Front end installation:
1. To make installation easier, Tuff Country recommends to
remove the front bumper from the stock location. If you
desire to remove the front bumper, take special care
during removal due to a wireing sensor that controls the Air
bag system. Once the front bumper is removed, set all the
stock hardware and bumper aside until the shackle
relocation kit has been installed.
2. To begin installation, block the rear tires of the vehicle so
that the vehicle is stable and can’t roll backwards. Safely lift
the front of the vehicle and support the frame with a pair of
jack stands. Place a jack stand on both the driver and the
passenger side. Next, remove the front wheels and tires
from both sides.
3. Working on the driver side, remove the stock shock from
the stock upper and lower mounting point and save the
stock hardware for later re-installation. The stock shock
may be discarded. Special note: New longer front
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 23” fully extended
nitrogen gas shock. Repeat procedure on the passenger
side.
4. Working on the driver side, disconnect the stock brake
line bracket from the stock frame mount location. Save the
stock hardware and let the stock brake line bracket hang.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
5. Place a pair of hydraulic floor jacks under the front axle.
Place one hydraulic floor jack on the driver side and one on
the passenger side.
