Installation Overview

Follow the instructions included with the part and your service manual. A typical install looks like this:

1. Lift and support the machine safely.
2. Remove the parts the instructions call for.
3. Install the kit with the supplied hardware.
4. Torque everything to spec and recheck after the first ride.

Pro Tip

Combine a rack support with heavy-duty tie rods for the biggest improvement in steering feel.

How It Compares to Stock

Factory UTV parts are built to a price for average use. Black Ops Machine parts are built for drivers who jump, race and run big tires, so they use stronger materials and tighter tolerances. Upgrading the chassis and steering reinforcement now can prevent a breakdown far from the truck and protect the parts around it.

Trail-Ready Checklist

• Torque all new hardware to spec and mark it with a paint pen
• Recheck torque after the first ride and after hard use
• Carry basic tools, a spare belt and recovery gear
• Inspect suspension and steering parts before every ride

Safety and Maintenance

Always support the machine on stands, never just a jack. Torque fasteners to spec, use new cotter pins and locking hardware where required, and recheck everything after the first ride. Inspect suspension and steering parts after hard hits and at every service, and keep greaseable parts greased.
