INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2” LIFT KIT – ‘87-’95 JEEP YJ - #30620
Warrior recommends installation of this kit by a certified technician. In addition to these instructions, professional
knowledge of disassemble/re-assembly procedures, as well as post installation checks must be known. Attempts to install
this system without this knowledge and expertise may jeopardize the integrity and/or operating safety of the vehicle.
Please read instructions before beginning installation. Check the kit hardware against the parts list. Be sure you have all
needed parts and know where they go. With the installation of all lift kits and larger tires it is important to check the
condition of your steering stabilizer. If the stabilizer is worn or is leaking it should be replaced. A multiple stabilizer kit is
recommended for vehicles equipped with a snow plow, winch, or larger tires.
PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll. To offset this tendency you should increase tire track width. In
other words, go "wide" as you go "tall". If you remove mud tires and install ones more appropriate for street driving; always
use as wide a tire and wheel combination as possible to enhance vehicle stability. We strongly recommend, because of
rollover possibility, that the vehicle be equipped with a functional roll-bar and cage system. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses
should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur. Generally, braking performance and capability
are decreased when significantly larger/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving.
Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts to increase vehicle height over the intended height of the
Warrior product purchased. Mixing component brands is not recommended. Warrior makes no claims regarding lifting
devices and excludes any and all implied claims. We will not be responsible for any product that is altered. If questions exist
we will be happy to answer any questions concerning the design, function, and correct use of our products.

characteristics.
INSTALLING DEALER - it is your responsibility to install the warning decal and forward these installation instructions on

4. Loosen all four front spring u-bolts. (The rest of the spring removal and installation is done 1 side at a time.)
5. On the driver side, position a floor jack beneath the axle tube, just inside of the leaf spring. Raise the jack until the
axle slightly separates from the spring. Now remove the u-bolts on the driver’s side.
6. Prior to installation of new springs and shackles (#149 front, #150 rear), thoroughly lubricate the new polyurethane
spring eye bushings and sleeves with a water resistant, lithium based grease. Loosely attach the spring (front spring

pins align & seat into spring perch holes.

frame mounts and the shackle mounts.
9. Repeat #5, #6, #7, and #8 on the opposite side.
10. Install tires/ wheels, remove jack stands and lower the vehicle to the floor. Tighten the front spring’s shackle to
95ft/lbs. and the spring’s stationary end to 105ft/lbs.
11. Now raise the rear of the vehicle, placing safety (jack) stands under rear frame rails. Remove the old springs and
