Trucks with lift kits or leveling kits installed have a higher center of gravity. Aggressive direction changes may cause a tip over. Always drive carefully and obey the speed limit.
1. FRONT SUSPENSION—remove axle nut to prevent the CV joint form coming apart.
2. Remove three nuts from under plastic plugs under hood. These attach the upper strut to the truck
3. Place rags or some other cushioning over the axle, to prevent the sharp bottom of the strut from cutting the CV boot.
4. Remove the sway bar link from the truck. This will be replaced with the sway bar link included in the kit.
5. Remove the lower bolt of the strut and remove the strut assembly. Be careful not to cut the CV boot

Adjusting Lift/Leveling kit after installation
(1) Always wear proper eye protection! Position vehicle on a stable,flat surface and suspend front wheels, lifting by the frame with a floor jack or lift jack. Secure frame with jack stands. Chock tires and turn engine off prior to adjustment!
(2) Locate the two Torsion Key Adjusting Bolts in the cross member of your vehicle chassis.
(3) Using a ratchet wrench and 22mm socket,engage the Adjusting Bolt and SLOWLY turn CLOCKWISE to INCREASE ride height,or COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to DECREASE ride height. Each full turn of the Adjusting Bolt will alter ride height approximately 1/8″. Each half turn will result in a ride height change of approximately 1/16″. (4) Be sure to always check that both sides of the vehicle have been adjusted to the same ride height. Under no circumstances should this product be altered to adjust ride height beyond its design limits.

Installation of a body lift will change the center of gravity and the handling characteristics of the vehicle. Because of the higher center of gravity and larger tires, the vehicle will handle and react differently both on and off-road. You must drive it safely! Extreme care must be taken to prevent vehicle roll-over or loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Avoid sudden sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers and always make sure all vehicle occupants have their seat belts fastened.

Suzuki engineers have designed an all-new light weight 25PS (18.4kW) 4-stroke outboard that weighs just 69kg (152lbs.)*. Its lighter weight and economical operation make it ideal for boaters and fishermen who need a powerful compact outboard. In addition, this new 4-stroke fully complies with 2006 EPA and forthcoming EURO 1 standards (EU Directive 2003/44/EC), and carries the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 3-star Ultra-Low emissions rating.

The technical definition of balance is the uniform distribution of mass about an axis of rotation, where the center of gravity is in the same location as the center of rotation. A balanced tire is one where mass of the tire – when mounted on its wheel and the car’s axle – is uniformly distributed around the axle (its center of rotation). Balanced tires can spell the difference between a positive and negative driving experience. Drivers of new, high performance or luxury vehicles may be more sensitive to imbalance problems, but no driver is happy with an annoying vibration.

Removing a transmission and replacing a clutch is a complex and time-consuming procedure. By replacing it yourself, you alone are responsible for the safety and functionality of yourself and vehicle. If you do not want to take that chance, I recommend that you take you car to a Nissan certified mechanic. This article was written after my clutch was replace and the transmission was re-installed. It is very possible that I left out a few steps or remembered them differently. Read the entire article before starting, you may find something too challenging for your level of skill.

2003 jeep wrangler tj installation instructions body lift kit 3” - kit # 9450 Performance Automotive Group does not recommend any particular wheel and tire combinations for use with its body lifts and cannot assume responsibility for the customer’s choice of wheels and tires. Reference your owner’s manual for recommended tire sizes and warn- ings related to the use of oversized tires. Larger wheel and tire combinations increase stress and wear on steering and suspension components, which leads to increased maintenance and higher risk for component failure. Larger wheel and tire combinations also alter speedometer calibration, braking effectiveness, center of gravity, and handling characteristics.
