PRIOR TO INSTALLTION NOTE:
Under hard acceleration in 4x4 high, stock Dodge Ram’s often have a front end vibration or shutter. This vibra-
tion or shutter exist due to the design of the motor and differential mounts and is inherent in the vehicle. This
vibration or shutter may be more pronounced after a leveling kit is installed due to additional torque from modi-
fied driveshaft angles. This does not indicate a problem, but should be a consideration prior to installation
.
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. 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.
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. If question exist we will be happy to answer any ques-
tions concerning the design, function, and use of our products.
This suspension system was developed using a 33X12.50/17, tire with factory wheels.
