Thank you for choosing Rough Country for your suspension needs.
Rough Country recommends a certified technician installs this system. In addition to these instructions, professional
knowledge of disassemble/reassembly procedures as well as post installation checks must be known. Attempts to install
this system without this knowledge and expertise may jeopardize the integrity and/or operating safety of the vehicle.
Please read all the instructions before beginning the installation. Check the kit hardware against the parts list. Be sure
you have all the needed parts and understand where they go. Also please review the tools needed list and make sure
you have needed tools.
PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is the easier it will roll. We strongly recommend, because of rollover possibility, that
seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur.
Braking performance and capabilities are decreased when significantly larger/heaver tires and wheels are used. Take
this into consideration while driving. Also, speedometer recalibration is necessary when larger tires are installed.
Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts which increase vehicle height over the intended height of
the Rough Country product purchased. Mixing component brands, lifts, and/or combining body lift with suspension lifts
voids all warranties. Rough Country makes no claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any and all implied claims.
We will not be responsible for any product that is altered.
This kit is packaged as a leveling kit—raising the front 6” and the back 5”. If you desire a different look or if the vehicle
has a tool box or added weight in the rear, please consult with your sales representative about other block and u-bolt
options.
Due to differences in manufacturing, dimension and inflated measurements, tire and wheel combinations should be test
fit prior to installation. For this application we recommend a wheel not to exceed 9” in width with 4.5 “ of backspacing..
Additionally a quality tire of radial design is recommended, not exceeding 35” tall and 12.5” wide. Please note that use
of a 35” x 12.5” tire may require modification to the front valance. If this vehicle was equipped from the factory with 17”
wheels and if purchasing new wheels, the wheel size must not be below 17” but can be larger than 17” due to the vehicle
being equipped with larger calipers /rotor.
An optional kicker Bars Part #1297Box6 is available for this kit. Please contact you local Rough Country Dealer
for more information.
NOTICE TO DEALER AND VECHICLE OWNER
Any vehicle equipped with any Rough country product must have the “Warning to Driver” decal installed on the sun visor
or dash. The decal is to act as a constant reminder for whoever is operating the vehicle of its unique handling character-
istics. INSTALLING DEALER—It is your responsibility to install the warning decal and to forward these installation in-
structions on too the vehicle owner for review and to be kept in the vehicle for its service life.
We hope installing your Rough Country lift kit is a positive experience. Please note that variations in construc-
tion and assembly in the vehicle manufacturing process will virtually ensure that some parts may seem difficult
to install. Additionally, the current trend in manufacturing of vehicles results in a frame that is highly flexible
and may shift slightly on disassembly prior to installation. The use of pry bars and tapered punches for align-
ment is considered normal and usually does not indicate a faulty product. However, if you are uncertain about
some aspect of the installation process, please feel free to call our tech support department at 800-222-7023. We
do not recommend that you modify the Rough Country parts in any way as this will void any warranty ex-
pressed or implied.
