Install the shock extensions to accommodate the increased suspension travel from the lift kit. This prevents over-extension of the factory shocks.
- Sway Bar Relocation Bracket Installation:
Attach the sway bar relocation brackets to maintain proper sway bar geometry and function after the lift. This helps preserve vehicle stability.

Install the bump stop extensions to prevent suspension bottoming out and protect components during full compression.
- Spring Spacer Isolator Installation:
Place the spring spacer isolators as directed to reduce noise and vibration, and to protect the coil springs.
Fasi successive all'installazione
- Reinstall the front wheels and torque lug nuts to factory specifications.
- Abbassare completamente il veicolo.
- Bounce the front of the vehicle several times to settle the suspension.
- Re-check all fasteners for proper torque after driving approximately 50-100 miles.
6. Considerazioni operative
After installing the leveling lift kit, your vehicle's driving characteristics will change. It is crucial to understand these changes for safe operation.
- Allineamento delle ruote: A professional wheel alignment is mandatory immediately after installation to prevent premature tire wear and ensure proper handling.
- Dinamica di guida: The vehicle's center of gravity will be higher, which may affect stability during sharp turns or emergency maneuvers. Drive cautiously until you are accustomed to the new handling characteristics.
- Spazio per pneumatici: While the kit allows for larger tires, always verify adequate clearance under all steering and suspension articulation conditions.
7. Programma di manutenzione
Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and safe operation of your leveling lift kit.
- Initial Check (50-100 miles): Re-torque all fasteners installed with the kit.
- Controllo mensile: Inspect all visible components for wear, damage, or loose fasteners. Pay close attention to bolts, nuts, and brackets.
- Controllo annuale: Perform a thorough inspection of the entire suspension system, including shocks, springs, and steering components. Check for corrosion on metal parts.
- Pulizia: Regularly clean the kit components, especially after off-road use, to prevent dirt and debris buildup that could lead to corrosion or wear.
