37. Locate the new rear springs. Remove the bushings and
sleeves from the new springs and add some lithium or moly
base grease to the bushings and sleeves and re-install them
back into the new springs. This will help prevent squeaking,
the life of the bushings and will also improve ride quality.
38. Working on the driver side, install the new rear spring
into the OE location using the OE hardware. Special note:
The new rear springs are shipped with a sticker show-
ing the front portion of the new rear springs. If this
sticker is not on the new rear springs, make sure that
the springs are installed with the thick part of the axle
shim towards the rear of the vehicle. Make sure to add
loctite to the spring hanger hardware and torque to 95 ft lbs.
Special note: Do not tighten the shackle hardware at
this time. This hardware will be torqued once the weight
of the vehicle is on the ground. Repeat procedure on the
passenger side.
39. Locate the proper u-bolts. Also, locate (8) 1/2” u-bolt
washers and (8) 1/2” high nuts from hardware bag 12NW.
Working on the driver side, install the u-bolts into the OE
location and secure using the new hardware. Torque to 85 ft
lbs. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
40. Locate the new rear shocks. Special note: New longer
rear shocks are needed 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 26”
fully extended cellular shock in the rear. Also, locate the
new rear clevis mount from hardware bag 43801NB1. Install
the new clevis mount into the upper end of the rear shocks.
