KIT INSTALLATION
As this is a relatively involved installation, we recommend that a qualified mechanic at a properly equipped
facility perform it. We also recommend that the installation be performed on a firm, flat and level surface,
such as seasoned asphalt or concrete. The use of safe and properly maintained equipment is very important!
In order to document any possible irregularities in the factory ride height of your vehicle, please take a few
moments to fill out the Belltech Vehicle Inspection Record included with these instructions. We also
recommend measuring and recording all stock driveline angles prior to installing this kit. This information may
be helpful if vibration problems arise after installation.
