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.
