Introduction:
 This installation requires a professional mechanic!  We recommend that you have access to a factory service manual for your vehicle to assist in the disassembly and
reassembly of your vehicle. It contains a wealth of detailed information.
 Prior to installation, carefully inspect the vehicle’s steering and driveline systems paying close attention to the tie
rod ends, wheel bearing preload, pitman and idler arm. Additionally, check steering-to-frame and suspension-to­frame attaching points for stress cracks. The overall vehicle must be in excellent working condition. Repair or re­place all worn or damaged parts!
 Read the instructions carefully and study the illustrations before attempting installation! You may save yourself a lot
of extra work.
 Check the parts and hardware against the parts list to assure that your kit is complete. Separating parts according
to the areas where they will be used and placing the hardware with the brackets before you begin will save installa­tion time.
 Check the special equipment list and ensure the availability of these tools.  Secure and properly block vehicle prior to beginning installation.  ALWAYS  Use caution when cutting is required under the vehicle. The factory undercoating is flammable. Take appropriate
precautions. Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.
 Foot pound torque readings are listed on the Torque Specifications chart at the end of the instructions. These are to
be used unless specifically directed otherwise. Apply thread lock compound where specified.
Please note that while every effort is made to ensure that the installation of your Pro Comp lift kit

is a positive experience, variations in construction and assembly in the vehicle manufacturing process will virtually ensure that some parts may seem difficult to install. Additionally, the cur­rent trend in manufacturing of vehicles results in a frame that is highly flexible and may shift slightly on disassembly prior to installation. The use of pry bars and tapered punches for align­ment is considered normal and usually does not indicate a faulty product. However, if you are un­certain about some aspect of the installation process, please feel free to call our tech support de­partment at the number listed on the cover page. We do not recommend that you modify the Pro Comp parts in any way as this will void any warranty expressed or implied by the Pro Comp Sus­pension company.
 Disconnect the negative battery cable when working on the vehicle.
wear safety glasses when using power tools or working under the vehicle!
 Front end and head light realignment is necessary!  Speedometer and ABS recalibration will be necessary if larger tires (10% more than stock diameter) are installed.
Tire and wheel choice is crucial in assuring proper fit, performance, and the safety of your Pro Comp equipped vehicle. For this application, a wheel not to exceed 10” in width with a minimum backspacing of 3.25” must be used. Additionally, a quality tire of radial design, not exceeding 35” tall X 13.5” wide (for the 5” spacer kit) or 37 tall X 13.5” wide (for the 6” coil kit) is recommended. Violation of these recommendations will not be endorsed as acceptable by Pro Comp Suspension and will void any and all warranties either written or implied.
SPECIAL TOOLS
 PLEASE REFER TO YOUR SERVICE MANUAL FOR MORE INFORMATION.  A SPECIAL REMOVAL TOOL IS REQUIRED FOR SAFE REMOVAL OF THE TIE RODS.  A SPECIAL REMOVAL TOOL IS REQUIRED FOR SAFE REMOVAL O F THE COIL SPRINGS.  THESE TOOL MAY BE PURCHASED AT YOUR LOCAL DEALER.  YOU MAY BE ABLE TO RENT ANY OF THESE TOOLS AT YOUR LOCAL PARTS STORE.
