Introduction:

There are 2 basic Kia Sportage lift kits:

1-3/8"/ 35mm Lift Blocks - ruler shown for scale, not included	3" / 75mm Lift Blocks and Bolt Extensions	Detail of notched blocks - typical of front two blocks

• The shorter 1-3/8" (35mm) makes use of the existing body mount hardware and adds the lift blocks to the stock setup
  • Assumes that you have adequate exposed length of threads on the 8 body mount studs, that is 1-3/8" plus room for the nuts.
• The taller 3" (75mm) kit uses 3" long bolt extensions for the stock hardware and adds the 3" lift blocks
  • Bolt extensions screw onto the stock M14-1.50 studs extending out from the body and provide similar threads to allow re-use of the stock body mount nuts.
  • Bumper and other modifications likely needed at 3" lift and are not included with this kit
• Both kits will include 8 - 3.5" (~89mm) diameter UHMW lift blocks.
  • Blocks are designed to fit over the existing ~80mm diameter rubber body mount bushings
    • They feature a ~6mm (1/4") deep recess, 80mm in diameter to enclose and contain the top of the rubber bushing to keep it from squeezing out from the weight that it supports.
      • As such, the lift blocks will that much taller than the lift height, so the 1-3/8" lift blocks are physically 1-5/8" tall, owing to the 1/4" deep recess in the bottom.
    • Likewise, the top of the block features a stepped down upper portion to fit inside the metal bushing cups under the body.
  • You are encouraged to inspect your vehicle's body mounts to verify that there are indeed 8 mounts (4 per side) and those upper body mount bushings are ~80mm (~3-1/4") in diameter and that there are 14mm (~9/16") diameter threaded studs projecting down through the body mounts from the body.
    • If so, there these lift kits will be applicable to your vehicle.
    • So if you have any questions as to the applicability of this kit with your vehicle, this is how you can find the answer yourself in a few minutes.
• The front 2 blocks may be supplied pre-notched, as noted in the instructions, with the CUT option.
  • New, improved notch design allows easier installation of the front blocks without needing to raise front of body ~6". Owing to the difficulty of machining and holding the slippery UHMW blocks, you may see a little tear out around the notches in the front blocks. This is only cosmetic and will not affect the integrity of the blocks.
• Natural block color is white, may be custom colored black with the CLR kit option.
• Allow 1-2 weeks additonal for fabrication of the Kia Sportage lift kits, due to the complexity of the fully machined, oversized lift blocks and hardware.
• Prices (US $) do not include sales tax or shipping
