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. Park vehicle on a level surface and chock rear wheels. Jack up the front of the vehicle and place jack stands under the frame rails.

2. Remove the tires and wheels.

3. Remove the ABS line and bracket from the upper control arm.

4. Disconnect driver and passenger side sway bar end links.

5. Remove lower strut mounting bolts.

6. Pry up ABS retaining clips from the upper strut mounting nuts.

7. Remove upper strut mounting nuts.

8. Remove entire strut assembly from vehicle

9. Place strut spacer on top of strut.

10. Loosen upper ball joint nut. Do not remove from knuckle.

11. Using a hammer, hit the side of your knuckle to separate ball joint from it.

12. Place a jack under your lower control arm to support and remove your upper ball joint.

13. Lower suspension slightly and reinstall strut assembly using the new hardware provided in your kit.

14. Once installed, jack up your suspension from your lower control arm

15. Using a pry bar on your upper control arm, Place ball joint back into knuckle

16. Tighten upper ball joint to factory torque spec.

17. Reattach ABS line and bracket and sway bar end links

18. Take vehicle to an alignment shop to avoid improper tire wear and poor ride quality.

Rear Installation

1.Inspect your lift block kit:

In your lift block kit, you should have the U-bolts, nuts and, of course, the lift blocks. Ensure that all of the parts you've purchased are there, while also checking to see the proper lift block for your vehicle.
2.Chock your front wheels:

You don't want your vehicle moving while you install your lift blocks. Since you'll be removing your rear wheels from the truck, you need to chock the front wheels so the vehicle doesn't move when you lift the rear.
3.Lift vehicle and remove rear wheels:

After securing the front wheels, you can then raise your vehicle off the ground and remove the rear wheels to access the area where you're going to place your lift blocks. Use a jack stand to keep the truck steady while you install the lift blocks.
4.Unbolt and lower rear axle:

The next step of the process is removing the nuts and U-bolts of the rear axle. Next, you lower your rear axle until you have space between your axle and the leaf spring.
5.Install lift blocks:

After you've made enough space for your lift block to fit, center your lift block using the two holes on the axle's top plate.
6.Complete installation:

With your blocks now centered and in the proper position, you'll lift your axle again. You'll bolt your lift block, axle and spring back, tightening the bolts to the manufacturer's specs. Finally, reinstall your wheels and lower the vehicle to the ground.
