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 extended nitrogen gas shock. Working on the
driver side, install the new shock into the OE location and
secure using the OE hardware. Special note: Make sure to
use loctite and torque to 75 ft lbs. Special note: Tuff
Country EZ-Ride Suspension highly recommends that
the shocks are installed with shock boots. If shock
boots are not installed, damage may occur to the piston
of the new shock. Also, is the OE brake line contacts the
new shock, carefully bend the line to allow clearance.
