All Sports 4in Lift Kit Parts Missing

Trying to install my 4in lift from All sports, does it not come with allen wrench for king pin bolts on spindles? They provide some loc tite, i assume this goes on these allen head bolts?

Don't recall if my kit came with Allen wrench or not. Before you use the locktite make all your adjustments, then remove the bolts and put the locktite on.

Nope... no Allen wrench/Hex key is supplied in the kit!
All Sports just automatically assumes that you have all of the tools for the install! (It just so happened that I had a larger set to install mine!)
And yes... the loctite is for the kingpin Allen bolts, and as mrgolf said... DO NOT use it until the alignments are set!

If your installing a lift kit and don't have them it's time to update your tool box with some new tools. I would have never imagined All Sports sending me an allen wrench to install my lift. I like adding new tools to my tool box! You have to options you can buy the L-shaped set or the socket set. If you can get both they come in handy.

So I used loc tite prior to alignment, is this going to be major issue? I had the Allen wrench for it so big deal!

It may be a problem... I did the same thing with my Madjax kit!
you may need an impact wrench and some heat to get them out to align it!

Now you don't have to remove the actual Allen bolt to make alignment right? I thought u just loosen nut at lower arm & top of spindle?

lockman1

I hate to say it, but yeah... you do!
The heim joints are threaded into the a-arms, and the lock nut is just to keep them from twisting!

So on the all sports lift I was able to adjust lower by loosening nut on outer & inner to move bottom tire out make adjustment. Attached picture, is this not correct?

I'm not sure about the a-arm lift... I have the 4" Super Sport lift,
On mine, you have to remove the hex bolt, twist out the heim joint from the a-arm, and check the alignment,
and repeat this procedure until it's close, or on the money... then you tighten the nut to lock it down.
