Note: With an independent suspension, the amount of lift can be significantly greater than the thickness of the lift spacer.

Calculating the amount of lift to expect for an independent suspension application can be a little less straightforward. Independent suspension designs typically consist of at least one control arm, the inside of which is secured to the frame while the outside is attached to the wheel. It is supported by a spring or strut mounted someplace between the wheel and the frame. Suspension travel is accomplished by the control arm pivoting at the point where it is mounted to the frame. Since the wheel is mounted farther from the control arm pivot than the strut is, it experiences a longer travel than the strut does. For example, installing a 1.5” thick strut spacer on independently suspended vehicles can act as 3” lift kits.

What are Lift Kit?
Lift kits are aftermarket enhancements that you can install to lift your vehicle further off the ground.
With a suspension lift kit, you’ll lift up the entire vehicle, from the wheels/axles on up. Suspension lift kits for trucks are installed in a variety of ways, depending upon the vehicle and the kit, with the installation process more complex than with a body kit.
At its simplest, the kits lift up the vehicle. After installing a kit, you can add monster tires, which allow you to navigate off-road and on rough roads with much more finesse.
With a suspension kit, you’ll also benefit from enhanced suspension when accelerating or braking as the kit prevents body squat.

Front Installation

1: To begin install, block the rear tires of the vehicle so that the vehicle is stable and can’t roll backwards. Safely lift the front of the vehicle and support the frame with jack stands. Place jack stands on both sides of the vehicle and remove both front tires.

2:Unbolt the nut for the swaybar end-link. Take out the sway bar end-link.

3:Unbolt the brackets for the abs line using.

4:Remove the shock absorber from the truck.

5:Support the lower cotrol arm with a floor jack.

6:Unbolt the nut holding the tie rod to the knuckle.

7:Loosen the nut holding the upper ball joint to the knuckle.

8:Strike the side of the knuckle where the upper ball joint and tie ord are with a hammer. The upper ball joint and tie rod will separate from the knuckle.

9:Remove the tie rod and upper ball joint from the knuckle.

10:Slowly remove the floor jack for the lower control arm and remove the spring from the vehicle.

11:Install the rubber isolator pad on top of the new spacer then install the spacer on top of the spring making sure the last coil sits down inside the new spacer.

12:Place the spring back on top of the lower control arm.

13:Raise the floor jack while supporting the knuckle until you are able to partially reinsert the threaded portion of the upper ball joint into the hole on the top of the knuckle.

14:Insert a pry bar into the coil spring and pry down on the lower control arm until the upper ball joint can be bolted to the knuckle.

15:Using a wrench and a plier, tighten the nut for the upper ball joint. Use the plier to keep the ball joint from rotating

16:Bolt the tie rod to the knuckle.

17:Reinstall the ABS brackets and the brake line bracket.

18:Bolt back the sway bar end links.

19: Install the front wheel.

Rear Installation

1.Loosen the lug nuts and jack the truck up.

2.Put jackstands under the frame as far rear and high as possible.

3.Support the axle with a floor jack under the rear differential.

4.Remove rear tires.

5.Unbolt the lower shock bolt.

6.Unbolt the sway bar from the axle bracket.

7.Lower the rear axle.

8.The coils should be loose, but not loose enough to pull out.

9.Jack up one side of the axle forcing the other side to drop even closer to the ground.

10.Remove the coil.

11.Place spacer on top of the lower coil bucket.

12.Put coil back into place(forcefully)

13.Repeat on opposite side.

14.Jack the axle up from the differential to align the shocks and reinstall bolts.

15. Reinstall the sway bar bolts.

16.Remove jackstands.

17.Lower truck to the ground.

18.Retighten lug nuts.

19.It is recommended to take your vehicle to an alignment shop to have it realigned.
