As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll. Offset, as much as possible, what is lost in rollover resistance by increasing tire track width. In other words, go “wide” as you go “tall”. 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, lifts, and/or combining body lift with suspension lifts voids all warranties. 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. Braking performance and capability are decreased when significantly larger/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving.

Locate fuel supply line coming from tank on the drivers’ side frame rail. There are 2 steel lines, the top line (smaller of the 2 lines) is for fuel return to the tank, the bottom line is the fuel supply line (see Figure 1) and is the larger of the 2 lines.
STEP 1:
Cut and remove a section of the fuel supply line; approximately 6 inches will be enough. Use a flaring tool on both ends; this will help keep the fuel hose on the line.
