longer one) will bolt into the front stock
leaf spring mount using the stock

the inside of the car.
13. Raise the axle to ride height.
There should be approx. 14 1/2"
from center eye to center eye on
the Shockwave mounts. 14. Bolt the axle tabs to the upper bar using the
5/8” x 2 3/4" bolt and nyloc as shown in the

15. For now just lay the upper tabs on the axle.
Pinion angle and axle center must first be set.
Centering the axle is best done by leveling the
car and hanging a plum off of the quarter and
measuring to the axle. Pinion angle is explained
on the next page.
