INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
98 NISSAN FRONTIER 2 WD
KIT # 4073
WARNING
Installation of a Performance Accessories body lift will change
the center of gravity and the handling characteristics of the
vehicle. Because of the higher center of gravity and larger tires,
the vehicle will handle and react differently both on and off road.
You must drive it 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
Read and understand all instructions, warnings, cautions, and
notes in this sheet and in your owners manual before you begin
the installation of this body lift kit.
CAUTION
Proper installation of a Performance Accessories body lift kit
requires knowledge of the factory recommended procedures for
disassembly an assembly of original equipment components. It is
recommended that the factory shop manual and any special tools
necessary to your vehicle be on hand during the installation.
Installation of this body lift kit without proper knowledge of the
factory recommended procedures may affect the performance of
these components and the safety of you vehicle. It is strongly
recommended that a certified mechanic who is familiar with the
installation of similar components install this body lift kit.
WARNING
This body lift kit should only be installed on vehicles that are in
good working condition. Before the installation begins, the
vehicle should be thoroughly inspected for evidence of corrosion
or deformation of the sheet metal around the factory body
mounts. This body lift kit should not be installed on any vehicle
that is suspected to have been in a collision, or misused. Off
road use of you vehicle with this body lift installed may increase
the stress applied to the factory body mounts. It is not
recommended that any vehicle, with a body lift installed, be
involved in any extreme off road maneuvers such as jumping.
Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal
injury and/or serious damage to your vehicle.
WARNING
Performance Accessories strongly discourages the use of a
suspension lift kit or any other lift device in addition to a body
lift kit. A vehicle that uses a combination of lift devices not
originally engineered to be used together may result in
unexpected and unsafe handling characteristics. Many states now
have laws restricting bumper heights and vehicle lifts. Local
laws should be consulted to determine if the changes you intend
to make to your vehicle complies with state laws.
WARNING
The installation of larger wheel and tire combinations may
reduce the effectiveness of the Anti-lock Braking System.
NOTE
Performance Accessories recommends using the Loctite®
supplied in the kit, on all hardware unless noted in the
instructions.
