More Super Duty Lift Options
Superlift bolsters its 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch lift systems for '05-'07 Ford F-250/F-350 4x4s with a new front four-link upgrade. Replacing the factory radius arms offers several advantages, primarily less caster change as the suspension cycles. This yields more stable steering and handling characteristics in all types of terrain. All components are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Info: 877/843-5351, www.superlift.com
Tiger Claw
This new hitch is CNC-machined from a solid bar of alloy steel that is said to be three times stronger than any other product on the market for similar use.

2008 GM Mass Air Sensor
JET Performance Products has just released a new Powr-Flo Mass Air Sensor for '08 Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC trucks and SUVs. The JET Powr-Flo Mass Air Sensor delivers improved horsepower, torque, and mileage by simply replacing the restrictive stock mass air sensor. The factory sensor not only is a major restrictive point in stock intake systems, but it also limits the full potential of aftermarket cold-air intake systems. The flowbench-tested design of the JET Mass Air Sensor provides airflow increases of up to 45 percent and installs easily in 10 minutes or less. It's available for '08 GM trucks and SUVs with 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, and 6.2L engines. Info: 800/535-1161, www.jetchip.com
Big Dog Battery
The Odyssey 34-PC1500 battery employs a unique thin-plate-pure-lead (TPPL) technology to provide two essential performance characteristics in one battery: Maximum cranking power and true 400 deep cycles to 80 percent depth of discharge. The 34-PC1500 battery is 12 volts and provides 1,500 cranking amps for five seconds and 135 reserve minutes, with superior deep-cycle and charging capabilities to provide repeatable power for a long service life. It will perform at its 5-second cranking power in temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Terminals are SAE 3/8-inch receptacles. Info: 660/429-2165, www.odysseybattery.com
Lift Your '04-'07 Nissan Armada Or Infiniti Qx56
This is the new Rancho suspension system for '04-'07 Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX56 models. Up front the kit includes a two-piece, high-clearance crossmember and extended-length steering knuckles. Out back it utilizes a bolt-on rugged sub-assembly that lowers all factory pivot points. The system also includes front differential drop brackets that correct pinion angle, thus minimizing driveline vibration. The arrangement maintains the vehicle's rack-and-pinion location and preserves OE steering geometry for as-stock handling. No drivetrain or exhaust modifications are required. The system is fully compatible with stock tire/wheel packages. Info: www.gorancho.com
Improve Steering Response On Lifted Gm Trucks
Lift kits and larger wheels and tires look great, but on '99-and-later GM trucks and SUVs, that aggressive stance comes at a price, and lazy steering and premature component failure are almost a guarantee. But now, SuperSteer, a division of Henderson's, has teamed up with Cognito Motorsports to offer a kit that solves these problems. The SuperSteer idler support features a stronger cast-iron housing and heavy-duty tapered roller bearing to reduce play and eliminate steering "slop." Meanwhile, the Cognito Motorsports brace ties in the pitman arm, centerlink, and idler support to prevent premature ball-socket wear and changes in toe-in. The result is precise steering, reduced effort, and long component/tire life. The SS175K6 Brace Kit fits all '99-and-up 1500-series 4x4 trucks and SUVs; the SS175K8 Brace Kit fits '99-and-up 2500/3500-series 4x2 and 4x4 trucks and SUVs (and Hummer H2). A weld-on idler frame gusset (which reduces flex in the frame-mounted idler bracket) is available separately. Info: 800/245-8309, www.hendersonslineup.com
