WARNING

This vehicle has been modified to enhance its performance. The steering, braking and handling of this vehicle will differ from standard passenger cars and trucks; this vehicle handles differently from an ordinary vehicle in driving conditions which may occur on streets, highways and off road.

Avoid unnecessary abrupt maneuvers, sudden stops, sharp turns and other driving conditions that could cause loss of control, possibly leading to a roll over or other accident that could result in serious injury or death to driver and passengers.

If larger tires are installed the speedometer will read lower than the vehicles actual speed.

DRIVE WITH CARE, REDUCE SPEED

AND WEAR SEAT BELTS AT ALL TIMES.

This kit should be installed by a professional mechanic.
