♦ This installation requires a professional mechanic!

♦ We recommend that you have access to a GM service manual for your vehicle to assist in the disas-

sembly and reassembly of your vehicle. It contains a wealth of detailed information.

♦ Ensure that your work space is of adequate size and the work surface is level. Place the vehicle in

neutral. Place your floor jack under the front cross member and raise vehicle. Place jack stands un-

der the frame rails behind the front wheel wells and lower the frame onto the stands. Remove the

jack and place the vehicle back in gear, set the emergency brake, and place blocks both in front and

behind the rear wheels.

♦ Prior to installation, carefully inspect the vehicle’s steering and driveline systems paying close at-

tention to the tie rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearing preload, pitman and idler arm. Additionally,

check steering-to-frame and suspension-to-frame attaching points for stress cracks. The overall ve-

hicle must be in excellent working condition. Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts!

♦ Read the instructions carefully and study the illustrations before attempting installation! 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 hardware with the brackets be-

fore 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 instruc-

tions. These are to be used unless specifically directed otherwise. Apply thread lock retaining com-

pound 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 assembly in the vehicle manufacturing

process will virtually ensure that some parts may seem difficult to install. Additionally, the cur-

rent trend in manufacturing of vehicles results in a frame that is highly flexible and may shift

slightly on disassembly 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. However, 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.

♦ This instruction packet contains valuable warranty information and should be kept in the vehicle as

a permanent record.

♦ If you are up grading from an existing Pro Comp kit you will need to get a new factory center link

from the dealer. It is install with the nut of the tie rod end to the front of the vehicle. As it was in-

stalled from the factory.
