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 should harnesses should be
worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur.
Also check the steering stabilizer. It is a good idea when adding larger than stock tires to go with a larger bore steering
stabilizer or a dual unit for tires 35” and above. Inspect the stabilizer and replace as necessary.
Braking performance and capability are decreased when significantly large/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take
this into consideration while driving.
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, and/or combining body lift with suspension
lifts voids all warranties. 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.
The relocation brackets are used to flatten out the angle of the control arms to maintain your factory handling charac-
teristics of the vehicle. These brackets are designed to use with Rough Country’s 5” Dodge 2500/3500 kit using factory
control arms or adjustable arms at factory lengths.

characteristics. INSTALLING DEALER—It is your responsibility to install the warning decal and to forward
these installation instructions to the vehicle owner for review and to be kept in the vehicle for its service life.
