Shop Parts in this Guide
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Park vehicle on a clean, level surface and block the wheels for safety.
2. Raise the front (or rear if installing rear kit) of the vehicle.
3. Place jack stands under the frame rails and lower the axle onto the jack stands to remove pressure from shackle assemblies.
4. Remove the stock bolts that secure the stock shackle to the frame and retain stock hardware.
5. Remove the stock shackles.
6. Using the floor jack lower the axle to allow for the installation of the new lifted Rough Country shackles.
7. Install the new Rough Country shackles using the supplied hardware as shown. If shackle or spring bushings need to be replaced do so at this time. Leave hardware
loose.
8. Jack up the vehicle and remove the jack stands. Lower the vehicle to the ground.
9. Bounce the vehicle to settle suspension. Tighten the uppers and lower bolts to 30-35 ft-lbs.
POST INSTALLATION
1. Check all fasteners for proper torque. Check to ensure there is adequate clearance between all rotating, mobile, fixed and heated members. Check steering for interference and proper working order. Test brake system.
2. Perform steering sweep. The distance between the tire sidewall and the brake hose must be checked closely. Cycle the steering from full turn to full turn to check for clearance. Failure to perform inspections may result in component failure.
3. Re torque all fasteners after 500 miles. Visually inspect components and re torque fasteners during routine vehicle service.
4. Readjust headlights to proper settings.
Note: Additional shackle length will change caster and driveline angles. Axle shims may be required to correct these angles and any driveline vibrations experienced after installation.
It is the ultimate buyers responsibility to have all bolts/nuts checked for tightness after the first 500 miles and then every 1000 miles. Wheel alignment, steering system, suspension, and driveline systems must be inspected by a qualified professional mechanic at least every 3000 miles
