6"Superlift Fitment Trouble
Hi everyone, just joined and its great to find a forum dedicated to Crewcabs. I am installing Superlifts 6" lift on my 01 Crewcab and I cannot get the front crossmember to line up with the LCA mounts. Has anyone had this problem, and what did you do for a fix.
Been waiting for a reply from Superlift for 2 weeks!

We have not heard from mickm in quite a while, but his email address is public - mickm@bayou.com He was the lead design engineer for the kit.
I would explain that you are a member here and see what he suggests. Perhaps provide a link to your post here so that we can all learn.
Welcome glad you found us!

Hello All,
KB did write me this weekend and while I will do everything possible to get his problem addressed, his dilemma brings to light a situation that may be of help to anyone with a problem in the future.
When you have a problem such as KB's it is understandable that you would like an answer immediately. Many times our sales and tech staff, while being very knowledgable, can't understand why you are having this particular problem. So, in the sake of getting the best answer in the shortest time span, I would urge you take a few digital pictures of the area/parts in question and email them to us. As someone once stated, "A picture is worth a thousand words" and this has proven to speed up the process in every case thus far.
Thank you for choosing Superlift.
Happy Holidays,
MickM

Excellent advice
I recently phoned Dell's customer support looking for some replacement parts for my wife's laptop. Finally I was transfered to the repair/parts department, and it took me an hour to explain to the nice girl that I needed the circuit board that the power/volume buttons are on, which is separate from the system board. A picture would've saved me and her alot of time

GeorgeBlazah is correct, Grizz's problems stems from a hole control point tolerance. This spurred an inquire into the issue where it was discovered one of the pinning processes in the welding phase of construction was not corrected adhered to. This has now been corrected both in components on the shelf and future production runs.
A simple adjustment with a file will easily correct the issue but without Grizz's brings this to light, this would have gone unnoticed.
I appreciate HenryJ's advice in this forum allowing us to address this issue in a positive manor and Grizz's patience in getting an answer.

mickm has been very helpful by resolving two issues I had, plus one that he noticed in a pic I sent him that I was not aware of.
My faith in Superlift has been restored!
Henry J did me a great service by refering him, and also in turn helped Superlift resolve an issue they had with their welding jig.
In the near future I will have some info and pics on these issues that will need to be posted somewhere on this site so it can be shared with others.
Thanks again

yeah i remeber it was close.... we didnt want to take away alot of strength form the factory welds so it was a lot of gridning and fitting till it got perfect.mickm wrote:GeorgeBlazah is correct, Grizz's problems stems from a hole control point tolerance.
