Congratulations on your selection to purchase a Tuff
Country EZ-Ride Suspension System. We at Tuff
Country EZ-Ride Suspension are proud to offer a high
quality product at the industries most competitive
pricing. Thank you for your confidence in us and our
product.
The Tuff Country EZ-Ride Suspension product safety
label that is included in your kit box must be installed
inside the cab in plain view of all occupants.
Make sure to use thread locker or loctite on all new and
stock hardware associated with the installation of this
suspension system.
After the completion of the installation, a front end
alignment is required.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Due to the complexity of the Ram’s factory air ride sys-
tem, we highly recommend using only an experienced
suspension specialist for installation. Tuff Country
is not liable for any costs associated with problems
resulting from improper installation of this system.
All pressurized air suspension components contain
high pressure air (up to 220 psi). Extreme caution must
be used during the installation of this system to pre-
vent component damage or personal injury.
Failure to disable the air suspension system prior to
installation can result in excessive leakage from the
system and damage to the air compressor assembly.
Failure to prevent and check for leaks or restrictions
in the air line connections can result in damage to the
air system compressor, and set error codes, and lock
the ASCM. Only the RAM dealership has the ability to
access and reset the ASCM. The recharging of the sys-

tem may also be required as well as in depth diagnos-
tics and recalibration of the system to restore proper
function.
Please be aware that some Dodge Ram owners may
experience a vibration in the front end or a violent
shaking vibration of the front wheels when going over
a bump at certain speeds. This is due to the front dif-
ferential and suspension when Dodge Ram trucks are
in 4x4 mode. These two symptoms are often lumped
together and called a “steering ocsilation” however it
isactually two different problems with the Ram Truck.
The 4HI mode vibration is a vibration or shudder that
occurs when accelerating in 4x4 high mode. This
symptom appears isolated to 1500 non-Mega Cab
model trucks and only when in 4-hi mode. Dodge
could not discover why their stock trucks would do
this for some customers and not others, so the final
official statement from Dodge was that there is no
problem and that all of the new Rams will shudder or
shake when in 4x4 high.
Therefore, after installing this kit on your Dodge Ram
truck, if you experience either of the two symptoms
mentioned above, Tuff Country recommends two
options. 1). Remove the kit from the vehicle and send
it back to the company you purchased it from for a full
refund or 2). Install High angle CV joints that will sta-
bilizethe factory vehicles issues.Important customer

SENSOR LINK INSTALLATION
2013-2015 - Both ends of the OE link can be popped off
from the ball studs
2016-2018 - OE link can be popped off of uppe control arm
mount, but the lower mount on the sensor arm must be
unbolted.
2019+ - Both ends of the OE link can be popped off from
the ball studs.
1. Pull the sensor link off starting with the top, then unbolt
the bottom if 16-18. If you are having a hard time, grab an
open end wrench (8mm) or equivalent to place behind the
link by each ball joint to help pop off evenly.
The safety clips included are used to lock each ball joint
on after installation. They insert from the bottom of each
ball joint in the small pin hole then wrap around the neck
locking them into place. Please remove locking clips from
both ends of the links before installation.
2. Once you have removed the OE links, press on the
new ones until you hear it pop on. If necessary bolt on the
bottom mount if you vehicle fits that year range.

3. Secure the links with the safety clips provided in each
end.
4. Once, both sides are on and secured, turn truck on and
go through settings and turn JACK MODE off.
How to adjust sensor links
1-2 spins make a significant difference when adjusting,
and you must disconnect 1 end to adjust.
To Lower ride height = Adjust links longer
Offroad 2 not working? = Adjust links longer
To lift ride height = Adjust links shorter
Entry mode not working = Adjust links shorter
Congratulations, installation complete!
