spindle by hitting the side of the spindle. DO NOT use a ball joint separator

IMPORTANT NOTE: The advertised amount of lift that this kit provides and the thickness of the spacers sup-
plied will not be the same! For example, a 2-1/2” lift may only have 1-1/2” thick spacers. The reason for the
difference between the spacer thickness and the amount of lift has to do with suspension geometry. There is a
ratio involved, and it is this ratio that determines the thickness of the spacers. Rest assured, installing the
spacer supplied will result in the proper amount of lift out at the wheel.
