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 responsibility 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 respon-
sibility to do a complete re-torque after every 3000 miles or after every off road use. Neglect of following these
steps could cause brackets to come loose and cause serious damage to the suspension system and to the vehi-
cle.
