WARNING 3651 N. Hwy. 89 • Chino Valley, AZ 86323 (928) 636-7080 • www.p-a-g.net Many states and municipalities have laws restricting bumper heights and vehicle lifts. Consult state and local laws to determine if the changes you intend to make to the vehicle comply with the law. 2007-2015 JEEP WRANGLER (JK) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING The installation of larger tires may reduce the effectiveness of the braking system. 1.75” Front Coil Spacer 1.00” Rear Coil Spacer #JL200PA WARNING Always wear eye protection when operating power tools. WARNING Installation of a Performance Automotive Group suspension lift kit will change the vehicle’s center of gravity and handling characteristics both on- and off-road. You must drive the vehicle safely! Extreme care must be taken to prevent vehicle rollover or loss of control, which could result in serious injury or death. Avoid sudden sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers and always make sure all vehicle occupants have their seat belts fastened. WARNING Before you install this kit, block the vehicle tires to prevent the vehicle from rolling. WARNING DO NOT combine suspension, body, or other lift devices. Use of vehicle with combined lifts may result in unsafe and/or unexpected handling characteristics. WARNING NOTE Before you install this kit, read and understand all instructions, warnings, cautions, and notes in this instruction sheet and in the vehicle owner’s manual. Lift height may vary depending on vehicle configuration, engine size, additional accessories, the factory suspension package, and vehicle’s condition. CAUTION NOTE Proper installation of this kit requires knowledge of the factory recommended procedures for removal and installation of original equipment components. We recommend that the factory shop manual and any special tools needed to service your vehicle be on hand during the installation. Installation of this kit without proper knowledge of the factory recommended procedures may affect the performance of these components and the safety of the vehicle. We strongly recommend that a certified mechanic familiar with the installation of similar components install this kit. Performance Automotive Group recommends using the Loctite® supplied in the kit on the threads of all kit nuts and bolts unless specified otherwise in these instructions. WARNING We strongly recommend using the Performance Automotive Group shocks that were engineered to be used with this system. If you use other shocks, they must match the full extended and full collapsed lengths of the Performance Automotive Group units exactly. The use of longer or shorter shocks than recommended may cause damage to the vehicle suspension and could result in sudden loss of control of the vehicle and personal injury. Contact Performance Automotive Group for the lengths of the front and rear shocks that must be used with this suspension system. WARNING This kit should only be installed on a vehicle that is in good working condition. Before you install the kit, thoroughly inspect the vehicle for corrosion or deformation of the sheet metal. If the vehicle is suspected to have been in a collision or misused, do not install this kit. Off-road use of your vehicle with this kit installed may increase the stress applied to the factory components. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious personal injury and/or severe damage to your vehicle. NOTE Installation of a suspension lift will change the driveline angles which may cause a noticeable vibration in the vehicle. 1 Jeep JK 1.75”F & 1.00”R Spacer Kit JL200PA Before Starting Installation Wheel & Tire Requirements NOTE The factory wheel and tire combination will fit once this kit is installed.

Performance Automotive Group does not recommend any particular wheel and tire combinations for use with its suspension lifts and cannot assume responsibility for the customer’s choice of wheels and tires. Refer to your owner's manual for recommended tire sizes and warnings related to the use of oversized tires. Larger wheel and tire combinations increase stress and wear on steering and suspension components, which leads to increased maintenance and higher risk for component failure. Larger wheel and tire combinations also alter speedometer calibration, braking effectiveness, center of gravity, and handling characteristics. Consult an experienced local off road shop to find what wheel and tire combinations work best with your vehicle. 10. Using hydraulic floor jack, raise rear of vehicle and remove jack stands. 11. Using hydraulic floor jack, lower rear of vehicle onto ground. 12. TORQUE lug nuts to OEM specification. After Completing Installation Engine Compartment 1. Connect both battery cables.
