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.
