Important Customer Information

General Motors has introduced a new transfer case
option that uses the name “Auto Trac”. Auto Trac is a
full time 4WD system. This options pertains to the
Tahoe (2 or 4 door), Suburban and some pick up
trucks. To identify this, see the transfer case selec-
tion panel located on the dash board. Below the 2HI
button it will read “Auto 4WD” or “Auto”. Vehicles
with the “Auto Trac” transfer case may encounter a
front drive line vibration when the lift kit is installed.
After installation, if the vehicle that you are working
on encounters any front driveline vibration, please
feel free to contact Tuff Country @ (800) 288-2190 or
your local Tuff Country dealer and order part #
C9598DL to replace your stock driveline.

General Motors has also introduced and upgrade on
the front ABS system for vehicle manufactured be-
tween 1992—1995. If the vehicle that you are working
on has the upgrade ABS system on it, the new spin-
dle design WILL NOT work due to the ABS upgraded
sensor. If this is the case on the vehicle that you are
working on and you still want to install a Tuff Country
EZ-Ride Suspension, please contact Tuff Country or
your local Tuff Country dealer and order part # 14843.
NON SPINDLE DESIGN

After the completion of the installation a front end
alignment is required. Also an exhaust modification
