Important information that needs to be read before
installation begins:

If the vehicle that you are working on was
manufactured between November of 1993 and
February 1994 this suspension system will not work.
Unfortunately, Tuff Country EZ-Ride suspension
does not offer a suspension system that will fit on
vehicles manufactured between these dates. If the
vehicle that you are working on was manufactured
between these dates, STOP and return this box kit to
the company that you purchased it from (with a
receipt) for a full refund.

Special note: Dodge comes with two different size
pitman arms. Part # 70500 will work on the 1/2 ton
and 3/4 ton vehicles that were manufactured from
1994—2000. Also, part # 70500 will work on the 1/2
ton that was manufactured in 2001. Part # 70501 will
work on the 3/4 ton that was manufactured in 2001
and all 3/4 vehicles that were manufactured in 2002.
The pitman arm is not included with this suspension
system and needs to be ordered as a separate part
number. If you have not already done so, please
contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country
dealer and order the proper pitman arm. Also, the
new pitman arm looks identical to the stock pitman
arm. The new pitman arm has a reverse taper where
the stock tie rod connects to it.

Some Dodge Ram 2500/3500 vehicle come from the
factory with a 2 piece rear drive line. After the
suspension system is installed a vibration may occur
at initial take off. If this is the case on the vehicle that
you are working on, the stock carrier bearing drop
bracket needs to be lowered. Please contact Tuff
Country or your local Tuff Country dealer and order
part # 20824.

If the vehicle that you are working on has a stock
steering stabilizer, the stock steering stabilizer is not
going to be re-installed once the 5” suspension
system has been installed.

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.

If the 3/4 ton or 1 ton that you are working on has a stock
contact over load, the u-bolts that are included in this kit
box will not be long enough, longer u-bolts are going to be
needed. If you have not already done so, please contact
Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country dealer and order
part # 37755
