2014 Ford F-150 Superlift Suspension Install - Fordified F-150 - Four Wheeler Network
Superlift’s current-generation F-150 6-inch suspension system was reportedly the first aftermarket lift kit certified to comply with the FVMSS 126 traction-control stipulation (see sidebar). The company recently updated the kit to fit ’14 F-150s, which have different control arms and front strut mounts from ’09-’13 models. Replacing the factory knuckles is common with most IFS kits. Increasing the truck’s track width creates more clearance for knuckles, calipers, wheels, and tie-rods. So the engineering challenge here is to design a knuckle that spreads the ball joints 6 inches farther apart while keeping alignment within factory spec and also clearing popular wheel fitments—ideally without having to add thick track-increasing... Superlift accomplished this by starting with Ford’s chassis CAD files. The replacement knuckles are computer-designed in SolidWorks, then the CAD files program the in-house laser-cutter. Short story long: Superlift’s current-generation F-150 kit maintains factory track width. This kit is designed to be installer-friendly. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
