WARNING
Installation of a Trail Master suspension lift kit will change the vehicle’s center of gravity and handling characteristics both on­and 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 shar p 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
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. 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 components. 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 la ws 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
DO NOT combine suspension, body, or other lift devices. Use of vehicle with combined lifts may result in unsafe and/or une xpected handling characteristics.
NOTE
Lift height may vary depending on vehicle configuration, engine size, additional accessories, the factory suspension package, and vehicle’s condition.
NOTE
Trail Master recommends using thread locking compound on the
1
threads of all kit nuts and bolts unless specified otherwise in thes e instructions.

Torque Specifications:
NOTE
Kit parts are prefaced by the word kit and appear in bold print.
1. Carefully read all warnings and instructions com­pletely before beginning.
2. Verify all parts have been received in this kit by checking the parts list at the end of this document.
3. Only install this kit on the vehicle for which it is specified. If anytime during the installation you en­counter something different from what is outlined in the instructions, call technical support at (877) 695-
7812.
4. Park vehicle on a clean, dry, flat, level surface and block tires so vehicle cannot roll in either direction.
5. Measure ride height with the vehicle supporting its own weight on level ground. To settle the suspension, the vehicle should be driven forward at least 10 feet immediately prior to taking these measurements. Ride height is the measurement from the center of the axle straight up (vertical) to the fender lip. Record this measurement for all four wheels.
NOTE
Adhere to recommendations when replacement fas­teners, retainers and keepers are called out in the factory service manual. When re-assembling the ve­hicle it is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer that certain fasteners are replaced in order to main­tain proper retention characteristics. This system may not include all replacement hardware as recom­mended by the factory service manual. Additional replacement hardware should be obtained prior to installation of this system to meet the requirements of the factory service manual.
Engine Compartment
1. Disconnect both battery cables. Disconnect negative cable first, then positive cable.
Wheel & Tire Requirements
The factory wheel and tire combination will fit once this kit is installed.
Tire & Wheel Information:
Due to differences in manufacturing, dimensions and inflated measurements, tire and wheel combinations should be test fit prior to installation. Tire and wheel choice is crucial in assuring proper fit, performance, and the safety of your Trailmaster equipped vehicle. For this application, we recommend a wheel not to exceed 10” in width with a maximum backspacing of 5 3/4” must be used. Additionally, a quality tire of radial design, not exceeding 37” tall X 12.50” wide is also recommended. Violation of these recommenda­tions will not be endorsed as acceptable by Trailmas­ter Suspension and will void any and all warranties either written or implied.

23. Re-check all
hardware (both the front and the
rear) for proper installation and torque!!
24. If you wish, you may trim the excess u-bolt thread length. If you do this you should leave approximately one inch of thread ex­posed after the U-bolts are torqued.
25. On both sides of the vehicle, check the routing of the brake lines and the ABS wire harnesses. There must be no pinching, rubbing, or stretching of either component. Reposition them if needed.

NOTES:
1. Check steering and suspension in all positions
to ensure that there is no bind and adequate clearance between all moving, fixed, and heated members. Check operation of clutch, brake sys­tem, and parking brake. Check operation of trans­mission and transfer case. Ensure there is full en­gagement in all gears and 4WD ranges. Check battery connections and electrical component op­erations. Test-drive vehicle.
WARNING
Re-torque all fasteners after 500 miles and after off road use. All suspension lift components should be visually inspected and fasteners re­torqued during routine vehicle servicing.
Caution:
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.
 On completion of the installation, have the
suspension and headlights re-aligned.
 After 100 miles recheck for proper torque
on all newly installed hardware.
 Recheck all hardware for tightness after
off road use.

Notice to Owner Operator, Dealer and Installer:
Vehicles that have been enhanced for off-road performance often have unique handling characteristics due to the higher center of gravity and larger tires. This vehicle may handle, react and stop differently than many passenger cars or unmodified vehicles, both on and off–road. You must drive your vehicle safely! Extreme care should always be taken to prevent vehicle rollover or loss of control, which can result in seri­ous injury or even death. Always avoid sudden sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers and allow more time and distance for braking! Trail Master Suspension
reminds you to fasten your seat belts at all times and re­duce speed! We will gladly answer any questions concerning the design, function, maintenance and cor­rect use of our products.
Please make sure your Dealer/Installer explains and delivers all warning notices, warranty forms and instruction sheets included with Trail Master Suspension
product.
