bushings and (4) S10026 sleeves from hardware bag

bracket to allow for proper brake line clearance.

cle to the ground.

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 responsibil-
ity 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
responsibility to do a complete re-torque after every
3000 miles or after every off road use. Neglect of follow-
ing these steps could cause brackets to come loose and
cause serious damage to the suspension system and to
the vehicle.

Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension packages (2) sets of
instruction sheets with this box kit. (1) is for the installer
and (1) is for the customer. The (1) for the customer has
some post installation procedure literature and it is the
installers responsibility to make sure that the customer
receives a copy of the installation manual along with the
literature.

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