IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING: This suspension system will enhance the off-road
performance of your vehicle. It will handle differently, both on and
off-road, from a factory equipped passenger car or truck.
Extreme care must be used to prevent loss of control or vehicle
rollover during abrupt maneuvers. Failure to drive this vehicle
safely may result in serious injury or death to the driver and
passengers. ALWAYS WEAR your seat belts. Reduce your
speed, and AVOID sharp turns and other abrupt maneuvers.
Before installing this system, have the vehicle’s alignment
checked by a certified technician. The alignment must be within
factory specifications and the frame of the vehicle must be sound
(no cracks, damage or corrosion).
Do not chrome, cad or zinc plate any of the components in this
system. Changing the coated surface of components will void the
warranty of your Full Traction Suspension.
This suspension system was developed using the following tire &
wheel combination: 35” x12.50 tire, 17 x 8 wheel with 4.5 inches
of wheel backspacing. Before installing any other combination,
consult your local tire and wheel specialist.
Mandatory Requirements
The required installation time for this system is approximately
12-15 hours. Installation time will vary. NO transfer case or
exhaust modifications are required for 2007-2009 or 2012
You’ve made a purchase of the best suspension system
available. For a correctly installed system, follow these
instructions. If you do not have the tools or are unsure of your

Important Safety Warning
2013-07 Jeep Wrangler JK
with Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
Must Read:
Standard on the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler is an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which aids the driver in
maintaining vehicle directional stability in severe driving maneuvers on any type of surface. ESP features three
modes – “full on,” “full off” and “partial on. ESP provides the greatest benefit in critical driving situations such as
turns, and is especially valuable when driving on mixed surface conditions including snow, ice or gravel. If there's
a discernible difference between what the driver directs through the steering wheel and the vehicle's path, ESP
applies selective braking and throttle input in order to put the vehicle back onto the driver's intended path.
Note:
ESP system activation will occur on a lifted Jeep JK when the steering wheel and the front steering system are
not in proper alignment. Full-Traction Suspension recommends a professional front end alignment of the vehicle
immediately following installation of any lift system. Proper alignment includes adjusting the Steering Drag Rod
and Centering the Steering Wheel. Failure to align the front of the vehicle will result in automatic activation of the
ESP system while driving.
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.
