104. Locate the new rear sway bar end links. Locate (8)
PB4902 poly bushings from hardware bag 14040PL. Also,
locate (4) S10026 sleeves from hardware bag 14040SL.
Install the new poly bushings and sleeves into each end of
the new rear sway bar end link. Special note: Make sure
to use a lithium or moly base grease prior to inserting
the new bushings and sleeves into the new rear sway
bar end links. This will increase the life of the bushing
as well as prevent squeaking.

washers and (4) 1/2” unitorque nuts from hardware bag

sway bar end link into the stock upper and lower location
and secure using the new 1/2” x 3” bolts and hardware. Do
not tighten at this point.
Repeat procedure on the
passenger side. Add some thread locker or lock tite to all
(4) new 1/2” x 3” bolts and torque to 65 ft lbs.

vehicle.

Congratulations, installation complete
Special note: After the completion of the installation,
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends taking
the vehicle to an alignment shop and having a proper
front end alignment performed.
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends that a
complete re-torque is done on all bolts associated with
this suspension system. It is the customers
responsibility to make sure that a re-torque is
performed on all hardware associated with this
suspension system after the first 100 miles of
installation. It is also the customers responsibility to
do a complete re-torque after every 3000 miles or after
every off road use. Neglect of following these steps
could cause brackets to come loose and cause serious
damage to the suspension system and to the vehicle.
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension packages (2) sets of
instruction sheets with this box kit. (1) is for the
installer and (1) is for the customer. The (1) for the
customer has some post installation procedure
literature and it is the installers responsibility to make
sure that the customer receives a copy of the
installation manual along with the literature.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free
to contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country
dealer.
