WARNING

Many states and municipalities have laws restricting bumper

heights and vehicle lifts. Consult state and local laws to determine

if the changes you intend to make to the vehicle comply with the

law.

WARNING

The installation of larger tires may reduce the effectiveness of the

braking system.

WARNING

Always wear eye protection when operating power tools.

WARNING

Before you install this kit, block the vehicle tires to prevent the

vehicle from rolling.

WARNING

DO NOT combine suspension, body, or other lift devices. Use of

vehicle with combined lifts may result in unsafe and/or unexpected

handling characteristics.

NOTE

Lift height may vary depending on vehicle configuration, engine

size, additional accessories, the factory suspension package, and

vehicle’s condition.

NOTE

Trail Master recommends using thread locking compound on the

threads of all kit nuts and bolts unless specified otherwise in these

instructions.

WARNING

Installation of a Trail Master suspension lift kit will change the

vehicle’s center of gravity and handling characteristics both on-

and off-road. You must drive the vehicle safely! Extreme care

must be taken to prevent vehicle rollover or loss of control, which

could result in serious injury or death. Avoid sudden sharp turns

or abrupt maneuvers and always make sure all vehicle occupants

have their seat belts fastened.

WARNING

Before you install this kit, read and understand all instructions,

warnings, cautions, and notes in this instruction sheet and in the

vehicle owner’s manual.

CAUTION

Proper installation of this kit requires knowledge of the factory

recommended procedures for removal and installation of original

equipment components. We recommend that the factory shop

manual and any special tools needed to service your vehicle be

on hand during the installation. Installation of this kit without

proper knowledge of the factory recommended procedures may

affect the performance of these components and the safety of the

vehicle. We strongly recommend that a certified mechanic familiar

with the installation of similar components install this kit.

WARNING

This kit should only be installed on a vehicle that is in good work-

ing condition. Before you install the kit, thoroughly inspect the

vehicle for corrosion or deformation of the sheet metal. If the vehi-

cle is suspected to have been in a collision or misused, do not

install this kit. Off-road use of your vehicle with this kit installed

may increase the stress applied to the factory components. Fail-

ure to observe this warning may result in serious personal injury

and/or severe damage to your vehicle.

TM411N, TM412N, TM413N, TM414N Revised 7.11.13 Notice to Owner Operator, Dealer and Installer: Vehicles that have been enhanced for off-road performance often have unique handling characteristics due to the higher center of gravity and larger tires. This vehicle may handle, react and stop differently than many passenger cars or unmodified vehicles, both on and off–road.
