repeated impact
• Precisely machined bore centers the shock shaft to prevent binding
• Hard anodized finish adds surface hardness and reduces galling
• Incremental lift maintains near-stock CV axle angles to avoid premature boot wear
• Stackable design allows fine-tuning of ride height when combined with secondary spacers
• No drilling or cutting required; uses existing top-out hardware

Fits These Machines

• for Can-Am Defender 2018-2023

On-The-Job Use

• Trail riding on uneven forest terrain
• Rock crawling and technical slow-speed obstacle work
• Mud and deep-rut driving with larger tires
• Farm chore hauling and fence checking
• Hunting lease access with saddle bags and gear

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will this spacer kit make the ride noticeably stiffer? A: The preload increase is modest and primarily offsets sag from added accessories; most operators find the ride remains compliant while reducing nose dive under braking.

Q: Can I install this without removing the shock assembly? A: The shock must be removed from the vehicle and partially compressed to slide the spacer over the shaft, so basic mechanical skills and spring compression caution are required.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
