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 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. 

 

This suspension system was developed using a 285/70/17, tire with factory wheels. 

Note 

if wider tires are used, offset 

wheels will be required and trimming will be required. 
 

**Note**

 The electric power steering must be unplugged before any of the steering components are removed. Failure to 

do so may cause damage to the electric power steering. 

 

If you have any questions concerning the design, function, and correct use of our products please contact us at 800-222-
7023.

cle of its unique handling characteristics.
