sheet addresses both 2” and 3” body lifts for Jeep TJ
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
hardware against the parts list. Be sure you have all the needed parts and understand where they go. Also please re-
view 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 2”or 3” combination body lift / replacement body bushing 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 character-
istics.
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.
