Front end installation:

1. 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 vehicle with a pair of
jack stands. Place a jack stand on both the driver and the
passenger side. Special note: Place the jack stands on
the body mounts, this will allow for the new extended
radius arms to be installed.
Next, remove the front wheels
and tires from both sides.

2. Working on the driver side, remove the stock shock from
the stock upper and lower mounting location. Save the stock
lower mounting hardware. The upper mounting hardware
and shock may be discarded. Special note: Some vehicles
come stock with multiple shocks in the front end.
Repeat
procedure on the passenger side. Special note: New
longer front shocks are needed after this suspension
system has been installed and the front shocks need to
be ordered as a separate part #. If you have not already
ordered your front shocks, please feel free to contact
Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country dealer and order
your front shocks. Tuff Country recommends installing
a 20” fully extended nitrogen gas in the front and a 23”
fully extended cellular shock in the front for the auxiliary
shock.

3. Working on the driver side, remove the stock sway bar
from the frame mounting location. Save the stock hardware.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.

4. Working on the driver side, remove the stock sway bar
end link from the stock axle location. Save the stock hard-
ware. Repeat procedure on the passenger side. Set the
stock sway bar aside.

5. Place a pair of hydraulic floor jacks under the front driver
and passenger side twin eye beam axles. Carefully raise up
on the hydraulic floor jacks until they come into contact with
the front twin eye beam axles. Also, place a pair of hydraulic
floor jacks under the driver and passenger side stock radius
arms. Carefully raise up on the hydraulic floor jacks until they
come into contact with the stock radius arms.
