just separates from the spring. Now remove the frame bolts and the shackle bolts on the leaf spring. Repeat on the
other side.
7. Prior to installation of new springs, thoroughly lubricate the new spring poly eye bushings and sleeves with “water
resistant” lithium based grease. Loosely attach the spring to its hangers, snug up but do not completely tighten yet.
Make sure spring centering pin aligns and seas into spring perch hole.
8. Installing new u-bolts: Tighten u-bolts to 65 ft. lbs. of torque. Tighten spring pivot bolts to 35ft. lbs. on both frame
mounts and shackle mounts.
9. Assemble and install new front shock absorbers Part #60501 (Boot installation and poly hourglass bushing installation
can made easier with the use of rubbing alcohol sprayed on the poly as a lubricant.). Tighten upper stem type mounts
only until bushings swell slightly, then torque lower mounts to 45 ft lbs.
10. Install tires/wheels, remove jack stands and lower vehicle to floor. Tighten the front spring’s shackle to 95 ft. lbs. and
the stationary end to 105 ft. lbs. (If kit includes pitman arm, you may want to do pitman arm instructions before
proceeding to rear of vehicle)
11. Once again as on the front (following same basic steps). Place safety (jack) stands under rear frame rails.
12. Disconnect tracking bar from frame rail.
13. Install new springs with shims. (torque u-bolts 65 ft. lbs.) When installing the springs the thick part of shim goes toward
front of jeep. Attach tracking bar
14. Assemble the rear shock absorbers (Part# 60502) with loop bushings and corresponding sleeves and install shocks.
Torque upper and lower mounts to 45-ft. lbs. On some models there may not be adequate clearance between the shock
body and the axle tube. In this situation your only option is to relocate the shock bracket.
15. Install tires, remove jack stands, and lower vehicle to floor. Tighten the shackle to 95 ft. lbs. and the frame end to
105ftlbs.
POST INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check all fasteners for proper torque. Check to ensure there is adequate clearance between all rotating, mobile, fixed and
heated members. Check steering gear for interference and proper working order. Test brake system.
2. Perform steering sweep. Check to ensure brake hoses have sufficient slack and will not contact rotating, mobile, or fixed
members, adjust lines/brackets to eliminate interference and maintain proper working order. Failure to perform
inspections may result in component failure.
3. Bump stops and extensions must be in place on all vehicles! Note: allowing suspension to over extend by neglecting to
install or maintain stops and extensions may cause serious damage to OE and related components.
4. Re torque all fasteners after 500 miles. Visually inspect components and re torque fasteners during routine vehicle
service .
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
It is the ultimate buyer’s responsibility to have all bolts/nuts checked for tightness after the first 100 miles and then every
1000 miles. Wheel alignment steering system, suspension and driveline systems must be inspected by a qualified,
professional mechanic at least every 3000 miles.
