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 large/ heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving, Also , speedometer recalibration is necessary when larger tires are installed.

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.
