Product Consumer Safety and Warning 

The installation of this kit will  modify the suspension of your vehicle and may  cause it to handle significantly different than a 
factory equipped vehicle. Installing larger tires with modified suspension and increased ground clearance will significantly alter 
the  handling  characteristics  of  the  vehicle,  and  may  result  in  increased  braking  distances  as  well  as  changes  in  vehicle 
maneuverability and handling compared to the factory equipped vehicle. As with any vehicle, extreme caution and care must be 
used  to  prevent  loss  of  control  or  roll-over  during  sharp  turns  or  abrupt  maneuvers.  Always  wear  seat  belts  and  drive  safely, 
recognizing the reduced speeds and specialized driving techniques is required. 

This  suspension  system  will  not  strengthen  nor  reinforce  the  stock  frame  of  the  vehicle,  nor  will  it  increase 

rollover protection.  It is necessary to periodically inspect all suspension and drive train components for tightness of  fit or any 
damage.  Installation  of  these  parts  will  modify  the  height  of  the  vehicle  and  will  raise  the  center  of  gravity.    Altered  height 
modifications  and  off-road  operation  may  increase  your  vehicle’s  susceptibility  to  roll  over  conditions  and  may  cause  serious 
injury  or  death.    Many  states  regulate  the  height  modification  to  each  vehicle.    Check  the  laws  in  your  state  for  exact 
specifications.   Height modifications may affect the reaction, ride, handling, and wear factor of your vehicle’s components.   

Failure to drive this vehicle safely  may result in injury  or death!

 Do  not drive  this  vehicle  unless you  are 

familiar with its unique handling characteristics and are confident of your ability to maintain control under all driving conditions. 
Some  modifications  and  combinations  of  modifications  are  not  recommended,  unsafe,  and  may  not  be permitted  in  your  state.
