Install guide (overview)

Follow the kit manual. Support the vehicle safely. Torque to spec. Suspension upgrades improve support and stance but do not change GVWR or towing ratings.

  • Transfer OE components (seats, bump stop, dust cover) as specified; install the MAD spring in correct orientation.
  • Re-fit strut and exterior parts; torque to specification.
  • Wheel alignment recommended after install (multi-link front geometry).

After installation

  • Readjust headlight aim and, if present, camera/radar ADAS systems.
  • Road-test; re-torque fasteners after ~100 miles.
