Page 1 of 5 Jeep JK Wrangler 2 ½” Lift Kit Instructions Thank you for choosing Fat Bob’s Garage lift kits. We recommend that all lift kits be installed by a certified professional that is knowledgeable of disassembly and reassembly procedures. Post installation checks are always recommended after installing aftermarket parts. Installing parts without proper knowledge and tools may jeopardize the integrity and safety of a vehicle, and Fat Bob’s will not be accountable for improperly installed parts and vehicle damage. Lifting a vehicle does cause the center of gravity to raise and rollover may become easier, always avoid situations where a rollover may occur and always wear seat belts. Larger tires will cause braking performance to decrease. Mixing of brands and lift components is not recommended. Important Note: The draglink must be adjusted to the center steering wheel BEFORE the vehicle is driven. Failure to do so will cause a computer error in the Jeep’s traction control system.
