Tuff Country 33920 - Dodge 94-02 Ram 2500 / 3500 3 kit - Manual (Page 8)

free to contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country dealer and order your new rear shocks. Tuff Country
recommends installing a 30” fully extended nitrogen gas shock in the rear end of your vehicle. Install the new
bushings and proper sleeves into each end of the new shocks. Special note: The new bushings and sleeves are
supplied with your new shocks. Also, make sure to use a lithium or moly base grease prior to inserting the
new bushings and sleeves into the new shocks. This will increase the life of the bushings and will help
prevent squeaking. Install the new shock boots onto the new shocks. Special note: The new shock boots are not
included with this suspension system and the new shock boots need to be ordered as a separate part #. If
you have not already ordered your new shock boots, please feel free to contact Tuff Country or your local
Tuff Country dealer and order your new shock boots. Locate the stock rear shock hardware that was removed in
step # 48. Working on the driver side, install the new shock into the stock upper and lower location. Make sure to
use thread locker or lock tite. Torque the stock upper and lower hardware to 75 ft lbs. Repeat procedure on the
passenger side.
56. Carefully remove both hydraulic floor jacks from under the vehicle.
57. Check and double check to make sure that all steps were performed properly. Install the new tires and wheels on
both the driver and passenger side and safely lower the vehicle to the ground.

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.
