ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
8K SUSPENSION (8A000499)
7.1 CAUTION In order for the suspension to func-
tion properly, the "ride height" of the suspension
must be within the range specified by Link Mfg. See
the charts below for more information on available
lift.
7.2 Four ride heights exist for this suspension;
11.00'' to 13.50'', 13.00'' to 15.50'', 15.00'' to 17.50'',
and 17.00'' to 19.50''.

7.3 To determine the appropriate Frame Mount Kit and
chart, use the formula below.
Loaded Frame Height - Loaded Tire Radius
7.4 With the correct chart, the amount of lift can be
found by intersecting the Loaded Tire Radius with the
Loaded Frame Height.
NOTE: When measuring frame to ground clearance, be
sure to measure with vehicle loaded, at intended sus-
pension location and on level ground.
