Daystar KG09109 User Manual

IMPORTANT: The net amount of ride height increase de­pends upon the age and use of the vehicle, wheel offset, and
numerous other factors. Stated torsion bar ride height in­creases are based upon factory specifications. If the torsion
bars were “cranked up” at some point in the past, expect a
corresponding reduction in overall height increase with the
new torsion keys. Note that torsion bars, like any other
spring, are subject to fatigue and sagging over time. Also,
torsion bars have different ratings depending on how the vehi­cle was equipped from the factory. In some cases, installing
heavier rated bars (which can be purchased from a dealer)
may be the only solution to regaining ride height lost from
adding heavy aftermarket accessories, such as a winch
bumper or snow plow.

NOTE: Various types of puller tools are available, however, due to the
extreme loads present in four-wheel drive suspension systems, we have
found the two-jaw style tool that clamps to the crossmember tends to slip
and damage the crossmember. A C-clamp style puller tool is preferred
and available through tool companies such as OTC and Kent Moore.

Thank you for choosing Daystar Products

Daystar recommends a certified technician install this system . In
addition to these instruction , professional knowledge of disassem­ble/reassembly procedures as well as post instructions checks must
be known. Attempts to install this system without this knowledge
and expertise may jeopardize the integrity and/or operating of the
vehicle.

Please read all the instructions before beginning the installation.
Check the kit hardware against the parts list. Be sure you have all
the needed parts and understand where they go. If anything is miss­ing , do not proceed with the installation, call Daystar Products to
obtain needed items.

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 large/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 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 products that is altered.

Product Use Information

12. Using the same precautions and procedures that were
used during removal, load the torsion bar enough to in­stall the nut block using the appropriate puller tool.
Place the nut block back in the crossmember and start
the adjuster bolt. Tighten the adjuster bolt to the same
exposed length noted during disassembly. Unload the
remove the pulled tool.

13. Lower the vehicle to the floor, manually bounce the
front of the vehicle several times enough to settle the
suspension.

14. Measure the ride height on each side. To raise the
height, tighten the torsion bar adjuster bolt; to lower ride
height, lessen the adjuster bolt. The torsion key is capa­ble of increasing the ride height 1-1/2” (mid-size) to
2” (full-size) over factory specifications. Do not in­crease ride height above the specification.

15. Realign the vehicle to factory specifications.
