14. 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 1/2” tall giving the
Shockwave an eye-to-eye measurement
of 14 1/2" to 15”.
15. 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.
16. Apply thread sealant to the air fitting
and screw it into the Shockwave.
17. Install the Shockwave or CoilOvers
using the 1/2" x 2 1/4" bolt and Nylok
nut on top and the 7/16” Nylok nut on the
lower stud mount.
18. You can now go back and snug all
of the Nylok nuts. This must be done at
ride height.
12. Check the length of the upper bar; it
should be 9 ¼” C-C. Bolt the axle tabs
to the setting jig as specified on the
previous page. Then place the other
end into the cradle. Both ends use a
5/8” x 2 3/4" and should not be fully
tightened yet. For now just the let axle
tabs sit on the axle.
13. Before welding these tabs to the
axle you will need to center the axle and
set pinion angle. We used a plum on the
outside of the quarter panel to center the
axle left to right. Setting the pinion angle
is explained on a previous page.
This
must be done at ride height.
