Product Information

• Product Name: FORD 2021 Bronco Sport 1.5 Lift Kit
• Model Number: 921401000C

Thank you for choosing Rough Country for all your vehicle needs. Rough Country recommends a certified technician install this system. In addition to these instructions, professional knowledge of disassembly/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.

• 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 responsible for any product that is altered. If questions exist, we will be happy to answer them concerning the design, function, and correct use of our products.
• The suspension system was developed using a 245-65/17 tire with 17 x 8 wheels with +38mm Offset. 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-than-stock tires.

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 vehicle of its unique handling characteristics.
