16. One helpful trick to help maintain
ride height and pinion angle while
adjusting is to tack weld a spacer
between the axle and the outside of the
frame as shown in the picture. This
spacer should be 8 3/8” tall giving the
Shockwave an eye-to-eye measurement
of 14 1/2" to 15”.
17. After double-checking pinion angle,
ride height, and axle center the tabs can
be tack welded. Remove the bar to
avoid frying the bushing and finish
welding the tabs to the axle.
18. Apply thread sealant to the air fitting
and screw it into the Shockwave.
19. Install the Shockwaves using the
1/2" x 2 1/4" bolt and nyloc on top and
the 7/16” nyloc on the lower stud mount.
There should be a washer on either side
of the Shockwave on the stud and none
on the upper mount.
20. You can now go back and snug all
of the bar end nylocs. This must be
done at ride height.
21. You can now remove the spacer
from between the axle and frame.
22. The installation is complete but you
want to check clearance of the brake
lines, parking brake cables, vent tubes
and exhaust. For the exhaust you can
either install a turndown or reroute the
exhaust under the axle.
23. Ride height is 14.5”, around 70psi.
