Skyjacker C720MS Installation Instructions Manual

Page 1
Before beginning the installation, read these instructions and the enclosed driver’s WARNING NOTICE thoroughly and completely. Also affix the WARNING decal in passenger compartment in clear view of all occupants. If any of these items are missing from this instruction packet, do not pro­ceed with installation, but call SKYJACKER®to obtain needed items. If you have any questions or reservations about installing this lift kit, call SKYJACKER®at 318-388-0816 for Technical Assistance or Customer Service departments.
Make sure you park the vehicle on a level concrete or asphalt surface. Many times a vehicle is uneven (side-to-side) from the factory, but usually not noticed until a lift kit has been installed which makes the difference more visible. Using a measuring tape, measure the front and rear (both sides) from the ground up to the center of the fender opening above the axle. Record below for future ref­erence.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Please refer to Parts List to insure that all parts and hardware are received prior to disassembly of
vehicle. If any parts are found to be missing, contact your dealer as soon as possible.
• If larger tires (10% more than stock diameter) are installed, speedometer recalibration is necessary (see Chevy/GM dealer or Tire Store).
• After installation, a qualified alignment facility is required to align the vehicle to factory specs.
