Riding Height: Front

  1. Check that vehicle is full of fuel, oil, water and on level surface. Press down on front bumper and slowly release, then lift up on bumper and slowly release. This will settle front suspension.
  2. Measure distance between center of outer headlight and floor on both sides of vehicle. Height should be 24.6" (611 mm) minimum. To adjust height, install or remove spring spacers from front coil springs.
NOTE: Spring spacers are 1/8" (3.2 mm) thick and will change riding height approximately 5/16" (7.9 mm).
