122. Locate the new rear shocks. Special Note: New
longer rear shocks are needed once this suspension
system has been instead and the new rear shocks
need to be ordered as a separate part #. If you have not
already ordered your new rear shock, please contact
Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country dealer and
order your new rear shocks. Tuff Country recommends
using a 26” fully extended nitrogen gas shock in the
rear of your vehicle. Locate (4) new S10107 over size
washers from hardware bag 55907NB. Also, locate (4)
PB8297 front upper shock bushings from 55906NB1. Install
the new bushings and proper sleeves into the lower eyelet
of your new shocks. Special note: The new bushings
and sleeves are supplied with your new shocks. Also,
make sure to use a lithium or moly base grease prior to
inserting the new bushings and sleeves into the new
shocks. This will increase the life of the bushings and
will help prevent squeaking. Install the new shock boots
onto the new shocks. Special note: The new shock boots
are not included with this suspension system and the
new 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. Install the S10107 over size washer and upper
shock bushing onto the stud of the new shocks. Working on
the driver side, install the new shock into the stock upper
location, install the new upper shock bushing and new over
size washer and secure the new shock into the stock upper
location using the new nut. Special note: The new upper
shock nut is supplied with your new shocks. Do not
tighten at this point. Repeat procedure on the
passenger side.
123. Locate the stock rear lower shock hardware that was
removed in step # 103. Working on the driver side, install
the new shock into the stock lower location using the stock
hardware. Torque the lower stock hardware to 65 ft lbs.
and torque the stock upper nut to 18 ft lbs.
124. Re-install the tires and wheels and safely lower the
vehicle to the ground.

fluid drained out. Top of the brake fluid with the proper
brake fluid and bleed the brakes. Refer to the owners

lines.
126. Check and double check to make sure that all steps
were performed properly. And then check them again.
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
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 responsibility 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 vehicle.
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension packages (2) sets of
instruction sheets with this box kit. (1) is for the
installer and (1) is for the customer. The (1) for the
customer has 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
dealer.
