engine compartment for anything that looks
unusual. If the radiator was removed earlier
remove the radiator cap so the radiator can be
refilled once the vehicle has reached normal
operating temperature. Start the vehicle.

to the left and all the way to the right. Be sure
that there is no binding. Check the clutch
operation. Check the manual transmission
shift lever operation. Be sure that it engages in
all gears. Check the automatic transmission

CAUTION
Performance Accessories does not
recommend any particular wheel and tire
combinations for use with its body lifts and can
not assume responsibility for the customers
choice of wheels and tires. Your owner's
manual can be referenced for recommended
tire sizes and warnings related to the use of
oversized tires. Larger wheel and tire
combinations increase stress and wear on
steering and suspension components, which
leads to increased maintenance and higher
risk for component failure. Larger wheel and
tire combinations also alter speedometer
calibration, braking effectiveness, center of
gravity, and handling characteristics. Consult
with an experienced local off road shop to find
what wheel and tire combinations work best
with your vehicle.
