3. Important Notices Before Installation
Please read these important notices carefully before proceeding with the installation. Adherence to these guidelines is crucial for safety and proper function.
- It is highly recommended to prepare a spring compressor and a pry bar before beginning the installation process. These tools are essential for safe and efficient component removal and installation.
- An alignment of your vehicle's suspension is always recommended after altering its height. This ensures proper steering, tire wear, and vehicle handling.
- Professional installation is strongly recommended due to the complexity and safety requirements involved in suspension modifications.

4. Installation Guide
This section provides a general overview of the installation process. Due to the technical nature of suspension modifications, professional installation is highly recommended. Always refer to a detailed service manual for your specific vehicle model for precise torque specifications and procedures.
General Steps (Professional Installation Recommended):
- Vehicle Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and block the rear wheels. Loosen the front lug nuts.
- Lift Vehicle: Safely lift the front of the vehicle using a jack and support it with jack stands under the frame. Remove the front wheels.
- Disconnect Components: Disconnect the sway bar links, brake lines (if necessary, use the relocation brackets), and shock absorbers. Carefully lower the axle to relieve tension on the coil springs.
- Remove Coil Springs: Using a spring compressor, carefully compress and remove the factory front coil springs.
- Install Front Spacers: Place the 2.5" front coil spring spacers on top of the coil spring mounts.
- Reinstall Coil Springs: Reinstall the coil springs (with spacers) and reconnect all previously disconnected components. Install the shock extenders.
- Repeat for Rear: Repeat the process for the rear axle, installing the 2" rear steel lift coil spacers and connecting the brake line relocation brackets.
- Final Assembly: Reinstall wheels, lower the vehicle, and torque lug nuts to factory specifications.
- Post-Installation: Drive the vehicle a short distance to allow the suspension to settle, then re-torque all fasteners. An alignment is mandatory after installation.

6. Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and performance of your maXpeedingrods lift kit components.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect all components of the lift kit, including spacers, extenders, brackets, and all fasteners, for any signs of wear, damage, or looseness.
- Torque Check: Re-check the torque on all bolts and nuts after the first 500 miles of driving and then every 5,000-10,000 miles, or after any significant off-road use.
- Cleaning: Keep the components clean from excessive dirt, mud, and road salt, especially in harsh environments, to prevent corrosion. The powder-coated surface provides good protection, but regular cleaning helps.
- Alignment: Maintain proper wheel alignment as recommended after installation and if you notice any unusual tire wear or steering issues.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues that may arise after installing a lift kit. If you encounter problems not listed here, please contact customer support.
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uneven Ride Height | Improper installation of spacers; suspension not settled; worn factory components. | Ensure spacers are seated correctly. Drive vehicle to allow suspension to settle. Inspect and replace worn factory springs or shocks if necessary. |
| Vibrations After Lift | Driveshaft angle issues; loose components; tire imbalance. | Check all fasteners for proper torque. Verify driveshaft angles (may require additional components for higher lifts, though less common with this mild lift). Balance tires. |
| Steering Issues / Pulling | Misalignment; loose steering components. | Perform a professional wheel alignment immediately. Check all steering and suspension components for looseness. |
| Clunking/Squeaking Noises | Loose bolts; components rubbing; worn bushings. | Inspect all installation points and re-torque bolts. Check for clearance issues. Lubricate or replace worn bushings. |
