READ THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLATION
Check all parts to the parts list above before beginning installation. If any
parts are missing contact Fabtech at
909-597-7800 and a replacement part
will be sent to you immediately.
Read all instructions thoroughly from start to finish before beginning the
installation. If these instructions are not properly followed severe frame,
driveline, and/or suspension damage may occur.
Check your local city and state laws prior to the installation of this system
for legality. Do not install if not legal in your area.
Prior to the installation of this suspension system perform a front-end
alignment and record. Do not install this system if the vehicle alignment is
not within factory specifications. Check for frame and suspension damage prior
to installation.
The installation of this suspension system should be performed by two
professional mechanics.
This suspension must be installed with Fabtech shock absorbers.
Installation of all fasteners requires the use of provided thread locking
compound with proper torque values as indicated throughout the installation.
Apply thread locking compound upon the final torque of the fastener.
WARNING- Installation of this system will alter the center of gravity of
the vehicle and may increase rollover as compared to stock.
Vehicles that receive oversized tires should check ball joints, uni balls, tie
rod ends, pitman’s arm, and idler arm every 25005000 miles for wear and
replacement as needed.
Verify differential fluid is at the manufactures recommended level prior to
kit installation. Installation of the kit will reposition the differential and
the fill plug hole may be in a different position. (For example, if the
manufacturer recommends 3 quarts of fluid, make sure the diff has 3 quarts of
fluid). Check your specific manual for the correct amount of fluid.

– Product Warranty and Warnings –
Fabtech provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty to the original retail purchaser
who owns the vehicle, on which the product was originally installed, for
defects in workmanship and materials.
The Limited Lifetime Warranty excludes the following Fabtech items; bushings,
bump stops, ball joints, tie rod ends, limiting straps, cross shafts, Heim
joints, and driveshafts. These parts are subject to wear and are not
considered defective when worn. They are warranted for 60 days from the date
of purchase for defects in workmanship.
Dirt Logic and Performance Coilover take-apart shocks are considered
serviceable shocks with a one-year warranty on leakage only. Service seal kits
are available separately for future maintenance. All other shocks are covered
under our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Fabtech does not warrant any product for finish, alterations, modifications,
and/or installation contrary to Fabtech’s instructions. Alterations to the
finish of the parts including but not limited to painting, powder coating,
plating, and/or welding will void all warranties. Some finish damage may occur
to parts during shipping, which is considered normal and is not covered under
warranty.
Fabtech products are not designed nor intended to be installed on vehicles
used in race applications or for racing purposes or similar activities. (A
“RACE” is defined as any contest between two or more vehicles, or any contest
of one or more vehicles against the clock, whether or not such contest is for
a prize). This warranty does not include coverage for police or taxi vehicles,
race vehicles, or vehicles used for government or commercial purposes. Also
excluded from this warranty are sales outside of the United States of America.
Installation of most suspension products will raise the center of gravity of
the vehicle and will cause the vehicle to handle differently than stock. It
may increase the vehicle’s susceptibility to a rollover, on-road and off-road,
at all speeds. Extreme care should be taken to operate the vehicle safely at
all times to prevent rollover or loss of control resulting in serious injury
or death. Fabtech front-end Desert Guards may impair the deployment or
operation of vehicles equipped with supplemental restraining systems/air bag
systems and should not be installed if the vehicle is equipped as so.
Fabtech makes every effort to ensure the suspension product compatibility with
all vehicles listed on the website, but due to unknown auto manufacturer’s
production changes and/or inconstancies by the auto manufacturer, Fabtech
cannot be responsible for 100% compatibility, including the fitment of tire
and wheel sizes listed. The Tire and Wheel sizes listed in Fabtech’s website
are only a guideline for street driving with noted fender trimming. Fabtech is
not responsible for damages to the vehicle’s body or tires. Fabtech is not
responsible for premature wear of factory components due to the installation
of oversized tires and wheels.
Fabtech’s obligation under this warranty is limited to the repair or
replacement, at the Fabtech option, of the defective product only. All costs
of removal, installation or re-installation, freight charges, and incidental
or consequential damages are expressly excluded from this warranty. Fabtech is
not responsible for damages and/or warranty of other vehicle parts related or
nonrelated to the installed Fabtech product. This warranty is expressly in
lieu of all other warranties expressed or implied. This warranty shall not
apply to any product that has been subject to accident, negligence,
alteration, abuse or misuse as determined by Fabtech.
Fabtech suspension components must be installed as a complete system including
shocks as shown on our website. All warranties will become void if Fabtech
parts are combined and/or substituted with other aftermarket suspension
products. Combination and/or substitution of other aftermarket suspension
parts may cause premature wear and/or product failure resulting in an accident
causing injury or death. Fabtech does not warrant products not manufactured by
Fabtech.
Depending on the condition of the factory suspension components retained after
the installation of a Fabtech suspension not all vehicles may have the same
ride stance front to rear as described in the website. The blue color of
suspension components shown in all Fabtech photographs are for display
purposes only. The majority of all Fabtech components will be black
specifically where noted with part numbers ending in BK.
Installation of Fabtech products may void the vehicle’s factory warranty; it
is the consumer’s responsibility to check with their local vehicle’s dealer
for warranty disposition before the installation of the product. Some state
laws may prohibit the modification of suspension to a vehicle in whole or in
part. It is the responsibility of the installer and consumer to consult local
laws prior to the installation of any Fabtech suspension product to comply
with such written laws.
It is the responsibility of the distributor and/or the retailer to review all
warranties and warnings of Fabtech products with the consumer prior to
purchase.
Fabtech reserves the right to super cede, discontinue, change the design,
finish, part number and/or application of parts when deemed necessary without
written notice. Fabtech is not responsible for misprints or typographical
errors within the website or price sheet. For the most recent Product Warranty
