BODY LIFT KIT

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1992-1996                        2” KIT #842

1992-1996                       3” KIT #843

 WARNING

Installation of a Performance Automotive Group body

lift kit will change the vehicle’s center of gravity and

handling characteristics both on- and off-road. You

must drive the vehicle safely! Extreme care must be

taken to prevent vehicle rollover or loss of control,

which could result in serious injury or death. Avoid sud-

den sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers and always make

sure all vehicle occupants have their seat belts fas-

tened.

 WARNING

Before you install this kit, read and understand all

instructions, warnings, cautions, and notes in this

instruction sheet and in the vehicle owner’s manual.

 CAUTION

Proper installation of this kit requires knowledge of the

factory recommended procedures for removal and

installation of original equipment components. We rec-

ommend that the factory shop manual and any special

tools needed to service your vehicle be on hand during

the installation. Installation of this kit without proper

knowledge of the factory recommended procedures

may affect the performance of these components and

the safety of the vehicle. We strongly recommend that

a certified mechanic familiar with the installation of sim-

ilar components install this kit.

 WARNING

This kit should only be installed on a vehicle that is in

good working condition. Before you install the kit, thor-

oughly inspect the vehicle for corrosion or deformation

of the sheet metal around the factory body mounts. If

the vehicle is suspected to have been in a collision or

misused, do not install this kit. Off-road use of your

vehicle with this kit installed may increase the stress

applied to the factory body mounts. We do not recom-

mend that any vehicle with a body lift kit installed be

involved in any extreme off-road maneuvers such as

jumping. Failure to observe this warning may result in

serious personal injury and/or severe damage to your

vehicle.

 WARNING

Many states and municipalities have laws restricting

bumper heights and vehicle lifts. Consult state and

local laws to determine if the changes you intend to

make to the vehicle comply with the law. Before com-

bining a body lift with a suspension lift, consult an

installation professional to see how this will affect the

vehicle.

 WARNING

The installation of larger tires may reduce the effective-

ness of the Braking System.

 WARNING

Always wear eye protection when operating power

tools.

 WARNING

Before you install this kit, block the vehicle tires to pre-

vent the vehicle from rolling.

 WARNING

Accidental deployment of the air bag can result in seri-

ous personal injury or death. To avoid accidental

deployment during installation of the kit, the Supple-

mental Restraint System (SRS, or airbag) must remain

deactivated. Do not allow anyone near the airbag dur-

ing installation. Refer to the factory service manual or

owner's manual for the recommended procedure to

disable the SRS. After you install the kit, reactivate the

SRS before driving the vehicle.

 NOTE

Performance Automotive Group recommends using

the Loctite® supplied in the kit on the threads of all kit

nuts and bolts unless specified otherwise in these

instructions.
