Before beginning the installation, read these instructions and the enclosed driver's WARNING
NOTICE thoroughly and completely. Also affix the WARNING decal in passenger compartment in
clear view of all occupants. If any of these items are missing from this instruction packet, do not pro-
ceed with installation, but call SKYJACKER ® to obtain needed items. If you have any questions or
reservations about installing this lift kit, call SKYJACKER ® at 318-388-0816 for Technical Assistance

Make sure you park the vehicle on a level concrete or asphalt surface. Many times a vehicle is
uneven (side-to-side) from the factory, but usually not noticed until a lift kit has been installed which
makes the difference more visible. Using a measuring tape, measure the front and rear (both sides)
from the ground up to the center of the fender opening above the axle. Record below for future ref-
erence.
