Thank you for choosing Superlift for all your suspension needs!

Read and understand all instructions and warnings prior to installation of system and operation of vehicle.

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.

• Do not install this suspension system in conjunction with any other type of aftermarket or fabricated components to gain additional suspension height.
• Front end alignment is necessary.
• A foot-pound torque reading is given in parenthesis ( ) after each appropriate fastener.
• Tool and wrench/socket size is given in brackets [ ] after each appropriate step.
• Prior to attaching components, be sure all mating surfaces are free of grit, grease, excessive undercoating, etc.
• Always wear safety glasses when using power tools.
• A factory service manual should be on hand for reference.

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.
• It is the ultimate 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 oe, consider the additional stress you could be inducing on the oe and related components.
• Stock \ factory wheels will fit back on the vehicle once this suspension system is installed.

TIRE SIZE SPECIFICATIONS

Tire Size| Wheel| Backspacing

(INCH)

| Offset (MM)
265/70 R17| 17 x 8.5| 4.75| 0mm
265/65 R18| 18 x 8.5| 4.75| 0mm
275/55 R20| 20 x 8.5| 4.75| 0mm
275/45 R22| 22 x 8.5| 4.75| 0mm

Any larger or wider tire & wheel combination other than listed will require vehicle trimming.
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. This is normal with most aftermarket tire/wheel fitments on today’s trucks. Trimming will normally include the bottom edge of the inner fender shrouds and/or lower corner of front bumper valance. As a rule of thumb, deeper backspacing and shorter/narrower tires will reduce/eliminate trimming required.

OTHER LIMITATIONS – EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES – YOUR RIGHTS UNDER STATE LAW

• Neither superlift® nor your independent superlift® dealer are responsible for any time loss, rental costs, or for any incidental, consequential or other damages you may have.
• This limited warranty gives you specific rights, and this is the only warranty superlift® makes in connection with your product purchase. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state. For example, while all implied warranties are disclaimed herein, any implied warranty required by law is limited to the terms of our limited lifetime warranty as described above. Some states do not allow limitations of how long an implied warranty lasts and / or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations and exclusions herein may not apply to you. Superlift® neither assumes nor authorizes any retailer or other person or entity to assume for it any other obligation or liability in connection with this product or limited warranty.

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.
