I needed a forklift part and wasn’t sure which one fit. They asked for the model and serial number, got back to me quickly, and made sure I ordered the right one. Really helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this lift kit require an alignment after installation? A: Yes, changing the preload alters suspension geometry, so a professional alignment is recommended to avoid uneven tire wear and handling issues.
Q: Will I need longer shocks to use this kit? A: No, the preload spacers reuse your factory shocks and simply relocate the spring perch to achieve the lift; stock shock length is retained.
