Installation Instructions
1. Raise and support vehicle at a safe, comfortable working height. Let the front suspension hang
freely.
2. Remove the coil spring and shock absorber. Refer to a factory service manual for proper
disassembly procedure.
3. For air spring clearance some
trimming must be done on the outer lip
of the coil spring pocket. This is what it
should look like after cutting.
4. This is best done with a cut off
wheel or plasma cutter. Grind all cuts
smooth when finished.
Allowing the shockwave will rub will
result in failure, this is not a
warrantable situation.
5. The domed portion of the
Shockwave will hit the coil spring
retainer. This lip must be removed.
6. The factory upper bushing cup must
also be removed.
7. Apply thread sealant to a 90 degree
air fitting and screw it into the top of the
Shockwaves. The fitting location can
be rotated by twisting the bellow while
holding the shock body.
