INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WAR 3300/3310
FJ Cruiser Front Coil Spring Spacer Kit
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Warrior recommends that this kit be installed by a certified technician. While these instructions are
complete, a thorough professional knowledge of disassembly and reassembly procedures, as well as post-
installation checks is important. Installing this system without this knowledge and expertise may compromise the
operating safety of the vehicle.
Before beginning this installation, take a look at the end of the install instructions. You will find a torque
specification chart. Reference this chart when tightening any bolts. This chart is located toward the end of the
step-by-step instructions.
Disassembly
1. Set the parking brake. You may also want to chock the rear tires.
2. Raise the front of the vehicle and secure it on a level surface with jack stands on the frame.
3. Remove the front tires.
4. Mark each strut driver and passenger so that you do not switch them during re-installation.
5. Unbolt and remove the front skid plate.
6. Unbolt and separate the sway bar end links from the knuckle. Twist the sway bar up and out of the way
as far as you are able to.
7. Remove the cotter pin from the castle nut that holds the upper control arm to the
knuckle. Loosen the nut most of the way, but do not remove. You now need to break
the ball joint taper free from the knuckle. Illustration 1 shows the location at which you
can safely strike the knuckle to break the taper free. Once the taper comes loose,
remove the castle nut. Repeat on both sides of the vehicle.
8. Remove the 3 nuts from the top of each strut that secure the strut to the frame.
9. Remove the lower bolt on each side that secures the strut to the lower control arm.
10. Carefully remove the struts from each side of the vehicle.
11. Test fit the Warrior coil spring spacers to the vehicle by sliding the bracket in place
bolts pointed up. The bolts we use are larger than stock, you may need to drill out the factory holes to
make clearance for the 7/16” bolts in the new spacer.
Assembly
1. Place one of your new front coil spring spacers over the studs on top of each of the struts and use the
factory nuts removed in step 8 above to secure them to the strut. Tighten to torque spec using the
reference chart below.
2. Slide the struts back into place and attach to the lower control arm re-using the factory hardware.
3. Attach top of strut with new spacer installed to the frame bracket using the included flat washers and
nylock nuts.
4. Re-assemble knuckle to upper control arm. Torque down and re-install cotter pin.
5. Install sway bar links back into knuckle.
6. Use chart below to be sure you’ve torqued all bolts and nuts to the proper specification.
7. Re-install lower front skid plate.
8. You may now finish your installation by re-installing your wheels and tires and lowering the vehicle back
onto the ground. Be sure to double check all bolts and nuts, including lug nuts to ensure they are tight.
