1999 FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCK  
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.
