About the Aluminum Control Arms | High Clearance w/ 2" Forward Offset | Can-Am…

Unlock the full potential of your UTV with Rough Country's Forged Aluminum Forward Offset Control Arms for the Can-Am Defender. Stock vehicles are often limited in tire size due to front tire-to-body contact. Our Forward Offset Control Arms eliminate those restrictions, allowing for up to a 30" tire with no lift required!

Run Bigger Tires: Experience the freedom of running 30" tires at stock height without worrying about clearance issues. Our 2" forward offset design moves the front wheels forward, creating the extra space needed for larger tires and improving approach angles for better off-road capability.

Enhanced Ground Clearance: Designed to handle rugged terrain, these control arms provide an additional 1.5" of ground clearance, keeping obstacles at bay and giving you a smoother ride on rough trails.

Premium Forged Aluminum Construction: Crafted from 6061 forged aluminum, these arms are stronger and more durable than standard tubular arms while remaining lightweight for improved performance.

Complete Performance Package: This all-in-one upgrade includes pre-installed greaseable heavy-duty ball joints for long-lasting durability and greaseable A-arm bushings and sleeves to ensure smooth operation in any environment.

Hassle-Free Installation: Designed for an easy bolt-on setup, these control arms require no additional tie-rods, steering stops, or adjustable blocks. Installation is straightforward, so you can spend less time in the garage and more time on the trails.

With Rough Country's Forged Aluminum Forward Offset Control Arms, you'll get better clearance, superior durability, and enhanced stability - all in one rugged package. Upgrade your Can-Am Defender today and take your off-road adventures to the next level!
