later re-installation. The shock may be discarded. Special
note: New longer rear shocks are needed, if you have
not already ordered shocks, please contact Tuff Country
or your local Tuff Country dealer and order the proper
shocks. Tuff Country recommends using a 30” fully

passenger side.

cable from the (2) OE mounting points and save the hard-
