Loop to loop style end link installation:

1. To begin installation, block the rear tires of the vehicle so that the vehicle is stable and can’t roll forward or backwards.

2. Working on the driver side, remove the stock sway bar end link from the stock location. The stock end link may be dis-
carded. Save the stock mounting hardware. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.

3. Locate the new sway bar end link, poly bushings and sleeves. Install the new poly bushings and sleeves into each end
of the new end links. Special note: Make sure to use a lithium or moly base grease prior to inserting the new bush-
ings and sleeves into the new end links. The will help increase the life of the bushings as well as help prevent
squeaking.

4. Working on the driver side, install the new end link into the stock upper and lower location and secure using the hard-
ware that was removed. Make sure to add some thread locker or lock tite and torque to 32 ft lbs. Repeat procedure
on the passenger side.

Congratulations, installation complete!

Special note: After the completion of the installation, Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends taking the
vehicle to an alignment shop and having a proper front end alignment performed.

Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends that a complete re-torque is done on all bolts associated with this
suspension system. It is the customers responsibility to make sure that a re-torque is performed on all hardware
associated with this suspension system after the first 100 miles of installation. It is also the customers responsi-
bility to do a complete re-torque after every 3000 miles or after every off road use. Neglect of following these steps
could cause brackets to come loose and cause serious damage to the suspension system and to the vehicle.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country dealer.
