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/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into
consideration while driving. Also, speedometer recalibration is necessary when larger tires are installed.
Do no 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, with this suspension lifts voids all warranties.
Rough Country makes no claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any and all implied claims. We will not be re-
sponsible for any product that is altered.
Due to differences in manufacturing, dimension and inflated measurements, tire and wheel combinations should be test
fit prior to installation. For the 4” 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 33” tall and 12.5” wide. For the 6” 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.
NOTICE TO DEALER AND VEHICLE 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
construction and assembly in the vehicle manufac-
turing 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 disas-
sembly prior to installation. The use of pry bars and
tapered punches for alignment is considered normal
and usually does not indicate a faulty product. How-
ever, 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 rec-
ommend that you modify the Rough Country parts in
any way as this will void any warranty expressed or
implied.
