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 the beginning, inspect the vehicle’s 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 the needed parts and know where they are installed.

NOTE

The Upper Control Arm Ball Joints DO NOT Have Grease Installed. They MUST Be Greased Prior to Driving.
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.
Always wear safety glasses when using power tools.
Prior to attaching components, be sure all mating surfaces are free of grit, grease, excessive undercoating, etc.
Do not fabricate any components to gain additional suspension height.
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 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 the brake system. Perform a 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 headlight 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 OE, consider the additional stress you could be inducing on the OE and related components.

NOTE
Stock 18”, 20” & 22” Wheels Will Fit back on the vehicle once this suspension system is installed.

WARNING
ANY larger or wider tire & wheel combination other than listed Will Require Vehicle Trimming.

TIRE SIZE SPECIFICATIONS

Tire Size| Wheel| Backspacing

(INCH)

| Offset (MM)
285/65R18| 18×9| 4.5| -12mm
33×10.50R20| 20×9| 4.5| -12mm
295/55 R20| 20×9| 4.5| -12mm

285/60 R20| 20×9| 4.5| -12mm
285/50R22| 22×9| 4.5| -12mm
305/45R22| 22×9| 4.5| -12mm

Maximum BS/Offset Listed

CAUTION
The 2019 and Newer Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra have a Larger Brake Caliper that extends or sticks out past the mounting surface of the wheel. Your choice of aftermarket wheels must be specifically for the 2019 and newer GM models. Backspacing is still crucial, but the wheel’s design must state it fits these newer brake caliper models.

NOTE
ALL Tire & Wheel Combinations Should Be Test Fit Prior to Installation.

Some Minor Trimming be required. Some minor trimming will be required with certain wheel/tire combinations.
This is normal with most aftermarket tire/wheel fitments on GM trucks. Trimming will normally include the bottom edge of the inner fender shrouds and/or the lower corner of the front bumper valance. As a rule of thumb, deeper backspacing and shorter/narrower tires will reduce/eliminate the trimming required.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER : The provided tire/wheel fitments are approximate. The 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. Considering these important factors, we recommend that you fit-check your tire/wheel selection prior to purchasing. The provided tire/wheel fitments are approximate.

FRONT DISASSEMBLY

NOTE
Save all factory components and hardware for reuse, unless noted.

PREPARE VEHICLE [Illustration 1] To properly support the 2019+ Silverado 1500 & Sierra 1500 trucks, wider lift pad adapters are required because the frame is wider than the previous trucks in the area where the front hoist arm lift pads need to be positioned.

  Check the rear tires and place the transmission in neutral. Raise the front of a vehicle with a jack and secure a jack stand beneath each frame rail. Ease the frame down onto the stands and place the transmission in park.
 Raise the hood and disconnect the battery. [10mm]
  Remove the front tires and wheels. [Lug Nuts 22mm]

SWAY BAR LINKS

  [Illustration 2] On each side, disconnect the sway bar link from the lower control arm. [18mm]

TECH TIP
When you remove a factory nut, like the sway bar link nut, put it back on the sway bar link for safekeeping. You will not have to look or sort through removed hardware to find the proper nut. Same with brake line & ABS bracket bolts, tie rod ends, knuckle ball joints, brake caliper bolts, etc.

NOTE
Perform Steps 3-6 One Side At A Time. Start on the Driver Side and complete Steps 3-6. THEN go to the Passenger Side and complete Steps 3-6.

STEERING TIE ROD END

[Illustration 3] Remove the nut from the tie rod end [21mm] Reinstall the nut a couple of turns by hand. Use a Tie Rod Puller to separate the tie rod from the knuckle. Remove the tie rod nut and save for re-installation.

TECH TIP
If you do not have a puller, you can use the method of striking the tie rod boss of the knuckle near the ball joint end to dislodge from the knuckle. Do Not strike the tie rod end, brake rotor or dust shield: Strike the knuckle portion only. Remove the tie rod nut and save for re-installation.

REMOVE ABS & BRAKE LINE BRACKETS FROM KNUCKLE

[Illustration 4-A] Above the tie rod boss on the knuckle, remove the ABS line from the knuckle. [10mm]
 [Illustration 4-B] Follow the ABS line up the front of the knuckle and remove the ABS line bracket from the knuckle. [10mm]
 [Illustration 4-C] On the rear side of the knuckle, unplug the brake pad wear sensor from the brake caliper. Follow the line up and remove the brake pad wear sensor bracket from the knuckle. [10mm]
 [Illustration 4-D] Unbolt the brake line bracket from the rear side of the knuckle. [10mm]
 [Illustration 4-E] Unbolt the ABS/brake pad wear sensor bracket from the inward side of the knuckle.[10mm]

[Illustration 4]

DISCONNECT THE BALL JOINT FROM THE KNUCKLE
Using a jack, slightly lift the Lower Control Arm (LCA) & knuckle assembly to prevent the arms from being at full droop.

[Illustrations 5] Remove the nut from the Upper Ball Joint (UBJ) [18mm], then using the appropriate puller tool, disconnect the ball joints from the knuckle.

TECH TIP
If you do not have a puller tool, you can use a hammer by very carefully striking the ball joint boss’ of the knuckle; do not strike the ball joints.

WARNING

Be careful. Do not let the CV axle shaft dislodge from the CV cup or ‘pull out’ at the differential.
Be careful. Do not let the knuckle fall to the side abruptly. It could cause damage to the ABS wires or brake lines.

Lower the jack to allow the removal of the knuckle assembly from the UBJ. Lean the knuckle outward and to the rear to allow access to the strut.

TECH TIP
Secure the knuckle to the frame with a bungee strap to prevent movement.

IMPORTANT PRODUCT USE AND SAFETY INFORMATION / WARNINGS

WARNING
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 the 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 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.
