2.5" Lift Kit Installation- Can Am Commander 

That a boy ! Just what you needed. Glad you got the lift for the Commander.

About to order this lift, now I know what to expect THANKS!

Great job! I went with 29's just for that reason....no trimming. After if was all said and done I have 15" clearance in front and 14" in back, so I adjusted the shocks accordingly. Its ridiculous how much difference it is. Best money i ever spent on my '14 Commander XP.

The new wheels and tires look sick! By far my favourite wheels. Also like the TPB quote 😂, do the spacers for sure! Make it look even better! And I’m guessing u bought the cryptids brand new because when u do that you get true sizes but the ones that come on the XMRs stock measure 1-2” short which is weird.

I have a stock 2013 Can-am commander 800r yellow just put 30 inch tires on my stock commander it did have 27 inch tires they fit good enough space between back tire and frame looks bad ass love it! My clearance now is 15 inches off the ground pretty good for stock!

Been looking at this kit or the 2" kit, thanks for the great videos, now get one side by side with your dad's, and then go on a trail ride and let us know if it binds. 😀 Looks good, glad the one guy I can find that has decent commander videos has basically the same as me. Except mines all stock, 1000r

Yeah, I wanna let you know. I got a 2013 commander limited and I did the same thing you did probably five years ago, but I actually spent a little more money in and bought king shocks and a travel kit but the same brackets they had to jack the rig up, I love the rig. It’s great for camping and fishing and hunting. I had to take the stock shocks off because the air pump system. The pump kept running back-and-forth and getting hot and shutting down and it really wasn’t a good system because when you raise the rig with the air all the way full height, it still rides stiff when you drop the air out to the bottom it’s still stiff, so why? I went with King shock.

Thanks for the video! Looking forward to a follow up review of this lift kit. Thinking about ordering the same one for my Commander.

I just installed this same lift in a 2017 commander 1000xt, not sure if the newer ones are different but there was no cutting of the bracket required. Just had to pop the vent line fitting out from the factory location and there was a spot to pop it in on the new bracket. PS: love the look of the new wheels and tires 👍

The stock cryptids on my 22 outlander xmr measure small. If you order them from a tire shop they measure an inch bigger. No idea as to why. Maybe a brp spec or screw up? Many atv tires don’t measure as listed. I have a 2017 commander and ordered the same lift today. Putting a set of 28 inch big horns on it since I already have them . Been using them for trail rides on the xmr.

Hey Pal, nice work, it looks like we ran into the same issue dropping the nut when doing the front shock. One thing I noticed but not sure if you added it off air is that the front mounts also use the original shock bolts in the original holes. This gives you the most support.

Doing my Max XT today.. 😁

how is the power and top end since yo went to the 30" tires?

Did the ride quality get worse after installing the lift kit. I think mine got much worse

installing mine now......

What size bolt is the top shock for stock shocks

🏆🏆🏆👍🙏🇨🇱 Thank you for sharing.

Could you tell me where you purchased your kit cause I’d like a 2.5 but Royal Distributing only has a 1.5 kit. Any info would be appreciated thanks.

Hey Bud, I am installing the same kit on the same bike. Did you have trouble getting the shocks to fit? For me its really bad at the rear. The control arm will not travel down enough for me to get the shock in the bracket. Almost like the shock is too tall. Also, in this position, my brake line is stretched to the max. and I still need another inch to et the shock to fit. Am I missing something?

It took me like 2 hours to get my front brackets in and the shock tower assembly won't even fit in the aftermarket bracket unless I grid it down and then it won't even line up with the hole unless I use a spring compressor

Seeing as you've had this lift on now for about 3 months, have you had any axle issues with this lift yet? My fear of axle problems is what's been the holdup on me getting this lift for mine.

Have you had an issue with the clutch with the bigger tires?

Where did you get your doors at

You could just reroute the hose and it be a lot easier
