Dynamic Vehicle Check
1. Check steering and suspension in all positions
to ensure that there is no bind and adequate
clearance between all moving, fixed, and heated
members. Check operation of clutch, brake sys-
tem, and parking brake. Check operation of trans-
mission and transfer case. Ensure there is full en-
gagement in all gears and 4WD ranges. Check
battery connections and electrical component op-
erations. Test-drive vehicle.
WARNING
Re-torque all fasteners after 500 miles and after
off road use. All suspension lift components
should be visually inspected and fasteners re-
torqued during routine vehicle servicing.
CAUTION
Trail Master does not recommend any particular
wheel and tire combinations for use with its sus-
pension lifts and cannot assume responsibility for
the customer’s choice of wheels and tires. Refer
to your owner's manual for recommended tire
sizes and warnings related to the use of over-
sized tires. Larger wheel and tire combinations
increase stress and wear on steering and sus-
pension components, which leads to increased
maintenance and higher risk for component fail-
ure. Larger wheel and tire combinations also al-
ter speedometer calibration, braking effective-
ness, center of gravity, and handling characteris-
tics. Consult an experienced local off road shop
to find what wheel and tire combinations work
best with your vehicle.
