New pre-set coil springs provide lift. In the introduction we discussed how negative camber is induced (the tops of the tires lean outward) as the vehicle is raised. Superlift uses new axle pivot brackets, laser-cut from .25” steel plate, to lower the inboard ends of the axle beams and restore camber. New camber alignment bushings, available from your Ford dealer or local alignment shop, may be needed to precisely “dial-in” camber angle. Caster angle must also be addressed. Caster correction is handled by your choice of either lowering the stock radius arms at their frame (rear) end attaching points, the route taken with our Standard Series system, or by replacing the stock radius arms entirely with our extended length Superunner Long-Arm radius arms. 

The Standard Series method replaces the factory radius arm brackets with longer brackets laser-cut from .25” plate steel. The Superunner Long-Arm radius arms offer caster correction plus additional benefits. The arms are considerably longer than stock, and increase the amount of usable bind-free suspension extension travel. This makes it easier for the tires to travel independently and stay in contact with the road or trail surface. The longer arms also reduce the degree of caster change the vehicle experiences as the suspension goes through its travel cycle. These factors combine to improve overall driveability and ride quality. You’ll experience a noticeable difference both on- and off-road. 

We offer two different products to correct steering linkage angle; on most lifted TTB Fords simply installing our dropped pitman arm alone will result in satisfactory steering characteristics. The dropped arm, used in conjunction with our industry award winning Superunner steering linkage upgrade, delivers optimum steering traits; click here for more info. Superunner Steering System Even in stock form, the Ford TTB steering seems somewhat vague. On off-camber or less than ideal driving surfaces, it takes continuous corrective steering input to keep the vehicle pointed straight. When the vehicle is raised, these inherent tendencies are magnified, creating two areas of concern: 1) Minimizing tie rod angles, 2) Keeping the tie rods’ arc of movement in phase with the axle beams’ arc of movement. These two factors “make or break” driveability. When this geometry is incorrect, it causes excessive toe-in / toe-out variations as the suspension travels, resulting in the TTB Ford version of “bump-steer”. Superlift offers two methods to correct steering. Our dropped pitman arm reduces some of the additional steering linkage angle created by the increased ride height. Our pitman arm, used with our Superunner replacement steering linkage system, addresses both problems. The new steering system uses a centerlink to further reduce tie rod angles, and the new tie rods are more proportional in length to the axle beams. The result is steering linkage that is more in phase with the suspension. 

The most popular and least expensive method of rear lift is via blocks. Add-a-leafs, and different height blocks are available for all applications; most applications have replacement rear spring options available as well.
