Specter now offers a Lift Kit for those customers who want new springs for their 40 Series, but do not want the great deal of added lift that our 4 Inch Lift Kit offers. This 2 Inch Lift Kit is a great way to eliminate your worn out stock suspension.

Each kit includes the following items:

  1. SOR Heavy Duty Leaf Springs - Quantity 4 - These multi tapered leaf springs are manufactured using the highest quality 5160H alloy spring steel. SOR's Front Heavy Duty Leaf Springs have six multi tapered leafs per stack. The Rear Heavy Duty Leaf Springs have five multi tapered leafs per stack to provide a soft, flexible suspension, built to exacting tolerances.
  2. Explorer Pro-Comp Extended Shocks - Quantity 4 - Explorer Pro-Comp Shock Absorbers are a 10-stage, velocity sensitive valving that delivers a superior highway ride, maximum performance, and control off-road. Expanded fluid reservoir and twin tube construction increases fluid capacity up to 50%. This, combined with Pro-Comp's exclusive fluid, allows the Pro-Comp Shock Absorbers to perform consistently in all climates even under the most extreme conditions, reduces shock temperature, and protects internal components. Shock boots should be ordered separately when you purchase a lift kit. These boots keep the dirt out of the shaft and away from the shaft seal which reduces the possibility of premature shaft seal failure, thus longer shock life. Shock boots come in your choice of colors black, red, yellow, and blue.
  3. Anti-Inversion Plated Tri-Shackles - Quantity 4 - These stock length shackles are case hardened with grease fittings, and use stock size bushings (included).
  4. Graphite Impregnated Poly Bushings - Quantity 24
  5. U-Bolts With Washers & Nuts - Quantity 28

Torque Bar

This Torque Bar is ideal for those with altered suspension and "spring-over" suspensions. This Torque Bar prevents spring windup and possible breakage due to high torque loading or unloading while climbing steep grades, under high acceleration, over broken uneven surfaces, or with heavy loads. They also help eliminate the danger of spring or shock failure during sudden axle drops.

These Torque Bars are unique in their design with a removable interlocking pin that gives you needed maximum suspension travel. Simply by removing the pin, the Torque Bar is allowed to slide, giving increased freedom to the suspension. This Torque Bar is manufactured using the highest grade of steel and equipped with polyurethane bushings for long life under all driving conditions. Comes with installation hardware. Some drilling and welding is required for installation.

Leaf Spring Centering Pins

When using stock leaf springs, it's important and recommended that you change the Leaf Spring Centering Pin to one that has a longer head. Doing this will compensate for the additional thickness of the shim and limit the possibility of slippage. Sold in pairs.

Caster Spring Shims

When a vehicle is lifted using an extended shackles, the steering caster angle changes from the stock -1 deg. angle. This creates undue wear on steering components (Knuckle Bearings, Tie Rod Ends, Steering Box). You may also notice your vehicle wander or follow grooves in the road (under inflated tires and other worn steering components will also cause wandering). This problem can be corrected by using Caster Spring Shims. In vehicles with V-8 and or automatic transmission conversions that require the rear drive shaft to be shortened, Caster Spring Shims can help relieve stress on U-joints by rotating the rear pumpkin up. Sold in pairs.

Caster Spring Shims rotate the axle back to a stock tolerance:

When you raise a vehicle by adding longer shackles, the axle housing rotates downward changing the angle of the differential and steering components.
