Inc. (“Tuff Country” ) suspension products are
warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship for life if purchased, installed and
maintained on a non-commercial vehicle; otherwise,
for a period of twelve (12) months, from the date of
purchase and installation on a commercial vehicle, or
twelve thousand (12,000) miles (which ever occurs
first). Tuff Country does not warrant or make any
representations concerning Tuff Country Products
when not installed and used strictly in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions for such

installation and maintenance practices of the
automotive industry. This warranty does not apply to
the cosmetic finish of Tuff Country products nor to
Tuff Country products which have been altered,
improperly installed, maintained, used or repaired, or
damaged by accident, negligence, misuse or racing.
(“Racing is used in its broadest sense, and, for
example, without regards to formalities in relation to
prizes, competition, etc.) This warranty is void if the
product is removed from the original vehicle and re-
installed on that or any other vehicle. This warranty
is exclusive and is in lieu of any implied warranty of

Important information that needs to be read and
understood before installation begins;
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends using
a medium off set tire and wheel combination. The
stock wheels will not work in combination with the
new knuckle design.
After the installation is complete, a front end
alignment is required. Also, some vehicles may need
to have an exhaust modification performed.
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends
running a 35” x 12.50” tire for maximum tire
clearance. This tire size in not 100% accurate due to
variations in wheel width, wheel off set, tire
diameters and driving habits.
If any tire larger than a 35 x 12.50 is installed in
conjunction with part # 24950, the Tuff Country
warranty will be VOID.
For a list of all parts, please refer to the parts
description page, at the end of the installation
manual.
Before installation begins, Tuff Country EZ-Ride
Suspension highly recommends that the installer
performs a test drive on the vehicle. During the test
drive, check to see if there are any uncommon
sounds or vibrations. If uncommon sounds or
vibrations occur on the test drive, uncommon
sounds or vibrations will be enhanced once the
suspension system has been installed. Tuff Country
EZ-Ride Suspension highly recommends notifying
the customer prior to installation to inform the
customer of these issues if they exist.
New longer front and rear shocks are needed after
this suspension system has been installed and the
front and rear shocks need to be ordered as a
separate part #. If you have not already ordered your
front and rear shocks, please feel free to contact Tuff
Country or your local Tuff Country dealer and order
your front and rear shocks.
Once the installation is complete and a front end
alignment has been performed, test drive the vehicle
to see if there are any front drive line vibrations. If
front drive line vibration occurs, take the front drive
line to a drive line shop and have the front drive line
re-balanced.
