Place support stands securely under the vehicle in the manufacturer's specified locations unless otherwise instructed. Proper use of safety equipment and eye/face/hand protection is absolutely necessary when performing any of the following instructions. We strive for an exceptional experience for all our valued customers. If for any reason you need assistance with your Belltech products, please do not return the product to the store you purchased from, but rather call our dedicated customer service experts, from 6am to 5pm PST. We recommend that a qualified mechanic, at a properly equipped facility, perform this installation. It is very helpful to have an assistant available during installation. Before Driving Your Vehicle: It is important to double check all brake hoses, cables, and other components to be sure there is no interference. You must also check for wheel/tire to chassis/body interference. If any issues are found, review your installation instructions to be sure no steps were missed and any problems are corrected. Make sure your vehicle is aligned immediately following installation. Check all hardware and re-torque at intervals for the first 10, 100, and 1000 miles. Some of Belltech's products are designed to improve your vehicle's off-road performance. Leveling/lifting your vehicle may result in an altered center of gravity. It is crucial to use extreme care when operating your vehicle to prevent rollover and/or loss of control. Any changes in your vehicle's suspension may result in transformed handleability. Please test-drive your vehicle in a remote location so you can become accustomed to the revised driving characteristics. Perform headlight check and adjustment. Failure to drive any modified vehicle in a safe manner may result in harm or death. Never operate your modified vehicle under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or lack of adequate sleep. Always wear your seatbelt. 15329-888 4/5/2022 JP REVA-01 1 A Division of KW AUTOMOTIVE North America, Inc.

Installation Preparation: Before beginning the installation process, measure the hub to fender heights for your vehicle and record them in the "Before" section. After your vehicle has been modified, record the new measurements in the, "After" section. This way, you can compare the resulting height to the original. When taking the measurements, measure vertically from the center of the wheel to the inner edge of the fender.

Lift the rear of the vehicle off the ground using a properly rated floor jack. Lift the vehicle so the front tires are approximately 6-8 inches off the ground. 6. Place support stands rated for the vehicles weight. The stands should be positioned in the factory specified locations. (Refer to owners manual). Prior to lowering the vehicle onto stands, make sure the support stands will contact the chassis. It is very important that the vehicle is properly supported to prevent any harm to ones self or to the vehicle. 7. Lower the vehicle slowly onto the stands. 8. Remove the rear wheels.
