WARNING
READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
INSTALLATION BY A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
READYLIFT® IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR FAILURE RESULTING FROM
IMPROPER INSTALLATION.
Safety Warning
MISUSE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH.
Suspension systems or components that enhance the on and off-road performance
of your vehicle may cause it to handle differently than it did from the
factory. Extreme care must be used to prevent loss of control or vehicle
rollover during abrupt maneuvers.
Always operate your vehicle at reduced speeds to ensure your ability to
control your vehicle under all driving conditions. 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. ReadyLIFT Suspension does not recommend the
combined use of suspension lifts, body lifts, or other lifting devices.
You should never operate your vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Constant maintenance is required to keep your vehicle safe. Thoroughly inspect
your vehicle before and after every off-road use.
It is the responsibility of the retailer and/or the installer to review all
state and local laws, with the end user of this product, related to bumper
height laws and the lifting of their vehicle before the purchase and
installation of any ReadyLIFT products.
It is the responsibility of the driver/s to check their surrounding area for
obstructions, people, and animals before moving the vehicle.
All raised vehicles have increased blind spots; damage, injury and/or death
can occur if these instructions are not followed.
Installation Warning
All steps and procedures described in these instructions were performed while
the vehicle was properly supported on a two post vehicle lift with safety
jacks.
Use caution during all disassembly and assembly steps to insure suspension
components are not over extended causing damage to any vehicle components and
parts included in this kit. Included instructions are guidelines only for
recommended procedures and are not meant to be definitive. Installer is
responsible to insure a safe and controllable vehicle after performing
modifications.
ReadyLIFT Suspension recommends the use of an OE Service Manual for model/year
of vehicle when disassembly and assembly of factory and related components.
Unless otherwise specified, tighten all bolts and fasteners to standard torque
specifications listed within the OE Service Manual.
Suspension components that use rubber or urethane bushings should be tightened
with the vehicle at normal ride height. This will prevent premature wear or
failure of the bushing and maintain ride comfort.
Larger tire and wheel combinations may increase leverage on suspension,
steering, and related components.
Due to payload options and initial ride height variances, the amount of lift
is a base figure. Final ride height dimensions may vary in accordance to
original vehicle ride height. Always measure the vehicle ride height prior to
beginning installation.

Final Checks & Adjustments
Once the vehicle is lowered to the ground, check all parts which have rubber
or urethane components to ensure proper torque. Torque lug nuts to the wheel
manufacturer specs.
Move vehicle backwards and forwards a short distance to allow suspension
components to adjust. Turn the front wheels completely left then right and
verify adequate tire, wheel, brake line, and ABS wire clearance. Test and
inspect steering, brake and suspension components for tightness and proper
operation. Inspect brakes hoses and ABS lines for adequate slack at full
extension, adjust as necessary.
RECHECK ALL HARDWARE FOR PROPER TORQUE VALUES AFTER 500 MILES, AND THEN
PERIODICALLY AT EACH SERVICE INTERVAL THERAFTER.
Vehicle Handling Warning
Increasing the height of your vehicle raises the center of gravity and can
affect stability and control. Use caution on turns and when making steering
corrections.
Vehicles with larger tires and wheels will handle differently than stock
vehicles. Take time to familiarize yourself with the handling of your vehicle.
Wheel Alignment/Headlamp Adjustment
It is necessary to have a proper and professional wheel alignment performed by
a certified alignment technician. Align the vehicle to factory specifications.
It is recommended that your vehicle alignment be checked after any off-road
driving.
In addition to your vehicle alignment, for your safety and others, it is
necessary to check and adjust your vehicle headlamps for proper aim and
alignment. If the vehicle is equipped with active or passive safety/collision
monitoring and/or avoidance systems including, but not limited to, camera- or
radar-based systems, check and adjust your vehicle’s systems for proper aim
and function.
