How We Test & Verify
The short version: we do not claim hands-on testing that did not happen. Fairlift Kits guides are verified-spec comparisons, built with the method on this page.
How a claim gets published
- It starts in the manufacturer's own fitment notes and specifications, or a named fitment guide — never in another roundup's prose.
- The claim is entered into our structured dataset with its source URL and the date it was checked. A record without a source and a check date fails our build validation and cannot publish.
- Exclusions (trims, drives, factory-lift packages, adaptive suspension and driver-assistance options the kit does not fit) are recorded with the claim and displayed above the recommendation, not in a footnote.
- Prices are dated notes ("listed at $X, checked on this date"), never presented as live prices — and never at all for Amazon links, per the Associates rules.
What we never do
- Claim we installed or drove a kit we did not install or drive.
- Guess an ASIN, a price, a rating or a fitment. Unverified combinations are stored as "unknown" and answered as "not verified yet".
- Generate a page for a vehicle × lift × tire combination we have no verified data for.
Corrections
Data changes: SKUs are revised, listings move, prices drift. Every fitment table shows its last-checked date, records older than 90 days enter a re-check queue, and fixes are logged on our corrections page.
