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 vent tube opening. On occasion, the
customer may find burping of fluid coming out of the front vent tube.
