Superlift Ford Maverick Lift

IINTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: The provided tire/wheel fitments are approximate. Actual dimensions of a given tire size can vary considerably from one brand to another. Manufacturers’ wheel offset and backspacing measurement points are not always consistent. Backspacing greatly impacts tire-to-fender clearance when turning. Wheel width and backspacing influence whether the tires protrude past the fenders, and to what extent. Considering these important factors, we recommend that you fit-check your tire/wheel selection prior to purchasing.

INSPECT ALL PARTS

Prior to beginning the installation, OPEN the Boxes and CHECK the Included Components Compared to the Parts Breakdown. Check all parts and hardware in the box with the parts list below. Be sure you have all needed parts and know where they install.

IF you find a packaging error, contact SUPERLIFT directly. Do not contact the dealer where the system was originally purchased. You will need the control number from each box when calling; this number is located at the bottom of the part number label and to the right of the bar code. •

PARTS LIST

The part number is stamped into each part or printed on an adhesive label. Identify each part and place the appropriate mounting hardware with it.

Installation requires a professional mechanic. The overall vehicle must be in excellent working condition; repair or replace all worn parts.

Read instructions several times before starting. Be sure you have all needed parts and know where they install. Read each step completely as you go.

NOTES: 

• Front end alignment is necessary.
• Do not fabricate any components to gain additional suspension height.
• Prior to attaching components, be sure all mating surfaces are free of grit, grease, excessive undercoating, etc.
• A factory service manual should be on hand for reference.

FRONT INSTALLATION

Save all factory components and hardware for reuse, unless noted.

1. Disconnect the battery.

2. [Illustration 1] Under the hood, remove clip holding the windshield wiper cover.

3. [Illustration 1] Lift the windshield wiper cover, then unbolt and remove the strut cover.

4. [Illustration 2] Unbolt the upper strut bolts. [13mm]

5. Secure the vehicle on jack stands with a jack under the lower control arm.

6. Remove front tires.

7. [Illustration 3] Disconnect the tie rod from the knuckle. [15mm]

8. [Illustration 4] Remove and discard the sway bar link. [18mm]

9. [Illustration 5] Remove the brake hose from the strut. [8mm]

10. [Illustration 6] Remove the bolts from the lower strut mount. [21mm]

11. [Illustration 7] Carefully lower the control arm enough to remove the strut from the vehicle.

12. [Illustration 8 & 9] Using the appropriate sanding tool, grind the lower strut edge down; paint the ground edge.

13. [Illustration 10] Place the strut assembly in a compressor, once compressed carefully remove the strut top plate.

14. [Illustration 11] Place the bump stop cup, bump stop and boot into the new preload spacer.

15. [Illustration 12 & 13] Remove the coil spring isolator from the top plate and install the new preload spacer (55-01-9755) onto the top plate,
then place the coil spring isolator onto the new preload spacer.

16. Reinstall the top plate assembly onto the strut.

17. [Illustration 14] Place the new strut spacer (55-02-9755) on the top of the strut and secure using the 8mm hardware.

18. [Illustration 15] Install the strut back into the vehicle.

19. Raise the control arm up to seat the upper strut mount in position and secure the upper mount using the factory hardware.

20. Reinstall the strut cover using the factory hardware.

21. Reclip the windshield wiper cover.

22. Secure the lower mount using the factory hardware. [21mm]

23. Reattach the brake hose to the bracket using the factory hardware. [8mm]

24. [Illustration 16] Install the new sway bar bracket (55-03-9750) and secure the bracket to the stock location using the supplied 12mm hardware placing the bolt from the inside facing out. [19mm]

IMPORTANT PRODUCT USE AND SAFETY INFORMATION / WARNINGS

As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll over. Offset, as much as possible, what is lost in rollover resistance by increasing tire track width. In other words, go “wide” as you go “tall”; always use as wide a tire and wheel combination as feasible to enhance vehicle stability. We strongly recommend,
because of rollover possibility, that the vehicle be equipped with a functional roll bar and cage system. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur. Generally, braking performance and capabilities are decreased when significantly larger / heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving. Also, changing axle gear ratios or using tires that are taller or shorter than factory height will cause an erroneous speedometer reading. On vehicles equipped with an electronic speedometer, the speed signal impacts other important functions as well. Speedometer recalibration for both mechanical and electronic types is highly recommended.

Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or aftermarket parts to increase vehicle height over the intended height of the SUPERLIFT® product purchased. Mixing component brands is not recommended.
