PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
WARNING :
- As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is the easier it will roll. We strongly recommend seat belts and shoulder harnesses should be worn at all times. Avoid situations where a side rollover may occur.
- Braking performance and capabilities are decreased when significantly larger/heaver tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving. Also, speedometer recalibration is necessary when larger tires are installed.
- Do not add, alter, or fabricate any factory or after-market parts that increase vehicle height over the intended height of the Rough Country product purchased. Mixing component brands, lifts, and/or combining body lifts with suspension lifts voids all warranties. Rough Country makes no claims regarding lifting devices and excludes any implied claims. We will not be responsible for any product that is altered.
- If you desire a different look or if the vehicle has a toolbox or added weight in the rear, please consult with your sales representative about block /u-bolt options.
This 2” kit was developed for a 305/70R17 tire on the factory 17” wheel.
