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. 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.
Due to differences in manufacturing, dimension and inflated measurements, tire and wheel combinations should be test
fit prior to installation. This suspension system was developed using a 30 X 9.50 tire with factory wheels. If bigger/wider
tire are used with the factory wheels or factory offset wheels you must carefully check the clearance during turning between the tires and the lower control arm and the front sway bar link before driving. Installing wider than recommended
tires can cause the tire to come in contact with the rear shock. Always double check for clearance on all tire / wheel
packages.
With the installation of all lift kits and larger tires it is important to check the condition of your steering stabilizer. If the
stabilizer is worn or is leaking it should be replaced. Steering stabilizers are designed to restrain “bump steer” and frontend vibration, giving added life to tires, ball joints, and other steering components. A large bore off-road stabilizer kit is
highly recommended for vehicles equipped with larger tires, please contact your Rough Cou ntry distributor for details.
We hope installing your Rough Country lift kit is a positive experience. Please note that varia tions in construction and assembly in the vehicle manufacturing process will virtually ensure that some parts may seem difficult
to install. If you are uncertain about some aspect of the installation process, please feel free to call our tech
support department at 800-222-7023. We do not recommend that you modify the Rough Country parts in any
way as this will void any warranty expressed or implied.
IMPORTANT PRE—INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
