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.

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.

Be aware that this does not replace factory instructions or manuals for service work, but is a free *how-to* following the basic steps that were done on our own in-house car to make the 2008+ factory HID headlamps work on our 2005 GT that originally was not equipped with these headlights. It is worth what you’re paying for it! These instructions may or may not work on your vehicle, and we are not responsible for any damage or problems that may arise when you attempt this modification on your own vehicle.

Installation:
1. Following the vehicle manufacturers instructions, remove the radiator shroud, grill, headlights and turn signals. Then remove the plastic substructure that they are mounted to (Fig. 1).
2. While holding the housing (without lighthead) in the exact mounting location, mark the location of the two mounting holes onto the mounting surface. There is a small notch cut into the inside of the two screw bosses on the housing. Use the notch as a guide, make your mark, then (with the housing removed) measure and make the mounting holes 5-3/8” apart (Figs. 2 & 3). NOTE: Depending on what lighthead you are using with this housing, you will need to drill a wire hole. Refer to the lighthead manual for the size and location.

The S60, introduced this spring as a 2002 model, builds on the radically styled S80 sedan and V70 wagon theme. Its lines are fluid and its stance athletic.
