Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this lift kit require an alignment after installation? A: Yes, changing the preload alters suspension geometry, so a professional alignment is recommended to avoid uneven tire wear and handling issues.

Q: Will I need longer shocks to use this kit? A: No, the preload spacers reuse your factory shocks and simply relocate the spring perch to achieve the lift; stock shock length is retained.
