09-UP FORD F150 6” LIFT KIT

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ROUGH COUNTRY FOR 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 parts list. 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. We strongly recommend, because of rollover possibility that

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. If questions exist we will be happy to answer them concerning the design, func-

tion, and correct use of our products.

The 6”suspension system was developed using a 35X12.50/18 tire with 18 x 9 wheel with 4 1/2” backspace. When using

a stock wheel the maximum tire width is 11 1/2”. The lifts were designed to lift the front to level the vehicle. Due to

manufacturing, dimension variances, and inflation all tire and wheel combinations should be tested prior to installation on

all oversized / wider then stock tires We recommend a wheel not exceeding 8" in width be used with a minimum back-

spacing of 4.5" to a maximum of 5".

Some 2011 vehicles will require the EPAS (Electronic Power Assist Steering) plugs to be disconnected prior to

beginning installation of this kit. See installation instructions. Failure to disconnect these plugs may result in

damage to the EPAS module resulting in an error message being displayed, which will require replacement of

the EPAS module

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.
