(2) 5/16” unitorque nuts from hardware bag FBLNB2.
Working on the driver side, secure the new front brake line
relocation the to the previously drilled hole using the new

er or loctite and torque to 12 ft lbs. Repeat procedure on the

on the driver side, install the new e-clips to the stock brake
line on the back side of the newly installed brake line relo-
cation bracket. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
Special note: Once the installation of this suspension is
completed and the weight of the vehicle is on the
ground, check to make sure that the stock brake line
does not rub on the inside of the tire.
35. Locate the new front shocks. 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 shock in the front. Locate the
stock lower shock mounting hardware. Also, locate the new
upper stem mount hardware that was packaged with the new
shocks. Working on the driver side, install the new shocks
into the stock location using the stock lower hardware and
the new upper hardware. Make sure to use thread locker or
loctite and torque the bottom hardware to 65 ft lbs. and the
upper hardware to 18 ft lbs. Repeat procedure on the pas-
senger side. Special note: Tuff Country highly recom-
mends installing shock boots onto the new shocks. If
shocks boots are not installed, damage may occur to the
piston of the new shock. If you have not already ordered
your new shocks boots, please contact Tuff Country or
your local Tuff Country dealer and order some new
shock boots. Tuff Country offers, dark blue, light blue,
gray, black, red or yellow shock boots.

newly installed sway bar relocation brackets, perform this
step now that the weight of the vehicle is on the ground.
