3” BODY LIFT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2005-2006 KIT# 5613
WARNING
Installation of a Performance Automotive Group body
lift kit will change the vehicle’s center of gravity and
handling characteristics both on- and off-road. You
must drive the vehicle safely! Extreme care must be
taken to prevent vehicle rollover or loss of control,
which could result in serious injury or death. Avoid sudden sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers and always make
sure all vehicle occupants have their seat belts fastened.
WARNING
Before you install this kit, read and understand all
instructions, warnings, cautions, and notes in this
instruction sheet and in the vehicle owner’s manual.
CAUTION
Proper installation of this kit requires knowledge of the
factory recommended procedures for removal and
installation of original equipment components. We recommend that the factory shop manual and any special
tools needed to service your vehicle be on hand during
the installation. Installation of this kit without proper
knowledge of the factory recommended procedures
may affect the performance of these components and
the safety of the vehicle. We strongly recommend that
a certified mechanic familiar with the installation of similar components install this kit.
WARNING
DO NOT combine suspension, body, or other lift
devices. Use of vehicle with combined lifts may result
in unsafe and/or unexpected handling characteristics.
WARNING
This kit should only be installed on a vehicle that is in
good working condition. Before you install the kit, thoroughly inspect the vehicle for corrosion or deformation
of the sheet metal around the factory body mounts. If
the vehicle is suspected to have been in a collision or
misused, do not install this kit. Off-road use of your
vehicle with this kit installed may increase the stress
applied to the factory body mounts. We do not recommend that any vehicle with a body lift kit installed be
involved in any extreme off-road maneuvers such as
jumping. Failure to observe this warning may result in
serious personal injury and/or severe damage to your
vehicle.
WARNING
Many states and municipalities have laws restricting
bumper heights and vehicle lifts. Consult state and
local laws to determine if the changes you intend to
make to the vehicle comply with the law.
WARNING
The installation of larger tires may reduce the effectiveness of the braking system.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection when operating power
tools.
WARNING
Before you install this kit, block the vehicle tires to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
WARNING
Accidental deployment of the air bag can result in serious personal injury or death. To avoid accidental
deployment during installation of the kit, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS, or airbag) must remain
deactivated. Do not allow anyone near the airbag during installation. Refer to the factory service manual or
owner's manual for the recommended procedure to
disable the SRS. After you install the kit, reactivate the
SRS before driving the vehicle.
NOTE
Performance Automotive Group recommends using
the Loctite® supplied in the kit on the threads of all kit
nuts and bolts unless specified otherwise in these
instructions.

WARNING
Retorque all fasteners after 500 miles and after off road
use. All body lift components should be visually
inspected and fasteners retorqued during routine vehicle servicing.
CAUTION
Performance Automotive Group does not recommend
any particular wheel and tire combinations for use with
its body lifts and cannot assume responsibility for the
customer’s choice of wheels and tires. Refer to your
owner's manual for recommended tire sizes and warnings related to the use of oversized tires. Larger wheel
and tire combinations increase stress and wear on
steering and suspension components, which leads to
increased maintenance and higher risk for component
failure. Larger wheel and tire combinations also alter
speedometer calibration, braking effectiveness, center
of gravity, and handling characteristics. Consult an
experienced local off road shop to find what wheel and
tire combinations work best with your vehicle.
NOTE
All warranty information, instruction sheets, and other
documents regarding the installation of this product
must be retained by the vehicle owner
contained in the instructions and on the warranty card
will be required for any warranty claims. The vehicle
owner needs to understand the modifications ma de to
the vehicle and how they affect vehicle handling and
performance. Failure to provide the customer with this
information can result in damage to the vehicle and
severe personal injury.
