Rough Country recommends a certified technician install this system. In addition to these instructions, professional

Please read instructions before beginning installation.
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".
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, lifts, and/or combining body lift with suspension lifts voids
all warranties. 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.
Braking performance and capability are decreased when significantly larger/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this
into consideration while driving.
The required installation time for this system is approximately 2.5 hours. This suspension system was developed using
285x75R16 tire on an 8” wheel. Before installing other combinations, please consult your local tire and wheel specialist.
If questions exist on the design, function, and correct use of our products please contact us at 800-222-7023.

RECOMMENDED TOOLS
FRONT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the vehicle in neutral. Raise the front of the vehicle with a
jack to slightly raise the tires of the ground and support the frame
with jack stands beneath each frame rail behind the lower control
arms. Installation is done one side at a time, starting with the driver
side. The torsion bar adjusters are under the cab of the vehicle at
the rearward end of the torsion bars.
2. Measure or make a note of how much thread is remaining on the
torsion bar adjuster bolt. You will reset the bars at this same
location with the new adjusters. See Photo 1.
