- If you are the installer only, and not the owner of the vehicle, please make

sure the owner of the vehicle gets these instructions. They contain very 

important information about the lift kit, maintainace, and warranty.

- Before moving forward with installation, please layout all parts from boxes 

and ensure everything is present. If any parts are missing, please contact 

McGaughy’s Suspension immediately at 559-226-8196.

- If you alter the finish of any of the provided components, like zinc plating, 

chroming, or powder-coating, which can cause damage to the strength and 

structure of the metal, any warranties will be null and void.

- If any components are ground on or modified in any way, then no returns or 

exchages will be accepted and any warranties will be null and void.

- NO welding is required to install any part of this lift kit. Do not weld any 

components.

- Over-sized tires and heavier wheels can cause premature wear on factory 

and aftermarket components like ball joints, bushings, tie-rod ends, wheel

bearings, idler arms, drive-lines, etc.... You may need to replace / install new

components sooner than factory recommendations based on the tires and 

wheels you choose. Please note that the heavier and wider wheels and tires

combined with aggressive driving (off-road and on highways) will cause more

wear on ALL moving parts, factory and aftermarket. Especially when vehicle is

in 4wd or Auto-4wd / AWD modes.

- Spindles and u-bolts are shipped with protective coating on surface. This 

allows them to be delivered to you without rust. We recommend you clean 

and paint the parts before you install, to protect against any future rust. 

Remember, spindles and u-bolts are bare metal. And will rust without paint.

READ THESE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS
