PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
Part # 1307 Bag fits 07-UP vehicles with fabricated & cast steel lower control arms. For models equipped with a alumi
num lower control arm Part # 1308 Bag is available.
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur.
Generally, braking performance and capability are decreased when larger/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving. Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts to increase vehicle height over the intended height of the Rough Country product purchased. Mixing component brands is not recommended.
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 suspension system was developed using a 285/70/17, tire with factory wheels. Note if wider tires are used, offset wheels will be required and trimming will be required.
