MPORTANT 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.
WARNING
This vehicle has been modified to enhance its performance. The steering, braking and handling of this vehicle will differ from standard
passenger cars and trucks; this vehicle handles differently from an ordinary vehicle in driving conditions which may occur on streets,
highways and off road. Avoid unnecessary abrupt maneuvers, sudden stops, sharp turns and other driving conditions that could cause
loss of control, possibly leading to a roll over or other accident that could result in serious injury or death to driver and passengers. If
larger tires are installed the speedometer will read lower than the vehicles actual speed.
DRIVE WITH CARE, REDUCE SPEED AND WEAR SEAT BELTS AT ALL TIMES.
This kit should be installed by a professional mechanic
