Rough Country RC0403 - Manual (Page 2)

POST INSTALLATION
1. Check all fasteners for proper torque. Check to ensure there is adequate clearance between all rotating, mobile,
fixed and heated members. Check steering for interference and proper working order. Test brake system.
2. Perform steering sweep. The distance between the tire sidewall and the brake hose must be checked closely. Cycle
the steering from full turn to full turn to check for clearance. Failure to perform inspections may result in component
failure.
3. Re torque all fasteners after 500 miles. Visually inspect components and re torque fasteners during routine vehicle
service.
4. Readjust headlights to proper settings.
Note: Additional shackle length will change caster and driveline angles. Axle shims may be required
to correct these angles and any driveline vibrations experienced after installation.
It is the ultimate buyers responsibility to have all bolts/nuts checked for tightness after the first 500 miles and then every
1000 miles. Wheel alignment, steering system, suspension, and driveline systems must be inspected by a qualified pro-
fessional mechanic at least every 3000 miles
3/8” Heavy Duty Shackles Plates assembled with Grade 8 Hardware Included.
7. Install the new Rough Country shackles using the supplied hardware as shown. If shackle or spring bushings need
to be replaced do so at this time. Leave hardware loose. See Photo 2.
8. Jack up the vehicle and remove the jack stands. Lower the vehicle to the ground.
9. Bounce the vehicle to settle suspension. Tighten the uppers and lower bolts to 30-35 ft-lbs.
