Product Use Information
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is the easier it will roll. We strongly recommend, because of rollover possibility, that seat belts and shoulder harness be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur.
Braking performance and capabilities are decreased when significantly larger/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving, Also, speedometer recalibration is necessary when larger tires are installed.
Do no add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts which increase vehicle height over the intended height of the Daystar Product purchased. Mixing component brands, lifts, and/or combining body lift with a suspension lift voids all warranties. Daystar makes no claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any and all implied claims. We will not be responsible for any product that is altered.

The decal is to act as a constant reminder for whoever is operating the vehicle of its unique han­dling characteristics. INSTALLING DEALER— It is your responsibility to install the warning decal and forward these instructions on to the vehi­cle owner for review and to be kept in the vehicle for service life.
