from hardware bag 20801NB. Install the bushings and
sleeves into the eyelet ends of the new extended radius

into the new extended radius arms. This will help
increase the life of the bushings as well as prevent
squeaking.

Also, locate the top stock bolt that connected the stock
radius arm to the stock front twin eye beam axle. Working on
the driver side, install the new driver side radius arm to the

the stock hardware. Make sure to use some thread locker or
loctite. Torque the top stock bolt to 145 ft lbs. and the shock
bracket hardware to 45 ft lbs. Special note: A good way to
tell the difference between the new driver and passenger
side extended radius arms is when they are installed,
they will angle towards the center of the vehicle then out
to the new extended radius arm relocation brackets.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.

radius arm to the stock front twin eye beam. Working on the

loctite and torque to 145 ft lbs. Repeat procedure on the

passenger side.

extended radius arm into the newly installed driver side
extended radius arm relocation bracket and secure using the
new cam bolts and hardware. Make sure to add some thread
locker or loctite and torque to 95 ft lbs. Special note: For
