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.
This suspension and shocks have been designed to be installed on a stock
vehicle.
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.
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 roll over as compared to stock. 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.
Vehicles that receive oversized tires should check ball joints, uniballs, tie
rods ends, pitman arm and idler arm every 2500- 5000 miles for wear and
replace as needed.
Verify differential fluid is at 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
manufacture recommends 3 quarts of fluid, make sure the diff has 3 quarts of
fluid). Check your specific manual for correct amount of fluid.
Read all warnings and warranties on the last page of these instructions before
starting installation.

– Product Warranty & 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, Uniball bearings, 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 take apart shocks are considered a serviceable shock with a 1-year
warranty against any manufacturer’s defects. If a shock fails within the
initial year of ownership, the owner must ship the shock to Fabtech for
inspection and service. If after examination the shock is determined to have
failed due to neglect, damage caused by improper installation, or any reason
other than “normal wear and tear,” the owner of the shock will be responsible
for all service costs. Costs include labor, parts, and shipping. 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 for similar activities.
This warranty does not include coverage for police, taxi, first responder
vehicles, race vehicles, or vehicles used for government, commercial or fleet
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.
Oversized tires and wheels may decrease the vehicle’s braking capacity.
Drivers should always brake early and be aware of the increased the stopping
distance of the vehicle. Drivers should adjust their driving habits to the
effectiveness of the braking. Adjust your driving habits to these changes.
Failure to drive safely may result in serious injury or death to driver and
passengers. Driver and passengers must ALWAYS wear your seat belts, avoid
quick sharp turns and other sudden maneuvers
