Read this before you begin installation-
Check all parts to the parts list above before beginning installation. If any parts are missing contact Fabtech at 909-597-7800
and a replacement part will be sent to you immediately.
Read all instructions thoroughly from start to finish before beginning the installation. If these instructions are not properly
followed severe frame, driveline and / or suspension damage may occur.
Check your local city and state laws prior to the installation of this system for legality. Do not install if not legal in your area.
Prior to the installation of this suspension system perform a front end alignment and record. Do not install this system if the
vehicle alignment is not within factory specifications. Check for frame and suspension damage prior to installation.
The installation of this suspension system should be performed by two professional mechanics.
Use the provided thread locking compound on all hardware.
Do not combine this suspension system with any other lift device or parts.
This suspension must be installed with Fabtech shock absorbers.
WARNING- Installation of this system will alter the center of gravity of the vehicle and may increase roll over as compared
to stock.
On EcoBoost 3.5L and 2.7L models, discard all air shields.
OEM Wheels and tires cannot be used after the installation of this kit. Larger tires cannot be installed on the OEM wheels.
Verify differential fluid is at manufacture’s recommended level prior to kit installation. Installation of the kit will reposition the
differential and the fill plug hole may be in a different position. (For example, if the manufacture recommends 3 quarts of fluid,
make sure the diff has 3 quarts of fluid). Check your specific manual for correct amount of fluid.
Recommend Tires and Wheels:
Use 35/13.50R18 tires w/ 18x9 wheels w/ 5” BS w/ minor trimming
Use 35/13.50R20 tires w/ 20x9 wheels w/ 5” BS w/ minor trimming
Use 285/55R22 tires w/ 22x9.5 wheels w/ 5” BS w/ minor trimming

originally installed, for defects in workmanship and materials.
The Limited Lifetime Warranty excludes the following Fabtech items; bushings, bump stops, ball joints, tie rod ends, limiting
straps, cross shafts, heim joints and driveshafts. These parts are subject to wear and are not considered defective when worn.
They are warranted for 60 days from the date of purchase for defects in workmanship.
Dirt Logic and Performance Coilover take apart shocks are considered a serviceable shock with a one year warranty on leakage
only. Service seal kits are available separately for future maintenance. All other shocks are covered under our Limited Lifetime
Warranty.
Fabtech does not warrant any product for finish, alterations, modifications and/or installation contrary to Fabtech’s instructions.
Alterations to the finish of the parts including but not limited to painting, powder coating, plating and/or welding will void all
warranties. Some finish damage may occur to parts during shipping, which is considered normal and is not covered under

race vehicles, or vehicles used for government or commercial purposes. Also excluded from this warranty are sales outside of
the United States of America.
Installation of most suspension products will raise the center of gravity of the vehicle and will cause the vehicle to handle
differently than stock. It may increase the vehicle’s susceptibility to a rollover, on road and off road, at all speeds. Extreme care
should be taken to operate the vehicle safely at all times to prevent rollover or loss of control resulting in serious injury or death.
Fabtech front end Desert Guards may impair the deployment or operation of vehicles equipped with supplemental restraining
systems/air bag systems and should not be installed if the vehicle is equipped as so.
Fabtech makes every effort to ensure suspension product compatibility with all vehicles listed on the website, but due
to unknown auto manufacturer’s production changes and/or inconstancies by the auto manufacturer, Fabtech cannot be
responsible for 100% compatibility, including the fitment of tire and wheel sizes listed. The Tire and Wheel sizes listed in
Fabtech’s website are only a guideline for street driving with noted fender trimming. Fabtech is not responsible for damages
to the vehicle’s body or tires. Fabtech is not responsible for premature wear of factory components due to the installation of
oversized tires and wheels.
Fabtech’s obligation under this warranty is limited to the repair or replacement, at Fabtech option, of the defective product only.
All costs of removal, installation or re-installation, freight charges, incidental or consequential damages are expressly excluded
from this warranty. Fabtech is not responsible for damages and/or warranty of other vehicle parts related or non related to the
installed Fabtech product. This warranty is expressly in lieu of all other warranties expressed or implied. This warranty shall not
apply to any product that has been subject to accident, negligence, alteration, abuse or misuse as determined by Fabtech.
Fabtech suspension components must be installed as a complete system including shocks as shown on our website. All
warranties will become void if Fabtech parts are combined and/or substituted with other aftermarket suspension products.
Combination and/or substitution of other aftermarket suspension parts may cause premature wear and/or product failure
resulting in an accident causing injury or death. Fabtech does not warrant products not manufactured by Fabtech.
Depending on the condition of the factory suspension components retained after the installation of a Fabtech suspension not
all vehicles may have the same ride stance front to rear as described in the website. The blue color of suspension components
shown in all Fabtech photographs are for display purposes only. Majority of all Fabtech components will be black specifically
where noted with part numbers ending in BK.
Installation of Fabtech product may void the vehicles factory warranty; it is the consumer’s responsibility to check with their
local vehicle’s dealer for warranty disposition before the installation of the product. Some state laws may prohibit modification of
suspension to a vehicle in whole or in part. It is the responsibility of the installer and consumer to consult local laws prior to the
installation of any Fabtech suspension product to comply with such written laws.
It is the responsibility of the distributor and/or the retailer to review all warranties and warnings of Fabtech products with the
consumer prior to purchase.
