Nissan 04-11 Titan Upper Control Arm Kit

Thank you for choosing Rough Country for all your suspension needs.

Rough Country recommends a certified technician install the parts included. 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 the tool list and make sure you have the necessary tools to install the kit.

As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll. We strongly recommend, because of rollover possibility, that
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.

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.

We will be happy to answer any questions concerning the design, function, and correct use of our products.

This kit in intended for use with lifted Nissan application, in particular 2” and above to allow additional upper
control arm movement and clearance between the upper strut tower and the control arm.

INSTALLING DEALER - it is your responsibility to install the warning decal and forward these installation instructions on

POST INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Check all fasteners for proper torque. Check to ensure there is adequate clearance between all rotating, mobile,
fixed and heated members. Check steering for interference and proper working order. Test brake system.

2. Perform steering sweep. The distance between the tire sidewall and the brake hose must be checked closely. Cycle
the steering from full turn to full turn to check for clearance. Failure to perform inspections may result in component
failure.

3. Re torque all fasteners after 500 miles. Visually inspect components and re torque fasteners during routine vehicle

service.
