PRODUCT USE INFORMATION.
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll. Offset, as much as possible, what is lost in rollover
resistance by increasing tire track width. In other words, go "wide" as you go "tall". Many sportsmen remove their
mud tires after hunting season and install ones more appropriate for street driving; always use as wide a tire and
wheel combination as possible to enhance vehicle stability.
Seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur.
Braking performance and capability are decreased when significantly 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
The required installation time for this system is approximately 2 hours (see recommended tool list on last page).
You don’t have to lift the hood, spend time removing batteries, on-board electrical components, or the air intake to
get to the upper strut mounts and no strut compressors required.
This suspension system was developed to run up to 265/70/R16 or 245/75/R16 tire on a 7” or 8” wide wheel. Before installing other combinations, please consult your local tire and wheel specialist.
This suspension lift is designed for use on a 2003 – 2005 2wd or 4wd Liberty only. Because of modifications
made to the Liberty after the first year of production this kit will not work on the 2002 Liberty without modification.
If questions exist we will be happy to answer any questions concerning the design, function, and correct use of
our products.

frame rails with jack stands. NEVER WORK UNDER AN UNSUPPORTED VEHICLE.

sway bar bolts and sway bar links. Retain for reuse.

7. If you are working on a 4wd Liberty use a 36mm socket and remove the CV axle nut from the spindle. For
2wd this step will be skipped. See Figure 5. This is done to prevent any damage to the axle shaft from
over extension while installing the lift spacer.
8. Mark the lower control arm alignment cams and the lower arm. Loosen the Lower Control Arm Cam bolts
as shown in Figure 6 and adjust them so the bolts are towards the outside of the Liberty. Do not remove
these bolts.
