open end of the new brake line over the stock brake line.
Now measuring from the stock brake line hole up 2 1/2”,
carefully drill a 5/16” hole into the stock shock/coil spring
bucket. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.

(2) 5/16” unitorque nuts from hardware bag FBLNB2.

on the driver side, install the new e-clips to the stock brake
line on the back side of the newly installed brake line reloca-
tion bracket. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
Special note: Once the completion of the suspension
system has performed 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.
54. If you have not already done so, remove all the hydraulic
floor jacks from under the vehicle. Check and double check
to make sure that all steps have been performed properly
and check again. Install the tires and wheels and carefully
lower the vehicle to the ground.

newly installed sway bar relocation brackets, perform this
step now that the weight of the vehicle is on the ground.
Front end installation completed!
Rear end installation:
Part # 26814 does not include anything to complete the
rear end of the vehicle. Part # 26813 is the part # for the
rear end and needs to be ordered as a septate part #.
56. To begin installation, carefully block the front tires and
wheels so that the vehicle can not roll forward. Safely lift the
rear of the vehicle and support the vehicle with a pair of jack
stands. Place a jack stand on both the driver and the pas-
senger side. Next, remove the rear wheels and tires from
both sides.
57. Working on the driver side, remove the stock shock from
the stock location. The stock shock may be discarded but
save the stock upper and lower hardware. Repeat procedure
on the passenger side. New longer rear shocks are need-
ed after this suspension system has been installed and
the rear shocks need to be ordered as a separate part #.
If you have not already ordered your rear shocks, please
feel free to contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff
Country dealer and order your rear shocks. Tuff Country
recommends installing a 30” fully extended nitrogen gas
shock in the rear.
