??? SuperLift .???

I recently bought a 4" lift kit w/rr. blocks off e-Bay for a GREAAAT price & was hoping someone could hopefully tell me where a can get a copy of the instructions . I "think" that I figure it out but would also like the torque #`s .. Thanks, Scooter :-X12

Call up Superlift and ask them to fax or e-mail you a copy of the directions. Get their number off their website. I contacted Skyjacker before I bought my lift and they e-mailed me a copy of the directions. They also have links to the directions on their website that you can download. Not sure if Superlift is the same way though. Good luck!

??? SuperLift .???

Thanks for the help. I called SuperLift today & they send a fax to me within 15 minutes. Now that I`m almost done a have a few more questions. I got 6 shocks when I purchased this & trying to figure where they`re going ? The directons say the ft. shock # is 85144 & rr. is 85168.
The #`s I have are P01011 C271 005
650 328

================================================== ====================
P02016 B242 010
658073
================================================== ====================

I would think the 3 line part # is the steering dampeners but not to sure about the other 2 .

I also drove the truck up the road 1/2 mile or so & the steering wheel is 1/4 of turn turn off to the right. I would appreciate any help thanks again, Scooter

Contact SL on those part numbers, to make sure which go where.
Your wheels is off due to raising the frame futher from the axle, it in turn changed the angle on your drag link.
You need to loosen the collar on the link and turn it until your wheel is centered. Turn it only a 1/4 each time, snug it up, and back up 10 feet and drive forward 10 feet, and adjust again if necessary.
Once you have your wheel centered, crank down the nuts on your collar.

Best bet is to center your steering wheel, jack up the front and do the adjustments with the wheels off the ground.

??? SuperLift .???

Sorry I didn't reaspond earlier but I must have kept missing this one. I installed a 4" superlift on my truck with the rear blocks. Good luck with adjusting the drag link I would turn it a little bit then it would be to far. Then I would turn it back and it would'nt be far enough. It took several times of going back and forth until I got it perfect. I don't have a superlift stearing stabilizer so I cant help you there, and I thought the front and rear shocks were the same. I could be wrong though. Tomorow i'm starting to put my body lift on so I'll look for my instructions to find shock #'s for ya while i'm at the shop. I have almost 20000 miles since the lift and I did not get it aligned. My tires are wearing nice and straight. Sorry for the late reasponse and i'll look for the shock #'s for you tomorow.:-X12

No alignment is necessary, nothing is affecting the caster - camber or the toe.
Like Hobert said, a little movement on the collar equals a lot on the steering wheel. so only go a little at a time snug it up drive back and forth and see where it ends up.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 26-Dec-02 AT 01:11 PM (EST)]Bad news I cant find the paperwork that came with the lift I thought I kept it with all the stock parts, but it wasn't there. I didn't crawl under the truck to look if there was a number on the shock in fear of drowning in the melting road slush. If you don't have yours on yet look and tell me if there is a # on them. Then i'll go get it. I just dont want to crawl in the wonderful white stuff and look for somthing that might not be there.



ON EDIT:


Here are the #'s off of the front shocks the way they are on the shock



P0135 B120-056

Here are the back's #'s

The rear shocks are alot longer so I went ahead & put them on, then I put the other shocks with #`s close to each other in the front. Hopefully the 2 I didn`t put on are for the steering dampners since I don`t have a mounting bracket anyway .

it might be easier to center the steering wheel if you stick the key in to unlock the steering column and have someone sit inside to tell you when to stop turning.
