INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
*** READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION***
To install your WARRIOR SR 180 SYSTEM, be sure your jeep is on a level surface before
removal of front wheels and tires. You will need jack stands or a way to support your axle and your
chassis before you begin installing your new kit. If you have after market springs you must verify your
vehicle wheel base. The original location of your housing is very important, measure your wheel base
before beginning any work. Remember, your new kit was designed to fit with all factory springs.
After market springs may alter this wheelbase and your new kit may have to be adjusted accordingly.
Please read the instructions completely and understand all the provisions before you begin. If you
have any questions about your installation, call our factory direct technical department and ask for
assistance at 1-888-220-6861. AFTERMARKET LEAF SPRINGS may be longer. If they are you
may have to adjust the placement of your rear shackle hanger to insure that the prescribed angle for
the shackle is maintained!
***ALL WELDING MUST BE DONE BY A CERTIFIED WELDER***
1) Make all necessary measurements and make notes before jacking vehicle and removing
wheels.
2) Jack up front of jeep, put on frame supports (jack stands). Behind the rear of the front leaf
springs, firmly place on the frame to suspend entire front of jeep off the ground. Be sure jeep
is level and secure. Shake jeep to be sure it is stable.
3) Remove front wheels for ease of installation.
4) Remove front u-bolts (4). Raise front housing up and out of your way with a floor jack, support
housing with additional jack stands.
5) You should now be able to remove both front leaf springs completely from the jeep. Remove
the stock spring bushings on both ends of both front leaf springs and replace with the
polyurethane bushings supplied in your kit.
6) Remove both front shackle brackets from your front cross member. Retain all four (4) bolts, as
you will need these with your new front cross member. Remove front rivet from each side of
the frame and drill out hole, (1/2” drill bit), to except a new _” bolt included in installation kit.
Do this to both sides.
NOTE: the frame width on CJ7’s vary slightly, most are 27 9/16” which our kit is designed for. If your
frame is slightly wider, call the factory for assistance.
