Thank you for choosing Rough Country for your suspension needs.
Rough Country recommends a certified technician installs this system. 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 all the instructions before beginning the installation. Check the kit hardware against the parts
list. Be sure you have all the needed parts and understand where they go. Also please review the tools needed list
and make sure you have needed tools.
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, 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.
This 2 1/2” suspension system was developed for 31x10.50x15 tire on a stock wheel. An after market 8” wide wheel
with 3.75” of back spacing may also be used for larger tires (32” x 11.50”). 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. Due to the inconsistency of vehicles when manufactured and the various options avail-
able, the amount of actual lift gained by this lift kit may vary slightly. 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. Longer shocks are needed on this kit. For
optimum performance RCX 2.2 Series shocks are highly recommended for full suspension articulation and
optimum ride quality.
