2017 Can-Am Defender HD8 ATV-UTV Axles

The lift kits we carry fit with specific axles; the #K71-725-02 is a tandem axle application and will give a 3-1/8" lift and is compatible with side-mounted #12 Torflex axles with 5,500-7,000-lb capacities. If that is what your axle is, this kit…

Hey Mark. The Torflex Lift Kit #DX56CR is specifically for Dexter #11 Torflex axles and would not be compatible with your Lippert Axle. I'm pretty sure at this point Lippert dropped all of their lift kits for torsion axles but if you can send me…

I went out to our warehouse to get the following dimensions for the Dexter Torflex #11 Axle Side-Mount Frame Installation Hardware Kit #DX57FR as we do not have a dimensional drawing from Dexter. The overall length is 11-7/16", height of side…

I have an option for you, but there is not a Lippert lift kit specifically for tandem axles. Instead you would just use two of the axle riser kits (1 for each axle): - Axle Riser Kit - Single Square Torsion Axle #LC382741 (works with Lippert 3,500…

You'd have to measure the height of the brackets that your current axles are attached. The Torflex Lift Kit #K71-725-02 can't attach to brackets that are taller than 3 inches.

I sent your axle info to Dexter and they were able to determine that you have a set of 7k Dexter Torflex axles so the correct lift you need is the part #K71-725-02 which will give you a lift of 3-1/8 inches.

Your leaf springs are already over the axles, so you have a couple of options. You can go with a lift kit or you can replace your axle hangers. The tandem axle lift kit that will work with your trailer is the Lippert Components Tandem Axle Lift Kit,…

Yes, the Torflex Lift Kit #K71-724-02 is compatible with your #11 Torflex axle. The note about the 3" high profile bracket is corresponding to the brackets on the axle and not the Trailer Hanger #DX57FR. Your brackets appear to be 3-3/4"…

The Dexter Torflex Lift Kits like the Tandem Axle #K71-725-02 that you referenced are only confirmed to work with Dexter Torflex axles. It's possible that the spacers will fit with your AL-KO axles but this has not been tested. The spacers for…

I attached a link to this page that has the install instructions for the Axle Riser Kit #LC382741 that you referenced.
