For your safety and the safety of others, please read

all instructions and warnings in this pamphlet and your
Jeep® owner’s manual and off road driving supplement
before attempting installation. Within these instructions
the following signal words refer to important product
safety information:

WARNING

Indicates hazards or unsafe situations which could
result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION

Indicates hazards or unsafe situations which could re­sult in property damage or minor to moderate personal
injury.

To reduce risk of serious injury and accident:

 Choose modications that balance your actual

highway & off-road use.

 Avoid sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers or steep

side-cambers.

 Avoid other maneuvering conditions which may

cause the vehicle to trip, roll, lose traction or com­promise your ability to safely brake in an emer­gency.

 Routinely inspect your vehicle components for un-

usual wear or off-road damage. Repair or Replace
any unserviceable components before use.

 Do not modify or combine body lifts with other me-

chanical lifts contrary to manufacturers’ or Jeep®
recommendations & warnings.

 Acquaint any other drivers with your vehicle modi-

cations and handling.

 Always wear seat belts and/or appropriate off-road

restraints, reduce your speed, Tread Lightly©.

NOTICE

Careful attention is required to this operation that gener-

ally does not relate to personal injury, although damage

to your JKS product or other property may result if you
fail to follow instructions.

WARNING

Higher Rollover Risk

Modifying your Jeep® to improve off-road performance
may result in vehicle handling different than as factory
equipped, including increased ride-height and/or chas­sis articulation; reduced lateral stability and higher risk of

roll-over or other accident. Also, owner’s choice of larger

tire and wheel combinations may require additional braking
force or increased stopping distances.

NOTICE

One Side At A Time

Body lift must be installed on one side of vehicle at a time.

Motor Lift Recommended

Installation of JKS Motor Lift in conjunction with B1 Body
Lift is recommended. This will make steps 2, 6 and 7 un­necessary.

at the same time.

 Remove the four bolts holding the plastic fan
