Thank you for choosing Rough Country for your suspension needs.
Rough Country recommends a certified technician install this system. In addition to these instructions, professional
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.
Please read instructions before beginning installation. Be sure you have all needed parts and know where they go. Also
please review tools needed list and make sure you have all of the needed tools.
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 consi deration 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 designed to level the vehicle, if additional list is desired contact you
nearest Rough Country distributor to discus options available.
