112. Locate the new rear shocks. Special Note: New longer rear 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 26” fully extended nitrogen gas shock. Also, locate (4) SB34 from hardware
bag 54900SL. Install the new shock eye bushings into each end of the new shocks. Special Note: Make sure to
use a lithium or moly base grease prior to inserting the new bushings into the new rear shocks. This will
increase the life of the bushings as well as prevent squeaking.
113. Locate the stock shock hardware that was removed from step # 98. Working on the driver side, install the new
shocks into the stock location and secure using the stock hardware. Special Note: Make sure to use thread locker
or lock tite. Torque the upper and lower mounting hardware to 32 ft lbs.
114. Re-install the tires and wheels and safely lower the vehicle to the ground.
115. With the new rear brake line being replaced, brake fluid drained out. Top of the brake fluid with the proper brake
fluid and bleed the brakes. Refer to the owners manual for proper instruction on how to bleed the brake lines.
116. Check and double check to make sure that all steps were performed properly. And then check them again.
Congratulations, installation complete.
