Thank you for choosing Daystar Products
Daystar recommends a certified technician install this system. In addition to these
instructions, professional knowledge of disassemble/reassembly procedures as well
as post instructions checks must be known. Attempts to install this system without
this knowledge and expertise may jeopardize the integrity and/or operating of the
vehicle.
Please read all the instructions before beginning the installation. Check the kit hard-
ware against the parts list. Be sure you have all the needed parts and understand
where they go. If anything is missing, do not proceed with the installation, Call
Daystar Products to obtain needed items. Torque specs are on page 5.
Product Use Information
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is the easier it will roll. We strongly recom-
mend, because of rollover possibility, that seat belts and shoulder harness be worn at
all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur.
Braking performance and capabilities are decreased when significantly large/heavier
tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving, Also, speed-
ometer recalibration is necessary when larger tires are installed.
Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts which increase vehi-
cle height over the intended height of the Daystar Product purchased. Mixing com-
ponent brands, lifts, and/or combining body lift with suspension lift voids all war-
ranties. Daystar makes no claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any and all
implied claims. We will not be responsible for any products that is altered.
Notice to Dealer and Vehicle Owner
Any vehicle equipped with any Daystar Product must have the “Warning to driver”
decal installed on the sun visor or dash. The decal is to act a constant reminder for
whoever is operating the vehicle of its unique handling characteristics. INSTALL-
ING DEALER— Its is your responsibility to install the warning decal and forward
these instructions on to the vehicle owner for review and to be kept in the vehicle
for service life.
After installation occurs, a qualified alignment facility is required to align the
vehicle to factory specs.
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 spac-
ers. Rest assured, installing the spacer supplied will result in the proper amount of
lift out at the wheel
