Introduction:
♦ This installation requires a professional mechanic!
♦ We recommend that you have access to a factory service manual for your vehicle to
assist in the disassembly and reassembly of your vehicle. It contains a wealth of de-
tailed information.
♦ Prior to installation, carefully inspect the vehicle’s steering and driveline systems
paying close attention to the tie rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearing preload, pitman
and idler arm. Additionally, check steering-to-frame and suspension-to-frame attach-
ing points for stress cracks. The overall vehicle must be in excellent working condi-
tion. Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts!
♦ Read the instructions carefully and study the illustrations before attempting installa-
tion! You may save yourself a lot of extra work.
♦ Check the parts and hardware against the parts list to assure that your kit is complete.
Separating parts according to the areas where they will be used and placing the hard-
ware with the brackets before you begin will save installation time.
♦ Check the special equipment list and ensure the availability of these tools.
♦ Secure and properly block vehicle prior to beginning installation.
♦ ALWAYS wear safety glasses when using power tools or working under the vehicle!
♦ Use caution when cutting is required under the vehicle. The factory undercoating is
flammable. Take appropriate precautions. Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.
♦ Foot pound torque readings are listed on the Torque Specifications chart at the end of
the instructions. These are to be used unless specifically directed otherwise. Apply
thread lock
retaining compound where specified.
♦ Please note that while every effort is made to ensure that the installation of your
Pro Comp lift kit is a positive experience, variations in construction and assem-
bly in the vehicle manufacturing process will virtually ensure that some parts
may seem difficult to install. Additionally, the current trend in manufacturing of
vehicles results in a frame that is highly flexible and may shift slightly on disas-
sembly prior to installation. The use of pry bars and tapered punches for align-
ment is considered normal and usually does not indicate a faulty product. How-
ever, if you are uncertain about some aspect of the installation process, please
feel free to call our tech support department at the number listed on the cover
page. We do not recommend that you modify the Pro Comp parts in any way as
this will void any warranty expressed or implied by the Pro Comp Suspension
company.
