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 spacers. Rest assured, installing the spacer

supplied will result in the proper amount of lift out at the

wheel.

NOTE

DayStar recommends that you have your wheel alignment checked.

CAUTION

DayStar does not recommend any particular wheel and tire combinations for use with its body 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 oversized tires. Larger wheel and tire combinations in- crease stress and wear on steering and suspen- sion 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.

Retorque all fasteners after 500 miles and after off road use. All body lift components should be visually inspected and fasteners retorqued dur- ing routine vehicle servicing.
