INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING SUPERLIFT FOR ALL YOUR
SUSPENSION NEEDS!!
INTRODUCTION BEFORE INSTALLATION
Installation requires a professional mechanic. In addition to these
instructions, professional knowledge of disassembly / reassembly procedures
and post installation checks must be known. PRIOR to beginning, inspect the
vehicles steering, driveline, and brake systems, paying close attention to the
suspension link arms and bushings, sway bars and bushings, tie rod ends,
pitman arm, idler arm, ball joints and wheel bearings. Also check the steering
sector-to-frame and all suspension-to-frame attaching points for stress
cracks. The overall vehicle must be in excellent working condition; repair or
replace all worn parts.
Read instructions several times before starting. Read each step completely as
you go.
Be sure you have all needed parts and know where they install.
NOTES:
- Do NOT install this suspension system in conjunction with any other type of aftermarket or fabricated components to gain additional suspension height.
- Do not fabricate any components to gain additional suspension height.
- Prior to attaching components, be sure all mating surfaces are free of grit, grime, grease, undercoating, etc.
- Front end alignment is necessary.
- Always wear safety glasses when using power tools.
- A factory service manual should be on hand for reference.
- 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 to original vehicle stance.
BEFORE YOU DRIVE
Check all fasteners for proper torque. Check to ensure for adequate clearance
between all rotating, mobile, fixed, and heated members. Verify clearance
between exhaust and brake lines, fuel lines, fuel tank, floor boards and
wiring harness. Check steering components for clearance. Test and inspect
brake system. Perform steering sweep to ensure front brake hoses have adequate
slack and do not contact any rotating, mobile or heated members. Inspect rear
brake hoses at full extension for adequate slack. Failure to perform hose
check/replacement may result in component failure. Perform head light check
and adjustment.
WARNING
It is ultimately the buyer’s responsibility to have all bolts / nuts checked
for tightness after the first 100 miles and then every 1000 miles. The
steering, suspension and driveline systems, plus wheel alignment should be
inspected by a qualified professional mechanic at least every 3000 miles.
TIRES & WHEELS
Larger rim and tire combinations may increase leverage on suspension,
steering, and related components. When selecting combinations larger than
factory, consider the additional stress you could be inducing on the factory
and related components.
ALL tire & wheel combinations should be test fit prior to installation. Some minor trimming maybe required. Some minor trimming will be required with certain wheel/tire combinations. Trimming will normally include the bottom edge of the inner fender shrouds and/or lower corner of front bumper valance.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
The provided tire/wheel recommendations are approximate. Actual dimensions of
a given tire size can vary considerably from one brand to another.
Manufacturers’ wheel offset and backspacing measurement points are not always
consistent. Backspacing greatly impacts tire-to-fender clearance when turning.
Wheel width and backspacing influence whether the tires protrude past the
fenders, and to what extent.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT LIFT FOR YOUR VEHICLE:
Double check the Year, Make, Model, Lift Height and KIT Part Numbers.
Prior to beginning the installation, OPEN the boxes and CHECK the included
components compared to the Parts Breakdown. Check all parts and hardware in
the box with the parts list below. Be sure you have all needed parts and know
where they install.
IF you find a packaging error, contact SUPERLIFT directly. Do not contact the
dealer where the system was originally purchased. You will need the control
number from each box when calling; this number is located at the bottom of the
part number label and to the right of the bar code.

FRONT INSTALLATION
-
NOTE: Save all factory components and hardware for reuse, unless noted.
-
Chock rear tires and place transmission in neutral. Raise front of vehicle with a jack and secure a jack stand beneath each frame rail behind the lower control arms. Ease the frame down onto the stands and place transmission in park.
-
Remove front tires and wheels.
-
Remove the front skid plate.
-
Disconnect the sway bar links from the lower control arms.
-
Mark the location of the lower control arm cam washers.
-
Loosen but do not remove all control arm bolts both upper and lower.
-
Remove the strut lower bolt.
-
Position a floor jack under the lower control arm and remove the two bolts holding the lower ball joint to the knuckle.
-
Remove the strut upper nuts and lower jack enough to remove strut from vehicle.
-
All the factory studs need to be trimmed before installing the strut spacer, mark each stud by threading on two of the supplied 10mm flange nuts and marking the stud at the top of the second nut.
-
Using the appropriate cutting tool, cut the studs at the marked location, then remove the nuts and repeat on all studs.
-
Install the new strut spacer (55-01-40018) on top of the strut assembly and secure with factory hardware.
-
Install the strut assembly into the vehicle and secure the upper studs with the supplied 10mm flange nuts.
-
Secure the strut to the lower mount with the factory hardware.
-
Apply thread locker on the lower ball joint knuckle hardware and raise the lower control arm to reattach the ball joint using the factory hardware.
-
Install the skid plate using the factory hardware.
-
Reinstall the sway bar links.
-
Reinstall the tire and wheels.
-
Lower vehicle to the ground.
-
Tighten the upper and the lower control arm bolts with the lower cam washers in the previously marked position.
FINAL CHECKS
- Torque lug nuts.
- The steering wheel must be centered prior to moving the vehicle or an electronic stability program sensor may be activated resulting in a dash light and a warning chime that requires 20 plus ignition key cycles to clear.
- With the vehicle on the ground, check all components for proper operation and clearances. Pay special attention to the clearance between the tires / wheels, brake hoses, wiring, etc. Check tire/wheel clearance with the fenders/bumper as well as with the steering knuckle.
- Realign vehicle to factory specifications. It is necessary to have a proper and professional wheel alignment performed by a certified alignment technician.
- Re-adjust headlights to proper setting.
- Activate four wheel drive system and check for proper engagement.

IMPORTANT PRODUCT USE AND SAFETY INFORMATION / WARNINGS
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll over.
Offset, as much as possible, what is lost in rollover resistance by increasing
tire track width. In other words, go “wide” as you go “tall”; always use as
wide a tire and wheel combination as feasible to enhance vehicle stability. We
strongly recommend, because of rollover possibility, that the vehicle be
equipped with a functional roll bar and cage system. Seat belts and shoulder
harnesses should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover
may occur.
Generally, braking performance and capabilities are decreased when
significantly larger / heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into
consideration while driving. Also, changing axle gear ratios or using tires
that are taller or shorter than factory height will cause an erroneous
speedometer reading. On vehicles equipped with an electronic speedometer, the
speed signal impacts other important functions as well. Speedometer
recalibration for both mechanical and electronic types is highly recommended.
Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or aftermarket parts to increase
vehicle height over the intended height of the SUPERLIFT® product purchased.
Mixing component brands is not recommended.
