Notes:

Installation Alignment Note:  Your vehicle may require alignment after product installation. You may incur additional costs to align the vehicle.

Installation Headlamp Aim Note:  In addition to your vehicle alignment, for your safety and others, it is necessary to check and adjust your vehicle headlamps for proper aim and alignment after product installation.  You may incur additional costs to adjust the headlamp system.

 Installation Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Note:  If your vehicle is equipped with active or passive safety/collision monitoring and/or assistance/avoidance systems including, but not limited to, camera- or radar/sonar-based systems, check and adjust your vehicle’s systems for proper aim and function after product installation.   In some instances, your vehicle may require OEM dealer service tools and factory-trained technicians to re-calibrate ADAS.  You may incur additional costs to adjust ADAS systems.

SAEJ2492 WARNING: By installing this product, you acknowledge that the suspension of this vehicle has been modified. As a result, this vehicle may handle differently than factory-equipped vehicles. As with any vehicle, extreme care must be used to prevent loss of control or rollover during sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. Always wear seat belts, and drive safely, recognizing that reduced speeds and specialized driving techniques may be required. Failure to drive this vehicle safely may result in serious injury or death. Do not drive this vehicle unless you are familiar with its unique handling characteristics and are confident of your ability to maintain control under all driving conditions. Some modifications (and combinations of modifications) are not recommended and may not be permitted in your state. Consult your owner's manual, the instructions accompanying this product, and state laws before undertaking these modifications. You are responsible for the legality and safety of the vehicle you modify using these components.

•  Single Cab configuration has not been validated for fitment & drivability by ReadyLIFT.
• Some SRW (Single Rear Wheel) models may require custom U-Bolts to accommodate the factory tow package. Will not fit DRW (Dual Rear Wheel) applications without custom U-bolts. Towing Capacity will be reduced with the installation of this kit. This kit is primarily designed to only be driven in 2WD at speed on public roads and that 4WD is only to be used off-road or in adverse slow speed conditions due to drive line vibrations at high speeds. A double cardan driveshaft may be required to help eliminate some of the high-speed 4WD front driveline vibrations when kits are 5-8'' high.

Tire Fitment

• 35" Maximum tire diameter
• 35 x 12.50 for no rub on a 9" wide wheel with -6 offset
• 18" - 35 x 12.5R18
• 20" - 35 x 12.5R20
  

Tire Size Note: ReadyLIFT wheel and tire fitment recommendations are typically based on Wheel Pros wheels and Nitto tires. Due to product differences among tire manufacturers, tire specifications and dimensions including, but limited to, overall diameter, rolling diameter, tread width, aspect ratio, lug pattern, sidewall construction and inflation pressure, will vary meaningfully by tire and wheel manufacturer. Every tire and wheel combination should be test fit prior to installation. Consult your local installer to learn more about the right tire fitment for your application.

Ride Quality Note: When lifting a vehicle and installing aftermarket wheels and tires, a tire manufacturer's construction and material quality can alter vehicle ride quality. When increasing a vehicle wheel and tire size, most larger aftermarket truck and SUV tires are 10-ply (or more) E tires compared to typical OEM 6-ply C tires. This more rigid sidewall construction increases the perception of suspension stiffness often described as ride harshness. The ride, handling, traction, noise, fuel economy, and wear differences between All-Season, All-Terrain, Mud-Terrain, or Trail-Terrain type tires can be significant. Please take into account tire and wheel choice will generally have a meaningful impact on the ride & handling experience.
