Installation Instructions

!Warning: Always work with appropriate personal safety
gear including safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection if
using air powered tools.

Begin by inspecting the components & hardware for dam­age. Then compare components & hardware to the bill of materi­als for completeness. If anything is missing/damaged, do not pro­ceed with the installation. Please, call Daystar Products (800-595-

7659) and we will send you the missing of damaged components
free of charge.

!Caution: Vehicle front end must be raised to install leveling
kit. Using a hydraulic chassis lift will greatly ease installation.
If another jack is used, assure vehicle is level on a firm sur­face, in park (1st gear), rear wheels blocked and jack stands

1. Check to see that the spacer kit you purchased matches the year
and model of your vehicle. Spacer kits two inches or taller may
require a spring compressor to install. Ball joint and tie rod
forks may also be useful.

2. A good portion of your front suspension will be disassembled
so this would be a good time to replace any worn parts (i.e. tie
rod ends, ball joints, idler arm and any bushings) Replace bush­ings with polyurethane replacement parts.
