OK Im install the SuperLift today and I cant figure out where the brackets for the extended radius arms go. The instructions dont say anything about them, and I havent found too much information on here. Do they go where the old brackets were?? They dont look like they will fit. I also read somewhere that you have to drill in the frame, but I have no clue where. If anyone has any pics please post them or if you know let me know.
Thanks!
 






The brackets go where the old ones came off of only farther back, they do use the back holes from the old brackets as the front holes for the new ones if i remember right. You must remove rivets holding the body mount directly below the front doors as the bracket uses this location for one of the mount locations.

You do also have to drill out the frame in a couple of locations for new braket holes in the extended arm brackets.... we also welded them to the frame for extra support...

Superlifts directions suck eggs... speaking from experience. The best way to remove the rivets is using an air chisel ... also speaking from experience.... I have used torch, grinder and Air die grinder.... all work but are much more work...

Also remember there is a fuel line and the fuel filter right above the frame rail on the drivers side right above where you will be removing the rivets on the body mount that you need for installing the bracket for the extended radius arms... you can remove the bolts holding the fuel filter and pop the clips out that hold the fuel line and wire them up out of the way while you are working in this area... it helps and makes it less likely that sparks or other like items will intrude upon the fuel system and make a big boom as a result....

Hope this helps a little...
 






Awesome that helps a LOT!
