Product Usage Instructions

1. Before installing the lift kit, make sure to park your vehicle on a level concrete or asphalt surface.
2. Measure the front and rear (both sides) from the ground up to the center of the fender opening above the axle using a measuring tape. Record this information for future reference.
3. Refer to the required tools list to ensure you have all the necessary tools for the installation.
4. Open the component box breakdown and identify the parts specific to your Jeep model (TJ or LJ) and the desired shock absorber type (ADX 2.0 Remote Reservoir, Black Max Shock with Black Boot, Hydro Shock with Red Boot, M95 Monotube Shock, or Nitro Shock with Red Boot).
5. Follow the installation instructions provided on the website www.skyjacker.com to install the lift kit components.
6. Ensure that all components are securely installed and tightened according to the specified torque values.
7. After installation, re-measure the front and rear (both sides) from the ground up to the center of the fender opening above the axle and compare the measurements with the recorded values from step 2.
8. Check for any computer errors, odd handling characteristics, or poor performance. If any issues arise, double-check the installation and consult the troubleshooting section of the user manual or contact customer support.

It is important to follow the installation instructions carefully to ensure proper installation and optimal performance of the lift kit.

Important Notes:

• The Drag Link Must Be Adjusted to Center the Steering Wheel Before the Vehicle Is Driven. Failure to Do So Will Cause Computer Errors, Odd Handling Characteristics, & Poor Performance.
• If Larger Tires (10% More Than the OEM Diameter) Are Installed, Speedometer Recalibration Will Be Necessary. Contact Your Local JEEP Dealer or an Authorized Skyjacker® Dealer for Details.
• After Installation, a Qualified Alignment Facility Is Required to Align the Vehicle to the OEM Specifications.

Final Clearance Check & Torque Steps:
Notes: Check Front Center Axle Disconnect (CAD) connection & on RUBICON Models: Check Front & Rear locker connections.
The Drag Link Must Be Adjusted to Center the Steering Wheel Before the Vehicle Is Driven. Failure to Do So Will Cause Computer Errors, Odd Handling Characteristics, & Poor Performance.

• Start vehicle. Make sure there are no dash lights pertaining to suspension.

• Jounce vehicle a couple of times. This will help suspension settle to new ride height. Cycle steering lock-to-lock & check all components for proper operation & clearances. Pay special attention to clearance between tires \ wheels, ADX Shocks & Reservoirs, control arms, brake hoses, ABS wiring, etc.
  Rotate the drive shafts & check for interference at the differential yoke & Cardan joint. If necessary, lightly dress the casting(s) and \ or u-joint tabs in order to eliminate binding.

• Front Tighten & Torque Sequence.
  Track bar at axle mount using a 15mm socket \ wrench or a T55 Torx head bit.

  • 1997-2002 Models Torque 55 ft-lbs. • 2003-2006 Models Torque 40 ft-lbs.

• Driveline vibrations can be caused from the removal or addition of a hardtop which changes the vehicle’s rear weight & rear height. The weight affects the rear drive shaft pinion angle. Skyjacker’s adjustable eccentric upper cam-bolt kit (Part # CAM500) will eliminate such vibrations by adjusting \ rotating the rear pinion angle up or down as needed.
  If already purchased, install eccentric upper cam-bolt kit using the steps below.

Cam Bolt Installation:

• Use Skyjacker # CAM500 Eccentric Cam Bolts for Rear Upper Control Arms at OEM axle mount brackets. Perform Steps on One Side at a Time. Disconnect rear OEM upper control Photo # 33  arm from OEM rear axle mount using a 15mm socket \ wrench.
  Note: Only Disconnect One (1) Side at a Time.
  The OEM control arm axle mount brackets have ‘knockout’ alignment inserts. Use inserts as a guide & cut a slotted rectangular hole. Using a Sawzall, Dremel or other small cutting device, cut out a notch on each side of rear upper OEM axle mount bracket. (See Photo # 33) Connect OEM rear upper control arm to modified OEM rear axle mount using Skyjacker Eccentric Cam Bolt, Eccentric Washer & Nut using a 15mm & a 17mm socket \ wrench. (See Photo # 34)
  

• With vehicle on ground & weight of vehicle on tires \ wheels, tighten front & rear eccentric cam bolts using a 15mm & a 17mm socket \ wrench. Note: These bolts can be rotated to adjust the axle pinion angle to eliminate any driveline vibration.

Final Notes:

• After installation is complete, double check that all nuts & bolts are tight. Refer to the following chart for proper torque specifications. (Note: Do not re-tighten nuts & bolts where thread lock compound was used.)
• With vehicle placed on ground, cycle steering lock to lock & inspect steering, suspension, brake lines, front & rear drivelines, fuel lines & wiring harnesses for proper operation, tightness & adequate clearance.
• Have headlights readjusted to proper settings.
• Have a qualified alignment center align vehicle to OEM specifications.
• After first 100 miles, check all hardware for proper torque & periodically thereafter.
