PRODUCT DISCLAIMER
The installation of products sold or manufactured by High Lifter Products,
Inc. including, but not limited to suspension components such as lift kits,
gear reduction lifts, frame stiffener kits, snorkels, and tires that exceed
the original specifications for the vehicle, may change the vehicle’s center
of gravity and handling characteristics both on- and off-road. You are aware
that the installation of tires that are larger than original vehicle
specifications may reduce the effectiveness of the braking system. Use of
these products may place added stress to the original factory vehicle
components which could cause them to weaken or possibly fail.
Products sold or manufactured by High Lifter Products, Inc. are intended for
off-road use only. Operation of a vehicle modified with these products on a
road could result in serious bodily injury or death, and such operation may
violate the laws of your state or municipality. You agree to operate your
vehicle exclusively in the manner intended by the vehicle manufacturer. You
agree that failure to safely and reasonably operate your vehicle could result
in serious bodily injury or death, and that, as a result of installation of
this product(s) to your vehicle, extreme care must be taken to prevent vehicle
rollover or loss of control, which may be more likely to occur as a result of
said modifications. You will avoid unsafe maneuvers, including sudden sharp
turns or other abrupt maneuvers, which could make a vehicular accident more
likely. You understand that High Lifter Products, Inc. is not responsible or
liable for any damages or any injuries to yourself or your passengers that
could occur upon possible accidents due to driver error, incorrect
installations, bad judgment, incompatibility with other aftermarket
accessories or natural disasters to the fullest extent allowable by law. You
will have all vehicle occupants fasten seatbelts, if equipped, and wear proper
safety equipment, such as DOT approved helmet and eye protection prior to
operating the vehicle. You understand and acknowledge that failure to wear
proper safety equipment may increase the risk of serious bodily injury or
death to yourself and any passengers.
Proper installation of products sold or manufactured by High Lifter Products,
Inc. requires knowledge of the factory recommended procedures for removal and
installation of original equipment components. Installation of these products
without proper knowledge and experience may affect the performance of these
components and the safety of the vehicle and cause serious bodily injury or
death. It is strongly recommended that a certified mechanic familiar with the
installation of similar components perform the product(s) installation.
Prior to installing any products sold or manufactured by High Lifter Products,
Inc., you will perform or cause to be performed an inspection of their vehicle
to confirm its condition is suitable for the installation of these products. A
proper inspection of the vehicle includes confirmation that the vehicle has
not been in a collision and is free of corrosion. If the vehicle is suspected
to have been in a collision or misused, or is otherwise unsuitable for
modification, you will not install the product(s). You will continue to
inspect the vehicle prior to each use to confirm its condition is suitable for
its intended use, and you acknowledge that the failure to do so may result in
serious bodily injury or death, as well as damage to the vehicle itself.
You will install any warning labels provided with the product so it may be
prominently seen by yourself and all passengers. You will notify all
passengers of the modifications performed to your vehicle prior to operation.
Insurance companies may handle coverage of a modified vehicle differently.
Please check with your insurance carrier prior to modifying the vehicle to
ensure your coverage remains sufficient. Installation of this product(s) may
void your vehicle warranty. If this is a concern, please check with the
manufacturer or dealer before purchase or installation of this product(s).
