1. Locate your new control arms in the kit. Identify which is driver side and which is passenger side. Your
kit will come with 4 control arms. The two longer control arms with bends in them are the front two that
you will need here. With the end of each control arm closest to the bend being the front and the bends
pointing inward, the grease zerks in the rear should point downward. If you get the two control arms
mixed up, your zerks will point upward and you will not be able to access the zerk for greasing the arms.
2. Re-using the factory hardware, bolt your new control arms into place. You may need to adjust the axle up
or down with the floor jack to get your bolt holes to line up, as your new arms are 5/16” longer than the
factory arm.
3. At this point it is easiest to install your new track bar relocation bracket now. Follow the instructions
included with your front track bar relocation kit to complete this step. You can lower the axle down
low to get best access to the areas where you will need to drill holes. Once you’ve completed this
process, disconnect your track bar from the bracket and let it hang freely once again. You will re-attach it
at the end of the assembly.
4. Lower the axle as low as possible and install the new coil springs. Of the 4 springs you receive in the kit,
the two narrow taller springs are for the front. There are no left or right designations on these springs.
Slide them into place and rotate them clockwise until the very end of the coil butts up against the
positioning notch in the coil bucket on the axle. Raise the axle to hold the springs in place.
5. Locate your new anti-sway bar end links. Your kit will have included two pairs of different lengths. The
shorter of the two pairs are the front pair. Bolt these into place using the factory hardware at the lower
end, and the new supplied hardware at the upper end.
6. Locate your new front shocks and shock boots. Assemble the boots to the shocks using the included zip
ties, and adhere the supplied shock decals to the body of the shock. These shocks will have a loop mount
on the bottom and a stem mount on the top. Re-use the factory bottom bolt and the new supplied stem
hardware to bolt these into place.
7. Bolt the brake line brackets you removed in the first phase back into place.
8. Re-attach your track bar to the relocation bracket you installed in step 3.
9. Re-attach your steering stabilizer in its factory location.
10. You have now completed the front suspension installation. Double check to ensure that every bolt is
securely tightened, then re-install your tires, remove the jack stands, and lower the vehicle back onto the
ground.
REAR END INSTALLATION - Phase 3: Teardown
1. For best results, put the vehicles transfer case into 4-HI, then make sure the vehicle is in first gear, and
block the front tires. Start by raising the rear of the vehicle by the rear axle and supporting the vehicle at
the frame with jack stands. Make sure to get it raised fairly high, so there is plenty of room to lower the
axle for changing out the springs. Lower the jack so that the frame is resting on the stands, but keep it
holding the axle up so that the tires are not touching the ground. Once it is raised, remove the rear tires.
2. You should now be able to raise and lower the axle with the floor jack. If while raising the axle you start
to lift the vehicle off of the jack stands, you’re raising the axle too far. You can now begin removing
factory suspension components.
3. Under the Jeep, there is a metal bracket securing the parking brake cables to the body to support the
slack. You will need to remove this bracket entirely, and it will not be re-used.
4. Unbolt and remove the factory anti-sway bar end links.
5. Unbolt and remove the factory shocks.
6. Unbolt the panhard bar (aka track bar) from the axle end and leave it hanging from the end mounted to
the frame.
7. Unbolt the bracket holding the soft brake lines to the frame.
8. Lower the axle as far down as possible. You should have enough room now to remove the rear coil
springs.
9. Raise the axle up to give yourself room to access the lower control arm bolts.
10. Unbolt and remove the lower control arms.
