Safety Warning 

 

MISUSE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH. 

 

Suspension systems or components that enhance the on and off-road performance of your vehicle may cause 
it to handle differently than it did from the factory. Extreme care must be used to prevent loss of control or 
vehicle rollover during abrupt maneuvers.  

 

Always operate your vehicle at reduced speeds to ensure your ability to control your vehicle under all driving 
conditions. Failure to drive safely may result in serious injury or death to driver and passengers.  

 

Driver and passengers must ALWAYS wear your seat belts, avoid quick sharp turns and other sudden maneu-
vers. ReadyLIFT Suspension does not recommend the combined use of suspension lifts, body lifts, or other 
lifting devices.  

 

You should never operate your vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  

 

Constant maintenance is required to keep your vehicle safe. Thoroughly inspect your vehicle before and after 
every off-road use.  

 

It is the responsibility of the retailer and/or the installer to review all state and local laws, with the end user 
of this product, related to bumper height laws and the lifting of their vehicle before the purchase and installa-
tion of any ReadyLIFT products.  

 

It is the responsibility of the driver/s to check their surrounding area for obstructions, people, and animals 
before moving the vehicle.  

 

All raised vehicles have increased blind spots; damage, injury and/or death can occur if these instructions are 
not followed. 

Installation Warning 

 

All steps and procedures described in these instructions were performed while the vehicle was properly sup-
ported on a two post vehicle lift with safety jacks.  

 

Use caution during all disassembly and assembly steps to insure suspension components are not over extend-
ed causing damage to any vehicle components and parts included in this kit.  

 

Included instructions are guidelines only for recommended procedures and are not meant to be definitive. 
Installer is responsible to insure a safe and controllable vehicle after performing modifications. 

 

ReadyLIFT Suspension recommends the use of an OE Service Manual for model/year of vehicle when disas-
sembly and assembly of factory and related components.  

 

Unless otherwise specified, tighten all bolts and fasteners to standard torque specifications listed within the 
OE Service Manual. 

 

Suspension components that use rubber or urethane bushings should be tightened with the vehicle at normal 
ride height. This will prevent premature wear or failure of the bushing and maintain ride comfort.  

 

Larger tire and wheel combinations may increase leverage on suspension, steering, and related components.  

 

Due to payload options and initial ride height variances, the amount of lift is a base figure. Final ride height 
dimensions may vary in accordance to original vehicle ride height. Always measure the vehicle ride height 
prior to beginning installation.
