4. It is highly recommended to have a professional alignment performed after installing any lift kit to ensure proper steering and tire wear.

5. Operating Considerations

After installing the lift kit, the vehicle's handling characteristics will change. Be aware of the following:

• Increased Center of Gravity: The vehicle's center of gravity will be higher, which can affect stability, especially during sharp turns or on uneven terrain. Exercise caution.
• Braking Performance: Braking distances may be slightly altered. Adjust your driving habits accordingly.
• Tire Clearance: While the kit allows for larger tires, always check for full articulation clearance before aggressive off-road use.
• Suspension Travel: The lift kit maintains factory suspension travel but repositions the shock mounting points to achieve the lift.

6. Maintenance

Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your lift kit and vehicle.

• Periodic Inspection: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and components of the lift kit for tightness and signs of wear or damage. This should be done before and after off-road excursions.
• Cleaning: Keep the components clean from mud, dirt, and debris, especially after off-road use, to prevent corrosion and wear.
• Alignment: Recheck wheel alignment periodically, especially if you notice uneven tire wear or changes in steering.
• Component Replacement: If any component shows signs of significant wear, bending, or cracking, replace it immediately with genuine SuperATV parts.
