knowledge of disassemble/reassembly procedures as well as post installation checks must be known. Attempts to install
this system without this knowledge and expertise may jeopardize the integrity and/or operating safety of the vehicle.

PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
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.
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 kit is an add on kit—it will not lift your vehicle without additional product. This kit is used to lower the upper and
lower control arms. Lowering the arms mounting point reduces control arms angle and substantially improves ride quality and handling. This kit can be used with stock lower control arms and with stock upper control arms at 4.5” of lift. For
additional lift longer adjustable control arms are needed. To determine length to adjust arms use chart below.
