31. Locate the new front shocks. Special note: New
longer front shocks are needed, if you have not already
ordered 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. Locate the new poly bushings and
proper sleeves that are packaged with the new shock and
install them into the lower eyelet of the new shocks.
Special note: Make sure to use a lithium or moly base
grease prior to inserting the new lower shock bushings
and sleeves into the new lower shock eyelet. This will
increase the life of the bushing as well as prevent
squeaking.
32. Locate the new shock boots. Special note: Tuff
Country highly recommends installing shock boots
once the new shocks have been installed and the
shock boots need to be ordered as a separate part #. If
you have not already ordered your new shock boots,
please feel free to contact Tuff Country or your local
Tuff Country dealer and order your new shock boots.
Tuff Country EZ-Ride suspension offers: Red, light
blue, dark blue, black, yellow or gray shock boots. If
shock boots are not installed on the new shocks, dam-
age could occur to the piston of the new shock. If the
new shock is damaged due to not having a shock boot
installed, warranty will be void. Install the new shock
boots onto the new shocks and secure the lower part of the
new shock boots to the new shocks with the new shock ties
that are provided with the new shock boots.
