Before beginning the installation, thoroughly & completely read these instructions & the enclosed

driver’s WARNING NOTICE. Ax the WARNING decal in the passenger compartment in clear view

of all occupants. Please refer to the Parts List to insure that all parts & hardware are received prior

to the disassembly of the vehicle. If any parts are found to be missing, contact SKYJACKER®

Customer Service at 318-388-0816 to obtain the needed items. If you have any questions or

reservations about installing this product, contact SKYJACKER® Technical Assistance at 318-388-

0816.

Make sure you park the vehicle on a level concrete or asphalt surface. Many times a vehicle is not

level (side-to-side) from the factory & is usually not noticed until a lift kit has been installed, which

makes the dierence more visible. Using a measuring tape, measure the front & rear (both sides)

from the ground up to the center of the fender opening above the axle. Record this information

below for future reference.

Driver Side Rear: Passenger Side Rear:

Important Notes:

• If larger tires (10% more than the OEM diameter) are installed, speedometer recalibration will be

necessary. Contact your local Ford dealer or an authorized dealer for details.

• After installation, a qualified alignment facility is required to align the vehicle to the OEM

specifications.
