FRONT LIFT INSTALLATION
*When referring to left and right positions during the installation process, it is from the seated position*
1. Place UTV transmission in park. Place jack under center of UTV front end and lift until front wheels clear
the ground. Be careful to support ATV properly so that it is securely supported so that A-arms and
shocks can droop to full extension. Remove the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the top of the shock from the frame.
3. Next insert the long front lift bracket (73M) into the frame starting from the driver’s side of the UTV.
Insert the bracket so that it slides between the shock mount tabs. Also, insert the bracket with the
notched side down and so that it is on the right side of the UTV. The notch is designed to clearance the
bracket from the voltage regulator on the passenger side.
4. Next, insert a (10mm x 70mm bolt) through the small front lift bracket (73N) and outer shock mount.

insert and use spacer (81i) instead. Push the bolt through the spacer then slide the bolt through the
lowest hole on the long lift bracket and out through the inner shock mount tab. Loosely fasten it with a
(10mm lock nut).

Read before Installation
This product is designed for use on ATVs and/or RUVs to increase ground clearance and fender clearance.
Purchasers should be aware that use of this product may increase the frequency of required maintenance, part
wear, and will raise the center of gravity on your ATV and/or RUV, increasing risk of roll-over, injury and
death on all types of terrain. It is your responsibility to always inform other operators and passengers of this
vehicle about the added risks.
High Lifter Products, products are designed to best fit users ATV/RUV under stock conditions. Adding,
modifying, or fabricating any OEM or aftermarket parts will void warranty. High Lifter Products, products
could interfere with other aftermarket accessories. If the user has aftermarket products on machine, contact
High Lifter Products to verify that they will work together. Adding aftermarket suspension components
and/or more aggressive tires can cause breakage of other OEM driveline components such as differentials,
axles or drive shafts.
We recommend that wider tires and/or wheel spacers be used to achieve a wider stance and to improve
stability of the ATV and/or RUV. Riders should be advised that the handling characteristics of a taller ATV
and/or RUV are different and require extra care when riding, particularly on side hills or off-camber situations.
If you further raise the center of gravity by adding taller tires, heavy loads to racks or seats, or by any other
means, the ATV and/or RUV must be operated with even more care, at slower speeds and on relatively flat
ground. All turns should be done at a slow speed, even on level ground.
Operation of an ATV and/or RUV with or without modified suspension components, while or shortly after
consuming alcohol or drugs, subjects the rider to the risk of serious bodily harm or possible death. This risk is
compounded if the rider does not wear an approved helmet and other safety gear. High Lifter urges that all
approved safety gear be worn when riding an ATV and/or RUV as a driver or passenger.
By purchasing and installing High Lifter Products, products, user agrees that should damages occur, High
Lifter Products will not be held responsible for loss of time, use, labor fees, replacement parts, or freight
charges. High Lifter Products will not be held responsible for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or
consequential damages that result from any product purchased from High Lifter Products. The total liability of

product that gives rise to the claim.
Dealers and other Installers
You are responsible for informing your customer and end user of the information contained above and the
increased potential hazards of operating an ATV and/or RUV equipped with modified suspension
components. If you install any suspension modifying components, it is your responsibility to also install the
warning label prominently in view of the driver and in prominent view of the driver and passenger on RUVs
and multi-passenger ATVs. They should also be instructed to notify anyone operating the vehicle, as well as
any passengers, that said vehicle is modified.
As discussed above, it is critically important that they be instructed in the need for slower speed operation,
regardless of terrain, after this lift kit is installed.
