Product Use Information

As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is the easier it will roll. We strongly recommend , because of rollover possibility, that Seat belts and shoulder harness be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur.

Braking performance and capabilities are decreased when significantly large/
heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving, Also , speedometer recalibration is necessary when larger tires are installed.

Do no add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts which increase vehicle height over the intended height of the Daystar Product purchased. Mixing component brands, lifts, and/or combining body lift with suspension lift voids all warranties. Daystar makes no claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any and all implied claims. We will not be responsible for any products

Loosen body mount bolts on one side of vehicle and remove bolts from opposite side using a 5/8” socket for positions 1,5 and 6 ( body mount location chart ) and a ¾” socket for positions 2, 3 and 4. Use a long extension to remove mounts next to gas tank. Place 2x4 between jack and body to spread out load and jack up body on the side you have removed the bolts from just far enough to remove mounts. The bolts on the opposite side will help ensure that the body does not shift. CAUTION: Open Hood while jacking up the body to make sure that the fan doesn’t hit the shroud. Also, watch that hoses and wires are not stretched. The dip-stick head can be pinched so remove dipstick while doing installation.
