75. Locate the stock upper skid plate and stock hardware
and install it back into the stock location. Install the tires and
wheels and carefully lower the vehicle to the ground.
Front end installation is complete. Double check that all
steps have been completed properly and that all hard-
ware has been torqued properly.
Rear end installation:
76. To begin installation, block the front tires of the vehicle so
that the vehicle is stable and can’t roll forward. Safely lift the
rear of the vehicle and support the frame with a pair of jack
stands. Place a jack stand on both the driver and passenger
side. Next remove the rear tires and wheels from both sides.
77. Place a hydraulic floor jack under each side of the axle.
78. Working on the driver side, un-bolt the parking brake
cable bracket from the spring hanger and from the leaf
spring and save the stock hardware. Repeat on the pas-
senger side.
79. Working on the driver side of the rear axle, remove the
bolt that holds the brake line bracket to the top of the axle
tube. The stock bolt can be discarded.
80. Working on the driver side, remove the stock shock from
the stock upper and lower location and save the lower hard-
ware for re-install. Special note: New longer rear shocks
are needed, if you have not already ordered your new
shocks, please contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff
Country dealer and order the proper shocks. Tuff
Country recommends using a 30” fully extended nitro-
gen gas shock. Repeat on passenger side.
81. Working on the driver side, remove the stock u-bolts from
the stock location and discard the stock u-bolts and hard-
ware. Set the stock upper and lower u-bolt plates aside.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side. Carefully lower
down on the hydraulic floor jacks at the same time allowing
enough room for the new add-a-leafs and blocks to be
installed.
82. Locate the new TCI-R38 rear add-a-leaf. Also, locate (2)
3/8” center pins and nuts from hardware bag CB38. Working
on the driver side, place a clamp on each side of the leaf
spring close to the eye of the spring to holds the leafs from
shifting when the stock center pin is removed. Once clamps
are in place, remove the stock center pin from the leaf spring
and let the bottom overload leaf be removed. Place the new
rear add-a-leaf into the leaf pack in order of length so that it
is between the next longest and shortest leaf. Using the new
3/8” center pin and re-installing the stock overload leaf,
install the center pin back through all of the leafs and install
3/8” nut. Now tighten the new nut and using clamps, clamp
all leaf springs together and keep tightening them while the
nut is being tightened. Once the nut is completely tight, trim
the excess threads off of center pin and remove the clamps.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
83. Locate the new rear lift blocks. Working onto the driver
side, install the new block onto the spring perch. Special
note: The new block is tapered and you need to make
sure to install it so that the taller end is facing the rear
of the vehicle. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
84. Locate the new u-bolts and the new u-bolt hardware.
Also, locate the stock upper and lower u-bolt plates. Raise
up on the rear axle so that the lift block seats up against the
bottom of the leaf springs. Install the new u-bolts, hardware
and stock bracket. Torque the new u-bolts to 120 ft lbs.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.

line bracket and the mount on the axle housing, spacing the
bracket upwards.

from hardware bag 56900NB1. Locate (2) 5/16” x 1” bolts,
(4) 1/4” USS flat washers and (2) 5/16” unitorque nuts from
hardware bag 56900NB bag # 2. Working on the driver side,
