After installing a lift kit, your vehicle's driving characteristics will change. Be aware of the following:

  • Centre de gravetat: The vehicle's center of gravity will be higher, which can affect stability, especially during cornering or sudden maneuvers. Drive cautiously until you are accustomed to the new handling.
  • Frenatge: Braking performance may be slightly altered. Allow for increased stopping distances.
  • Headlight Aim: Headlights may need to be re-aimed to prevent blinding oncoming traffic.
  • Mida del pneumàtic: If larger tires are installed, ensure they clear all suspension and body components during full steering lock and suspension travel.
  • Ús fora de carretera: While this kit enhances off-road capability, always drive within your limits and the vehicle's capabilities.
