Ok guys, I am looking to upgrade shocks on my 2015 xmr 800, and am interested in the fox shocks listed in the can am accessory catalog. I have seen various threads about these shocks, and how many have upgraded to them after the factory ones failed. Xmargh even had a recent thread about swapping factory outlander springs to these after the springs that come on them, (xxc renegade springs if memory serves) began to fatigue over time. This was my intent, buy the fox replacements from can am and swap my springs over. When looking in the 2017 catalog, the fitment description specifically excludes the 800 xmr. Ironically, the same day I was looking at shocks, I was also looking at highlifter signature series bracket lifts. They too specifically exclude the 2015 800 xmr. I called Highlifter, and the answer I got was that they’re having trouble keeping up with all the variations in can am suspension components, and the issue with that specific lift had to do with shock eyelet diameter variations between outlander models. I also called a reputable can am dealer and asked why the 2017 catalog exempts the xmr 800 from their fitment list, when the 2015 catalog did not (the 2015 catalog is still available online). The dealer I called has yet to find an answer. I know I am cramming a lot of info into one thread, but I have two questions. Anyone have any idea why can am would now not recommend the fox replacements for the xmr 800? Is anyone out there running the Highlifter 2 inch signature series bracket lift, and if so, were there any figment issues?
