Why can't I reuse my U-bolts?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions when discussing leaf springs and related components. You can read this page here to get the answer. Please note Fulcrum Suspensions will always supply the correct U-bolt in the kit (where applicable).

This Lift Kit and its Height Variations

Suppliers are often not open about this topic from the initial purchase. However, we believe in honesty and providing customers with all the information relevant to their purchase. Fulcrum Suspensions supplies this text on the subject. The below is not exclusive to Fulcrum Suspensions, every brand of lift kit and every company that sells lift kits understands the below and works through it.

In the title of this lift kit, a specific height increase is referenced. Although this is accurate, due to the complicated nature of suspension and numerous varying factors between each vehicle, such as accessories, factory ride height, sag due to age, use, and pre-existing conditions, there will always be a tolerance for the final lift height increase that your 4WD receives both front and rear may vary to the one listed in the product’s title.

If you select the correct constant load details and we supply the correct springs, your 4WD will get the correct lift height, within tolerance of as advertised. However, due to external factors, the tolerance may vary as much as + or – 15mm.

External factors that affect lift heights

• On top of our engineering, we have installed this lift kit on thousands of 4WD’s across Australia and each with various setups. This has given us the data to determine the average lift height increases. The height increase referenced in the title of this lift kit is based on that average number.
• If the vehicle has sagged already due to overloaded springs caused by age, use, and accessory installation, then the lift height change will likely be greater than the one listed in the product’s title. However, even with pre-existing sag, the lift will take the vehicle back to OE ride heights + the increased lift mentioned.
• Every vehicle that comes off the factory floor has a tolerance variation in factory ride heights. Therefore, the final before and after measurements, both front and rear, will always be different from vehicle to vehicle. Which means that even though this lift kit specifies a specific lift height in the title, due to the varying standard ride heights of each vehicle, the lift you may receive will vary.
• If you do not select the correct options when purchasing this kit, then we will not be able to supply you with the correct springs, which will affect the lift height increase. Be sure that you discuss this with the professional that will be installing the kit prior to purchase and that you give them all the information they need so that they can give you the right advice.

Springs & Lift Heights

As springs are what lift your 4WD, to ensure you get the correct height increase (lift), it is paramount that we supply the correct springs for your 4WD’s constant loads and intended use.

Although all lift kits specify a specific lift height in the title, as your 4WD has front and rear springs, this means you will have a front lift height and a rear lift height. The spring rates we supply in this lift kit are determined by the choices you make based on the weights you carry.

Keep in mind that both the front and rear springs work in conjunction with one another. If the spring rate for either the front or rear is wrong, this could cause an uneven lift, making the vehicle nose down or nose up which is not the outcome we want and may not be legal for on-road use. So before purchasing, when talking to your chosen fitter, be certain to provide them with as much info as possible in regards to the vehicle’s use and also constant loads.

To get the correct springs for your car, you must match your vehicle’s constant load/weight to the correct spring rates. For example, if you carry 250kgs, you should get a spring that best matches that load. To help you make the appropriate choice from a theoretically limitless set of combinations, we have made the options limited to what most people typically need and attempted to use easy-to-understand representative descriptors for the choices which we have made available.

We recommend you get all your constant load accessories sorted before you get a lift kit installed. This will ensure you have a level lift and the best ride from the get-go and won’t require future spring changes. A ‘constant load’ is the accessories/gear that will be installed or in the vehicle 24/7. That would include any heavy items which you would regularly carry but may remove from the vehicle for safekeeping when it is not in use such as tools or sports equipment, for more information please see below.

You do not want to get a spring that is rated less than the load you carry at constant. If you do this, you will overload your spring and it will sag/fail. You can overload a spring by carrying too heavy of a load (front/rear) or by towing a boat caravan that adds extra weight to the tow ball. For example, if you have a 300kg rated rear spring but load your rear to 500kg, then your rear spring would fail and sag. The same applies to the front, with various engines and accessories having different weights such as alloy bull bar, steel bull bar, bumper bars, steel winch, synthetic winch, bash plates, tow hook, batteries, diesel engine, petrol engines, etc.

The flipside to the above is that you do not want to get a spring that is rated too high for what you carry at constant. For example, you do not want to get a spring that is rated to 300kg if you only carry 100kg constantly. If you do this, you will have a very stiff ride and it could lead to suspension failure such as shock top outs, coil spring trap issues and more.

If you are carrying any dynamic load, including extra load on the weekends, or tow anything, then you will need an airbag kit to help. Airbag kits are designed specifically not to carry weight but to help support your springs to handle any extra weight you may carry occasionally, like a boat, caravan, camper, trailer, or general load increase.

If you have any questions before you make a purchase, please use our online chat or call us. Please have your vehicle’s registration number ready so that we can confirm your vehicle’s details and provide us with all the correct information so that we can provide you with the correct advice. If you cannot provide your vehicle’s registration number or aren’t sure about your constant load, then we will still be happy to answer any general queries.
