I've heard of the Sulastic's, but I've never researched them. I'm looking forward to your install and results.

Measuring height…to figure out if there is a height change.




im going to call this 48 1/4

my rear has 5” lift block

i I have a 4” I want to put in ….assuming height change is minimal from sulastic’s. Gail is to go from 5” to 4” …but don’t know what the sulastics will do

These are the HD version

there is a lever you throw if you are going to tow. The regular versions don’t have the lever.

these are big and heavy…not sure if this is a 2 person job. We will soon find out.









beer is for size reference

Instructions sheet says…

we don’t have instructions for your vehicle

just take off stock hangers and damper

and put these on.


there are a few pages about how to adjust

moving on.

there are two sizes

regular

HD


a lot of folks try to use the regular version on trucks that tow slow…they wind up breaking the sulastics…if you tow a lot you need the HD version.
