PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is the easier it will roll. We strongly recommend that seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all times. Braking performance and capabilities are decreased when significantly larger/
heavier tires and wheels are used. Do no add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts which increase vehicle
height over the intended height of the Rough Country product purchased. 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.
Due to differences in manufacturing, dimension and inflated measurements, tire and wheel combinations should be test
fit prior to installation. This kit was developed using a 265/75-16 on stock wheel.
