Be that as it may, this guide is very straight forward and if you have some knowledge you should be able to install your lift kit with ease.

Fulcrums First Recommendation

If you install your lift kit yourself, we strongly recommend you get two things done. 

  1. Visit a suspension workshop and get a 4x4 wheel alignment - you have been working on your 4WD's suspension so its alignment will be out.
  2. Get your suspension work checked over by a professional - we offer a Free Suspension Check service, its better to be safe than sorry. 

 

Our 4WD Lift Kit DIY Installation Tips Video

You can either get your lift kit installed by us at one of our many stores, where we will look after absolutely everything and even offer FREE after service care. Or you can install the lift kit yourself, to help you we have created a video with 4WD Action which goes over a bunch of tips.

 

 

Fulcrums Best Lift Kit Tips

  1. Make sure you get the right front and rear springs rates for your vehicle. Also, there is a difference between both shock absorber design and brand, make sure you get the right lift kit for the right driving application. 
  2. If you have a 4WD and you install a 4x4 suspension lift kit, the suspension geometry is permanently changed. You need to get a caster or camber adjustment in the form of a bushing, upper control arm or lower control arm.
