The net amount of ride height increase depends upon the age and use of the vehicle, wheel offset, and numerous other factors. Stated torsion bar ride height in- creases are based upon factory specifications. If the torsion bars were “cranked up” at some point in the past, expect a corresponding reduction in overall height increase with the new torsion keys. Note that torsion bars, like any other spring, are subject to fatigue and sagging over time. Also, torsion bars have different ratings depending on how the vehicle was equipped from the factory. In some cases, installing heavier rated bars (which can be purchased from a dealer) may be the only solution to regaining ride height lost from adding heavy aftermarket accessories, such as a winch bumper or snow plow.

1. Clean the mating surface and the valve hole of the aluminum wheel.
2. Install the tire pressure sensor and the washer to the aluminum wheel, and loosely install the valve nut. Make sure the pressure sensor is resting on the wheel.
NOTE: Install the tire pressure sensor so that the sensor housing surface should not exceed the wheel protrusion to prevent the sensor housing caught to the bead of the tire when assembled the tire.

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.

This kit is designed to allow the installation of hydraulic roller cams in standard Ford 302 HO V8 engines originally equipped with hydraulic roller cams. In order to use this kit, your engine must have two bosses cast into the block (fig. 1) in the lifter valley area. These bosses may or may not be drilled and tapped for 1⁄4″-20 bolts. If yours are not drilled and tapped, then you must be prepared to do so during this installation process. Once you have installed your COMP Cams® Magnum Hydraulic Roller Camshaft per the camshaft installation and degreeing instructions supplied with the cam, you are ready to install the hydraulic roller lifters.
