NOTE: SEE WARNING AT BOTTOM OF PAGE.
DO NOT COMBINE WITH ANY OTHER SUSPENSION KIT
IMPORTANT NOTE: The advertised amount of lift that this kit provides and the thickness of the spacers
supplied will not be the same! For example, a 2-1/2” lift may only have 1-1/2” thick spacers. The reason for the
difference between the spacer thickness and the amount of lift has to do with suspension geometry. There is a
ratio involved, and it is this ratio that determines the thickness of the spacers. Rest assured, installing the spacer
supplied will result in the proper amount of lift out at the wheel.
NOTE: This kit should be installed by a professional mechanic.
1. Read all instructions and check Bill of Materials before beginning.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Raise the front of vehicle and support with jack stands behind the
lower control arms so that the front tires are off of the ground. Remove the front wheels.

5. Remove the air box on the passenger’s side by removing the hose clamp on the intake and lifting it up and
out. Remove the upper 4 strut tower nuts from inside the engine compartment on both sides. (Label the struts
as to Left and Right so that they are reinstalled on the same side in which they were removed)
6. Separate the strut fork from the strut assembly and remove the strut assembly from the vehicle.
7. Compress the coil spring with a coil spring compressor, Branick Industries Inc. Model No. 7200 or equivalent
and remove the upper strut nut, washer and mounting plate, remove the strut from the spring. Remove the
strut dust cover by cutting it off the lower stem cushion washer. Remove the lower stem cushion washer. It
may take a hammer to loosen it up. Figure 3.

spring spacer seats into the strut groove indentation) Figure 3.
