RECORD HEAD LAMP MEASURMENTS

 

Pre Installation Measurements

 

It is imperative that you record the following measurements and factory components. 

ReadyLIFT test and records as much data from each application as possible. Vehicle 

manufactures may change components or add models with different options. By re-

cording and not exceeding the fender to hub center that ReadyLIFT call out will en-

sure the lift on your vehicle is correct. This measurements and components will effect 

the completion of this lift kit. Failure to do so may result in over lifting, causing prem-

ature failure of axles, CV boots and drivetrain. Over lifting a vehicle will also result in 

a incorrect wheel alignment. This will wear tires incorrectly inside or outside edge. An 

Incorrect alignment will cause poor vehicle handling issue such as under steer. Over 

lifting will also cause a shock top off condition, creating poor ride quality and pops 

and clunks prematurely wearing components. Failure to adjust head lamps may cause 

dangerous driving conditions for you and other drivers on the road. Record the head 

lamp position before the installation of this lift or leveling kit and adjusting to factory 

position after the completion will ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
