INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR:

RE6500 MJ 5.5” SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Safety Warning:

Suspension systems or components that enhance the off-road performance of your

vehicle may cause it to handle differently, on and off-road, than it did from the

factory. Care must be taken to prevent loss of control or vehicle rollover during

sudden maneuvers. Failure to drive the vehicle safely may result in serious injury

or death to driver and passengers. We recommend you always wear your seatbelt,

drive safely and avoid quick turns and other sudden maneuvers. Constant

maintenance is required to keep your vehicle safe. Thoroughly inspect your vehicle

before and after every off-road use.

We recommend that certified technicians perform the installations of our products.

Attempts to install these products without knowledge or experience may jeopardize

the safety of the vehicle. These instructions only cover the installation of our

products and may not include factory procedures for disassembly and reassembly

of factory components. Read instructions from start to finish and be sure all parts

only for recommended procedures and in no way are meant to be definitive.
