Country Inc. (“Tuff Country” ) suspension products
are warranted to be free from defects in material and

(“Racing is used in its broadest sense, and, for

Important information that needs to be read before
installation begins;
This suspension system WILL NOT work on vehicles
equipped with dual real wheels.
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends the
use of an 8” wheel once part # 16990 has been
installed on a vehicle. If any wheel wider than a 8”
wheel is used, rubbing on the inner fender wheel and
plastic valance will occur.
After the installation is complete, a front end
alignment is required. Also, some vehicles may need
to have an exhaust modification performed.
After completion of the installation and the new tires
and wheels have been installed, trimming of the
plastic valance may be needed. Slight trimming may
be needed when installing a 35 x 12.50.
Before installation begins, Tuff Country EZ-Ride
Suspension highly recommends that the installer
performs a test drive on the vehicle. During the test
drive, check to see if there are any uncommon
sounds or vibrations. If uncommon sounds or
vibrations occur on the test drive, uncommon
sounds or vibrations will be enhanced once the
suspension system has been installed. Tuff Country
EZ-Ride Suspension highly recommends notifying
the customer prior to installation to inform the
customer of these issues if they exist.
New longer front and rear shocks are needed after
this suspension system has been installed and the
front and rear shocks need to be ordered as a
separate part #. If you have not already ordered your
front and rear shocks, please feel free to contact Tuff
Country or your local Tuff Country dealer and order
your front and rear shocks.
Once the installation is complete and a front end
alignment has been performed, test drive the vehicle
to see if there are any front drive line vibrations. If
front drive line vibration occurs, take the front drive
line to a drive line shop and have the front drive line
re-balanced.
