When your Can-Am Defender needs serious off-road suspension, look no further than Rough Country's Vertex Coilover Shocks—built for top-tier performance in the toughest Aussie conditions. With 16-stage adjustable damping, you can fine-tune your ride to suit everything from rocky tracks to open paddocks, giving you the perfect balance of support, stability, and comfort.

The adjustable coilover design delivers up to 2 inches of lift, allowing you to dial in the right clearance for your terrain or tyre setup. A 3-stage seal system keeps dust, mud, and grit out, while the internal rubber bump stop helps soak up big hits for a smoother ride. Whether you're working on the farm or exploring the bush, these coilovers are made to perform.

Each Vertex Shock features a durable monotube design, nitrogen-charged for precise damping and improved response. With a 16 mm chrome-hardened piston rod, 52 mm honed steel body, and zinc-plated finish with a double clear coat, these shocks are built to resist corrosion and last in Australia's unpredictable environments. A spanner wrench is included for easy ride height adjustments.

Installation is straightforward and can be completed in just 2–3 hours with basic tools. Backed by Rough Country's 3-year replacement warranty for manufacturing defects, you can trust Vertex Coilovers to deliver long-lasting performance and peace of mind—wherever your Defender takes you.

NOTE: Gas Shocks cannot be sent by Air Freight.
