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 packages some post
installation procedure literature and it is the installers
responsibility to make sure that the customer receives a
copy of the installation manual along with the literature.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free
to contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country deal-
er.
