PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is the easier it will roll. 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.
Braking performance and capabilities are decreased when significantly larger/heaver tires and wheels are used. Take
this into consideration while driving. Also, speedometer recalibration is necessary when larger tires are installed.
Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts which increase vehicle height over the intended height
of the Rough Country product purchased. Mixing component brands 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.
This 2 ” suspension system was developed for 31x10.50x15 tire on an after market 8” wide wheel with 3.75” of back
spacing. The use of stock wheels with larger than stock tires may cause the tire to come in contact with the lower
control arm at full turn. The use of aftermarket wheels is recommended to avoid this. On models outfitted with extra
bolt-on equipment and accessories, Rough Country offers new coil spring isolator pads made from polyurethane to
boost ride height 3/4" and these may be needed to maintain a level performance look. Rough Country Hydro
shocks are also available for this application.
NOTICE TO DEALER AND VECHICLE OWNER
Any vehicle equipped with any Rough country product must have the “Warning to Driver” decal installed on the sun
visor or dash. The decal is to act as a constant reminder for whoever is operating the vehicle of its unique handling
characteristics. INSTALLING DEALER—It is your responsibility to install the warning decal and to forward these in-
stallation instructions on to the vehicle owner for review and to be kept in the vehicle for its service life.
