15. Remove the hydraulic floor jacks from under the lower

16. Install the tires and wheels and lower the front of the
vehicle to the ground.
17. With the weight of the vehicle on the ground and working
on the drivers side, install the front lower end link to the lower

Repeat procedure on the passenger
side.
Congratulations, installation complete!
Special note: After the completion of the installation,
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension recommends taking
the vehicle to an alignment shop and having a proper
front end alignment performed.
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 responsibil-
ity 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 follow-
ing these steps could cause brackets to come loose and
cause serious damage to the suspension system and to
the vehicle.
Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension highly recommends
that a copy of the rear view mirror hanger, the warning
decal and a copy of the installation manual are given to
the customer once the installation is completed and the
customer picks up their vehicle.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free
to contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country deal-
er.

Working on the driver side, zip tie the ABS line to the upper
