Safety Warning

MISUSE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH.

  • Suspension systems or components that enhance the on and off-road performance of your vehicle may cause it to handle differently than it did from the factory. Extreme care must be used to prevent loss of control or vehicle rollover during abrupt maneuvers.
  • Always operate your vehicle at reduced speeds to ensure your ability to control your vehicle under all driving conditions. Failure to drive safely may result in serious injury or death to driver and passengers.
  • Driver and passengers must ALWAYS wear your seat belts, avoid quick sharp turns and other sudden maneu-vers. ReadyLIFT Suspension does not recommend the combined use of suspension lifts, body lifts, or other lifting devices.
  • You should never operate your vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Constant maintenance is required to keep your vehicle safe. Thoroughly inspect your vehicle before and after every off-road use.
  • It is the responsibility of the retailer and/or the installer to review all state and local laws, with the end user of this product, related to bumper height laws and the lifting of their vehicle before the purchase and installa-tion of any ReadyLIFT products.
  • It is the responsibility of the driver/s to check their surrounding area for obstructions, people, and animals before moving the vehicle.
  • All raised vehicles have increased blind spots; damage, injury and/or death can occur if these instructions are not followed.

Installation Warning

  • All steps and procedures described in these instructions were performed while the vehicle was properly sup-ported on a two post vehicle lift with safety jacks.
  • Use caution during all disassembly and assembly steps to insure suspension components are not over extend-ed causing damage to any vehicle components and parts included in this kit.
  • Included instructions are guidelines only for recommended procedures and are not meant to be definitive. Installer is responsible to insure a safe and controllable vehicle after performing modifications.
  • ReadyLIFT Suspension recommends the use of an OE Service Manual for model/year of vehicle when disassembly and assembly of factory and related components.
  • Unless otherwise specified, tighten all bolts and fasteners to standard torque specifications listed within the OE Service Manual.
  • Suspension components that use rubber or urethane bushings should be tightened with the vehicle at normal ride height. This will prevent premature wear or failure of the bushing and maintain ride comfort.
  • Larger tire and wheel combinations may increase leverage on suspension, steering, and related components.
  • Due to payload options and initial ride height variances, the amount of lift is a base figure. Final ride height dimensions may vary in accordance with the original vehicle ride height. Always measure the vehicle ride height prior to beginning installation.
  • Due to payload options and initial ride height variances, the amount of lift is a base figure. Final ride height dimensions may vary in accordance with the original vehicle ride height. Always measure the vehicle ride height prior to beginning installation.
  • A lifted vehicle may have different headlight aim performance. ReadyLIFT recommends marking and recording the headlight beam position before kit installation and then adjusting, if necessary, the headlamps to the same height settings after kit installation. Set the vehicle on a level surface 10′ to 15’ from a solid wall or garage door.
  • (This is a general distance with some manufacturers requiring different distances.) Note the top height of the low beam’s bright spot, the top of the most intense part of the beam, for the driver and passenger side. Height may vary from side to side.
  • Repeat this procedure and adjust after lift kit is installed. Ad-just if the aim is off by turning the adjusters gradually (a quarter of a turn) and looking to see where the new alignment falls. It may be easier to block one headlamp while adjusting the other.
  • Consult the owner opera-tion manual for procedures to adjust headlights – many automakers offer headlight aiming specs.
  • Some states have their own specifications when it comes to headlight aim, so it’s best to follow those rules when alighting headlights.
  • This suspension system was developed using a 37” x 12.5”R18 tire with 18” x 8.5” wheel and an offset of +18. If wider tires are used, offset wheels may be necessary and trimming may be required. Factory wheels can be used but are not recommended.
  • The stock spare rim can be run in an emergency – exercise extreme caution under stock spare tire operating conditions. Please note that, if running the spare factory tire, it is done for short distances and a speed not to exceed 45mph, or damage to dif- ferentials may occur.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

  • 37″ x 12.50″ will work at ride height. However, the tires will still contact the front body mount, anti-intrusion beams, and possibly the rear inner fender through wheel travel and steering lock to lock. If running this size tire and using the full suspension travel, these areas must be addressed.
  • Stock wheels and stock tires can be installed. Taller tires on stock wheels may contact the UCA. 4.5″ to 5″ back spacing wheels are recommended for most clearance to the UCA. 5.5″ backspacing on a 35″ tire will be close to the UCA at full steering lock.
  • Although the supplied control arms reuse the factory ball joint, Replacement ball joints can be purchased from a local Ford dealer Part # MB3Z-3050-A.
  • A ball joint press is needed to press out the ball joint in the factory arm and press it into the ReadyLIFT UCA. ATD 8696 ball joint press is recommended. A ball joint press
    can be rented from most auto parts stores.

Does Not Fit:

  • Badlands
  • Sasquatch equipped vehicle
  • Bronco Sport

PRE-INSTALLATION MEASUREMENTS

It is imperative that you record the following measurements and factory components in the tables below. ReadyLIFT tests and records as much data from each application as available at the time of product development. Vehicle manufacturers may change components or add models with different options. Recording and not exceeding the fender-to-hub-center ReadyLIFT calls out will ensure the lift on the vehicle is correct.
These measurements will affect the performance of this lift kit. Failure to ensure proper stock conditions may result in powerlifting, causing premature failure of axles, CV boots, and drivetrain. Overlifting a vehicle will also result in an incorrect wheel alignment. This will wear tires incorrectly. The incorrect alignment will cause poor vehicle handling issues including but not limited to understeer. Overlifting will also cause a shock top-off condition resulting in poor ride quality accompanied by pops and clunks which are symptoms of prematurely wearing components.
Failure to adjust headlamps may cause dangerous driving conditions for you and other drivers on the road. Record the headlamp position before the installation of this lift or leveling kit and adjust to the original factory position after the completion to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Vehicle Handling Warning

  • Increasing the height of your vehicle raises the center of gravity and can affect stability and control. Use caution on turns and when making steering corrections.
  • Vehicles with larger tires and wheels will handle differently than stock vehicles. Take time to familiarize your-self with the handling of your vehicle.

Wheel Alignment/Headlamp Adjustment

  • It is necessary to have a proper and professional wheel alignment performed by a certified alignment techni-cian. Align the vehicle to factory specifications. It is recommended that your vehicle alignment be checked after any off-road driving.
  • In addition to your vehicle alignment, for your safety and others, it is necessary to check and adjust your ve-hicle headlamps for proper aim and alignment. If the vehicle is equipped with active or passive safety/collision monitoring and/or avoidance systems including, but not limited to, camera- or radar-based systems, check and adjust your vehicle’s systems for proper aim and function.
