Front End Installation:
1. To begin installation, block the rear tires of the vehicle
so that the vehicle is stable and can’t roll backwards.
Safely lift the front of the vehicle and support the frame
with jack stands. Place a jack stand on both the driver
and passenger side. Next remove the wheels and tires
from both sides.
2. Working on the driver side, remove the stock shock
from the stock upper and lower mounting point and save
hardware for later re-installation. The stock shock may
be discarded. Special Note: New longer front shocks
are needed, if you have not already ordered shocks,
please contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff
Country dealer and order the proper shocks. Tuff
Country recommends using a 20” fully extended
nitrogen gas shock. Repeat procedure on the
passenger side. Special Note: If the vehicle that you
are working on has the dual shock option, remove
both shocks and discard.
3. Working on the driver side, disconnect the stock brake
line at the frame mount. Let the stock brake line hang.
Special Note: Brake fluid is going to leak out, it is a
good idea to place a bucket under the vehicle to
