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.
