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 kit contents list. Be sure you
have all needed parts and know where they go. Also please review tools needed list and make sure you have the tools
needed to install the kit.
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 purchased. 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.
We will be happy to answer any questions concerning the design, function, and
use of our products.
This 6 suspension system was developed using a 37 X 12.5 tire with aftermarket wheels. 20 wheels with 5 1/2 back-
space or an 18 wheel with 5 of backspace will be required to maintain adequate clearance. Stock wheels can be used
with this lift with the addition of a 1/4 wheel spacer. As with any tire and wheel combination it is recommended to trial fit
the tire / wheel to assure there are no clearance problems.
Please note, this lift kit is not recommended for AWD (All Wheel Drive) Models.
TRX models will achieve approximately 1" of additional lift. This lift is not recommended for use on the TRX
models due to possible CV shaft vibration caused by the additional lift. Instead, consider our 4" lift system for
about 5" of lift or replace the TRX struts with standard struts for use with this system.
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 vehicles 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. These instructions should be kept in the vehicle for its service life.
