Install WARRIOR front cross member using the bolts you removed in step six (6) above with flat
washers, PLUS two(2) additional _” x 1” bolts supplied, also with flat washers and nuts. Tighten all
six (6) bolts, three (3) on each side, after all have been installed. Tighten factory bolts to factory

Measure 44 _” from the center of the front leaf spring mounting hole on your new WARRIOR
front bracket to the frame, make a scribe mark on the frame. Clamp rear WARRIOR bracket
to frame so measurement of 44 _” is centered in middle of hole in rear bracket. Before welding
be sure your new shackle will look like the picture A-4. If your not sure, install the front leaf
spring in the WARRIOR front bracket, install your warrior H-shackle to the rear of the spring,
install new bushings in the WARRIOR frame bracket, hook up the H-shackle to the frame
bracket and compare to picture A-4. Do not tighten bolts. If necessary, adjust the frame
bracket on the frame slightly to make it similar to picture A-4. The shackle should be straight
down to approximately 10 degrees forward, but no more. If you have after market springs this
measurement may vary slightly, so clamp shackle hanger to frame at that distance and
assemble the system. With vehicle back on the ground, adjust placement of shackle hanger to
assure the shackle will be pointed towards the front of the vehicle slightly at an angle of 0 to 10
degrees. Mark that location and then weld the hangers in place.
