PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all times.
Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur. Generally, braking performance and capability are decreased when larger/
heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving. Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or
after-market parts to increase vehicle height over the intended height of the Rough Country product purchased. Mixing com-
ponent brands is not recommended.
Rough Country makes no claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any and all implied claims. We will not be responsi-
ble for any product that is altered.
If question exist we will be happy to answer any questions concerning the design, func-
tion, and correct use of our products.
**Note** This kit will not fit trucks with steel arms and knuckles.
**Note** The electric power steering must be unplugged before any of the steering components are removed. Failure to do
so may cause damage to the electric power steering.
This kit is packaged as a leveling kit—raising the front 3.5” and the back 1.75”. 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 op-
tions.
This suspension system was developed using a 32 x 11.5 tire with factory wheels. Examples of tire sizes that can be used
are 285/75R17, 285/65R18, or 285/55R20. Note if wider tires are used, offset wheels will be required and trimming may be
required.
