POST INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check all fasteners for proper torque. Check to ensure for adequate clearance between all rotating, mobile, fixed, and
heated members. Verify clearance between exhaust and brake lines, fuel lines, fuel tank, floor boards and wiring harness.
Check steering gear for clearance. Test and inspect brake system.
2. Perform steering sweep to ensure front brake hoses have adequate slack and do not contact any rotating, mobile or
heated members. Inspect rear brake hoses at full extension for adequate slack. Failure to perform hose check/ replace-
ment may result in component failure.
3. On some vehicles the front lower skirting will need to be trimmed if using certain wheel /tire combinations and with heavy
offset wheels. Trim only as needed.
4. Activate four wheel drive system and check front hubs for engagement.
5. Have a qualified alignment center align the vehicle immediately. Realign to factory specifications. The following are the
recommended specifications:

Toe In in degrees 0.1 +-.2
Important note: For alignment purposes, please refer to the instructions above. The inner & outer tie rod ends may
need to be trimmed to allow the front end alignment to be set properly. Please alert your alignment specialist of this
possibility.
