8. Bolt the large end of the lower bar
(longer one) in the factory leaf spring
mount using the factory bolts.
9. This bushing is polyurethane and is
lubricated at the factory. Future
lubrication can be done with any non-
petroleum based lubricant. All other
bushings are rubber and do not require
lubrication.
5. Slide the cradle into place with the
upper Shockwave mount toward the
rear of the vehicle.
6. You may need to grind the welds
smooth on the bottom of the frame to
allow the cradle to sit properly.
7. The bolt hole just in front of the
Shockwave mount will align with a hole
in the frame to position the cradle. Drill
the rest of the holes with a 5/16” bit
one at a time while threading in a
3/8” x 1” self-tapping bolt. Be careful
not to over tighten these bolts.
10. Secure the axle mount to the leaf
spring pad using the supplied U-bolts.
There is an aluminum bushing that will
slide over the alignment pin.
11. Bolt the lower Shockwave mount
to the axle mount using the ½” bolts.
12. Apply anti-seize to the shock stud
and screw it into the lower shockwave
mount.
13. Swing the lower bar up to the axle
mount and insert a 5/8” x 2 3/4" bolt
and nyloc. This bar should measure
23 1/4" C-C. Do not tighten any bolts
yet.
