Thank you for choosing Rough Country for all your suspension needs.
Rough Country recommends a certified technician install this system. In addition to these instructions, professional
knowledge of disassemble/reassembly procedures as well as post installation checks must be known. Attempts to install
this system without this knowledge and expertise may jeopardize the integrity and/or operating safety of the vehicle.
Please read instructions before beginning installation. Check the kit hardware against the product layout and kit contents
information on these instructions. Be sure you have all needed parts and know where they go. Also please review 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. Seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all
times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur. Generally, braking performance and capability are decreased
when larger/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving. Do not add, alter, or fabricate
any factory or after-market parts to increase vehicle height over the intended height of the Rough Country product pur-
chased. Mixing component brands is not recommended.
Rough Country makes no claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any and all implied claims. We will not be re-
sponsible for any product that is altered.
If question exist we will be happy to answer any questions concerning the de-
sign, function, and correct use of our products.
**Note this kit will only fit a S-10 pickup ext. cab.**
This suspension system was developed using a 265/75-16, tire with 16” x 8” wide wheel with a 4.5” to 5” back-
spacing with minor trimming. If wider tires are used, offset wheels and trimming will be required. This kit was
developed to obtain a front ride height of 25” on newer body style and 26” older body style as measured from
the center of the front wheel to the bottom of the fender well.
NOTICE TO DEALER AND VEHICLE OWNER
Any vehicle equipped with any Rough Country product should have a “Warning to Driver” decal installed on the inside of
the windshield or on the vehicle’s dash. The decal should act as a constant reminder for whoever is operating the vehi-
cle of its unique handling characteristics.
INSTALLING DEALER - it is your responsibility to install the warning decal and forward these installation instructions on
to the vehicle owner for review.
