Lifting Front End Suspension

• 1). Loosen the lug nuts on the vehicle. Doing this before you raise the vehicle off the ground is essential; otherwise the tires will rotate when you are trying to loosen the lug nuts.
  
  
• 2). Lift the front end of the vehicle and place jack stands under the frame. Before moving on to the next step, make sure that the vehicle is properly supported.
  
  
• 3). Remove tires from front of vehicle.
  
  
• 4). Place jack under the front axle of the vehicle to support it, but do not raise vehicle.
  
  
• 5). Remove front shocks, sway bar links and tie rod ends. This is also the time to loosen the control arm bolts, but do not remove them.
  
  
• 6). Lower jack slightly to allow axle to droop, being careful that you do not lower so much that the brake lines are damaged.
  
  
• 7). Remove coil springs, bump stops and bump stop mounting cup. To make re-installation less confusing, mark springs so they are re-installed on the correct side of the vehicle.
  
  
• 8). Install new spacers. The spacers used will depend on the desired lift height.
  
  
• 9). Re-install bump stop mounting cup, bump stops and springs. Make sure you re-install springs on the correct side of the vehicle.

Rear Suspension Lift

• 1). Raise rear of the vehicle by placing jack under the differential.
  
  
• 2). Support vehicle by placing jack stands under the frame. Jack stands must be high enough that the tires will not touch the ground when you lower the jack.
  
  
• 3). Remove tires and wheels from vehicle.
  
  
• 4). Disconnect sway bar links, shock mounts and rear track arm.
  
  
• 5). Lower rear differential enough that the springs come loose. Be careful when doing this so you do not damage the brake lines.
  
  
• 6). Remove springs, bump stops and bump stop mounting cup.
  
  
• 7). Install spring spacer and replace bump stop mounting cup.
  
  
• 8). Re-install bump stops and springs. Make sure these are replaced on the same side they came off of.
  
  
• 9). Raise differential and make sure springs are properly in saddles.
