If you're looking for a solid upgrade to your Can-Am Defender, let me tell you about the Demon Heavy Duty Lift Kit Axles. These aren't just any axles; they’re built for those of us who really put our machines to the test. After years of tinkering and testing, Demon Powersports has crafted these axles to deliver top-notch performance without draining your wallet.

What sets these axles apart? For starters, they’re beefier and stronger than your average setup. We're talking larger CV joints and shafts, all made from 4340 Chromoly Steel, which means they can take a beating and keep on going. Plus, they go through a dual heat treatment process that not only enhances their strength but also extends their lifespan. You can really feel the difference when you’re out on the trails.

One of my favorite features is the unique double plunge design. It allows for some serious articulation—about 40 degrees at the inboard joint. That’s right, these axles can flex and move with the terrain, giving you an extra 1.5 inches of travel. The outboard joint can swing from 45 to 47 degrees, depending on your model. This means better handling and stability when you're navigating those tricky spots.

And let’s talk about the boots. The TPEE (Thermoplastic polyester elastomer) boots on these axles are a game changer. They’re tougher and more resistant to wear and tear than standard OEM boots. Whether it’s heat or punctures, these boots have got you covered. Plus, they’re packed with high-load molybdenum grease for smooth operation and low friction. You’ll notice the difference when you’re cruising through rough terrain.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you get:

• A solid 15%-20% increase in diameter compared to regular axles
• Inner cage made from durable 4340 chromoly steel
• High-strength, dual heat-treated chromoly steel shaft
• Thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) Boot for added durability
• 10%-15% larger CV joint size for improved performance
• Wider articulation angles for better maneuverability
• Dual plunge design to prevent binding
• Packed with high-load molybdenum grease for smooth action
• Compatible with 1.5"-5" bracket lifts and various portal gear lifts
• 1-year limited warranty for peace of mind

These axles fit a range of Can-Am Defender models, including:

• Can-Am Defender HD8 (2016-2023)

Oh, and if you have a 2-inch OUTKAST Forward Arched A-Arms setup, you’re good to go! These axles are designed to fit right in with your existing gear.

So, if you want to keep your ride smooth and reliable, trust in Demon Heavy Duty Axles. They’ll keep you rolling, no matter where the trail takes you.
