Rough Country 525.20 - Manual

Rough Country recommends this system be installed by a certified technician. In addition to these instructions, profes-
sional 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 vehi-
cle.
Please read instructions before beginning installation. Check the kit hardware against the parts list and kit content on
the back page of these instructions. Be sure you have all needed parts and know where they go.
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 leaking it should be replaced. Steering stabilizers are designed to restrain “bump steering” and front
end vibration, giving added life to tires, ball joints, and other steering components. A multiple stabilizer kit is recom-
mended for vehicles equipped with a snow plow, winch, or larger tires
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 resis-
tance 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 wheel combina-
tion as possible to enhance vehicle stability.
We strongly recommend, because of rollover possibility, that the vehicle be equipped with a functional roll-bar and cage
system. 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.
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 re-
sponsible for any product that is altered. Most states have some type of law limiting vehicle height. The amount of lift
allowed, and how the lift may be achieved, varies greatly. It is the owner’s responsibility to check state and local laws to
ensure that their vehicle will be in compliance.
The installation time for this system is approximately 8 hours.
This suspension system was developed using a 33x 12.50x 15” tire, on an 8” wheel with a 3 5/8” backspacing. Before
installing other combinations, please consult your local tire and wheel specialist.
The following tools and supplies are recommended for proper installation of this kit

ucts.
