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. Check the kit

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 the vehicle be equipped with a functional roll-bar and cage system. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be
worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur.
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. We will not be responsible for any product that is altered.
This 1 1/4” body lift kit can be used with Rough Country’s lift kit if desired to allow the fitment of larger tires for off
road use.
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
characteristics.

BODY LIFT PRE INSTALLATION NOTES:
To ensure the SRS system (Air bag system) is not accidentally deployed during installation, always ground yourself
and the vehicle. Exercise extreme caution when working near SRS sensors and wiring. DO not allow anyone near air
bags during the lift kit installation. Accidental deployment can result in serious injury or death. As a precaution, the
negative and positive wire should be disconnected from the battery with the negative wire being removed first. Also
the air bag fuse can be removed from the fuse panel behind the glove box. Check hoses and wiring before and
recheck during installation taking caution to not overextend them.
