INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
KIT #893
WARNING
Installation of a Performance Accessories
body lift will change the center of gravity and
the handling characteristics of the vehicle.
Because of the higher center of gravity and
larger tires, the vehicle will handle and react
differently both on and off road. You must
drive it safely! Extreme care must be taken to
prevent vehicle rollover or loss of control,
which could result in serious injury or death.
Avoid sudden sharp turns or abrupt
maneuvers and always make sure all vehicle
occupants have their seat belts fastened.
WARNING
Read and understand all instructions,
warnings, cautions, and notes in this sheet
and in your owner's manual before you begin
the installation of this body lift kit.
CAUTION
Proper installation of a Performance
Accessories body lift kit requires knowledge of
the factory recommended procedures for
disassembly an assembly of original
equipment components. It is recommended
that the factory shop manual and any special
tools necessary to your vehicle be on hand
during the installation. Installation of this body
lift kit without proper knowledge of the factory
recommended procedures might affect the
performance of these components and the
safety of your vehicle. It is strongly
recommended that a certified mechanic who is
familiar with the installation of similar
components install this body lift kit.
WARNING
This body lift kit should only be installed on
vehicles that are in good working condition.
Before the installation begins, the vehicle
should be thoroughly inspected for evidence of
corrosion or deformation of the sheet metal
around the factory body mounts. This body lift
kit should not be installed on any vehicle that
is suspected to have been in a collision, or
misused. Off road use of your vehicle with this
body lift installed may increase the stress
applied to the factory body mounts. It is not
recommended that any vehicle, with a body lift
installed, be involved in any extreme off road
maneuvers. Failure to follow this warning may
result in serious personal injury and/or serious
damage to your vehicle.
WARNING
Performance Accessories strongly
discourages the use of a suspension lift kit or
any other lift device in addition to a body lift kit.
A vehicle that uses a combination of lift
devices not originally engineered to be used
together may result in unexpected and unsafe
handling characteristics. Many states now
have laws restricting bumper heights and
vehicle lifts. Local laws should be consulted to
determine if the changes you intend to make
to your vehicle complies with state laws.
WARNING
The installation of larger wheel and tire
combinations may reduce the effectiveness of
the Anti-lock Braking System.
NOTE
Performance Accessories recommends using
the Loctite® supplied in the kit, on all
hardware unless noted in the instructions.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection when operating
power tools.
