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 wh eel 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. Gener­ally, braking performance and capability are decreased when significantly larger/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take
this into consideration while driving.

Any vehicle equipped with any Rough Country product should have a “Warning to Driver” decal installed on the
inside of the windshield or on the vehicle’s dash. The decal should act as a constant reminder for whoever is oper-

ating the vehicle of its unique handling characteristics.
INSTALLING DEALER - it is your responsibility to install the warning decal and forward these installation instructions on
to the vehicle owner for review. These instructions should be kept in the vehicle for its service life.

Prior to beginning this installation it is always good to use a penetrating oil and spray all body mount hardware
that will be removed. Typically the stock body bushings will need to be checked to ensure they are in good con­dition. If the stock body bushings are cracked or deteriorated they must be replaced. This should be performed
as the body lift is installed. Failure to perform this maintenance could jeopardize the operating safety of the ve­hicle.

Refer to last page of this Instruction sheet for Automatic transmission bracket installation.
