To properly spread the control arm mount tabs, create a simple tool as shown above.

Spread the mount apart as needed by tightening the nuts against the frame.


8. Once the desired fit is achieved, lube the bolts provided in the kit on both the
threads and shank with anti-seize. Insert bolts and tighten the nuts enough so
that all is secure. Do not fully torque them to specs at this point.

9. Support the assembly by placing the floor jack under the outer portion of the
lower control arm. Reinstall the spring, spindle, and shock. Torque the lower ball
joint castle nut to 80 ft/lbs. Torque the upper ball joint castle nut to 40 ft/lbs.
Reinstall any steering linkage that was removed.
