DURAMAX DIESEL PICKUP
(New Body Style) 3” BODY LIFT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
KIT #10253
WARNING
Installation of a Performance Automotive Group body
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, read and understand all
instructions, warnings, cautions, and notes in this
instruction sheet and in the vehicle owner’s manual.
CAUTION
Proper installation of this kit requires knowledge of the
factory recommended procedures for removal and
installation of original equipment components. We rec-
ommend 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 sim-
ilar components install this kit.
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
This kit should only be installed on a vehicle that is in
good working condition. Before you install the kit, thor-
oughly inspect the vehicle for corrosion or deformation
of the sheet metal around the factory body mounts. 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 body mounts. We do not recom-
mend that any vehicle with a body lift kit installed be
involved in any extreme off-road maneuvers such as
jumping. Failure to observe this warning may result in
serious personal injury and/or severe damage to your
vehicle.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
The installation of larger tires may reduce the effective-
ness of the Braking System.
WARNING
Always wear eye protection when operating power
tools.
WARNING
Before you install this kit, block the vehicle tires to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling.
WARNING
Accidental deployment of the air bag can result in seri-
ous personal injury or death. To avoid accidental
deployment during installation of the kit, the Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS, or airbag) must remain
deactivated. Do not allow anyone near the airbag dur-
ing installation. Refer to the factory service manual or
owner's manual for the recommended procedure to
disable the SRS. After you install the kit, reactivate the
SRS before driving the vehicle.
NOTE
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.
