Tuff Country 43000 - Jeep Wrangler 3 kitt - Manual (Page 6)

30. Locate the new rear shocks. Special note: New longer
rear shocks are needed, if you have not already ordered
your new rear shocks, please contact Tuff Country or
your local Tuff Country dealer and order the proper
shocks. Tuff Country recommends using a 30” fully
extended nitrogen gas shock. Also, locate (2) new rear
clevis mounts from hardware bag 43000NB1. Once the new
shock boots have been installed, install the new clevis mount
into the upper bushing in the upper eyelet. Special note:
Make sure to use a lithium or moly base grease prior to
inserting the new bushings and sleeves into the new
lower eyelet of the new shock. This will increase the life
of the bushing as well as prevent squeaking.
31. Working on the driver side, install the new shock into the
stock location and secure using the stock hardware. Make
sure to use loctite and torque the lower mounting hardware
to 75 ft lbs and the upper mounting hardware to 18 ft lbs.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.

hardware bag 43000NB1. Also, locate (2) 1/4” x 3/4” bolts,
(4) 1/4” USS flat washers and (2) 1/4” unitorque nuts from
hardware bag 43000NB. Working on the driver side, install
the new brake line relocation bracket to the OE frame rail
using the OE hardware. Make sure to use loctite and torque
to 8 ft lbs. Install the stock bracket to the newly installed
brake line bracket and secure using the new 1/4” hardware.

bushings and (4) S10026 sleeves from hardware bag
43000NB1. Install the new bushings and sleeves into the
new end links. Special note: Make sure to use a fair
amount of lithium or moly base grease before installing
