26. Working on the driver side, install the end link to the sway
bar and secure using the OE hardware. Make sure to use
loctite and torque to 40 ft lbs. Repeat procedure on the pas-
senger side.
27. Working on the driver side, install the lower shock to the
lower mount using the OE hardware. Make sure to use loc-
tite and torque to 85 ft lbs. Repeat procedure on the pas-
senger side. The OE rear shocks will be long enough
once this suspension system has been installed but Tuff
Country highly recommends replacing the rear shocks.
If you have not already ordered your rear shocks, please
contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country dealer
and order your new rear shocks. Tuff Country recom-
mends install a 26” fully extended nitrogen gas shock.

ferential.
29. Check and double check to make sure all steps were
performed properly on the rear end. Install the tires and
wheels and carefully lower the vehicle to the ground.

ing on the drivers side, install the front lower end link to the
lower control arm using the OE hardware. Make sure to use
loctite and torque to 40 ft lbs. Repeat procedure on the pas-
senger side.
Congratulations, installation complete!
Special note: After the completion of the installation,
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends taking
the vehicle to an alignment shop and having a proper
front end alignment performed.
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends that a
complete re-torque is done on all bolts associated with
this suspension system. It is the customers responsibil-
ity to make sure that a re-torque is performed on all
hardware associated with this suspension system after
the first 100 miles of installation. It is also the customers
responsibility to do a complete re-torque after every
3000 miles or after every off road use. Neglect of follow-
ing these steps could cause brackets to come loose and
cause serious damage to the suspension system and to
the vehicle.
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension highly recommends
that a copy of the rear view mirror hanger, the warning
decal and a copy of the installation manual are given to
the customer once the installation is completed and the
customer picks up their vehicle.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free
to contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country deal-
er.
