PRODUCT USE INFORMATION

As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is the easier it will roll. We strongly recommend, because of rollover possibility,
Seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollove r may occur.

Braking performance and capabilities are decreased when significantly larger/heaver tires and wheels are used. Take
this into consideration while driving. Also, speedometer recalibration is necessary when larger tires are installed.

Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts which increase vehicle height over the intended height of
the Rough Country product purchased. Mixing component brands, lifts, voids all warranties. Rough Country makes no
claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any and all implied claims. We will not be responsible for any product that
is altered.

This shackle relocation kit lifts the rear of the vehicle approx 1” to 1-1/2” . The addition of a taller coil or coil
spacers in the front is recommended to level the vehicle and is available from Rough Country. Ask your dealer
for details. Additionally exhaust modifications will be required to provide adequate clearance on shackle
bracket. Shocks with additional travel may also ne needed to achieve full suspension travel.
