PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
As a general rule, the taller a vehicle is, the easier it will roll. 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 de-
creased when larger/heavier tires and wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving. Do not add, alter, or fabri-
cate any factory or after-market parts to increase vehicle height over the intended height of the Rough Country product pur-
chased. 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 responsi-
ble for any product that is altered. If question exist we will be happy to answer any questions concerning the design, func-
tion, and correct use of our products.
This kit in intended for use with lifted 2005-20 Tacoma applications, in particular 3.5” of lift,
to allow additional upper control arm movement and clearance between the upper strut tower and the
control arm.
NOTICE TO 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.
