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 responsibility 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.
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
dealer.
Special post installation procedure: Tuff Country EZ-
Ride Suspension highly recommends adding a
minimum of 1 pint, but no more that 1 1/2 pints, of
proper front differential fluid into the front differential.
To achieve this, you may have to fill the differential
with it on its side or you may have to insert the fluid
through the vend tube opening. On occasion, the
customer may find burping of fluid coming out of the
front vent tube.
