Front end installation:
1. Working on the driver side, remove the stock sway bar
from the stock sway bar end link and save the stock
hardware for later re-installation. Repeat procedure on the
passenger side.
2. Block the rear tires of the vehicle so that the vehicle is
stable and can’t roll backwards. Safely lift the front of the
vehicle, and support the frame with a pair of jack stands.
Place a jack stand on both the driver and passenger side.
Next, remove the tires and wheels from both sides.
3. Place a pair of hydraulic floor jacks under the front stock
differential and carefully raise up on both hydraulic floor
jacks at the same time until they come into contact with the
front differential.
4. Working on the passenger side, remove the stock track
bar from the stock track bar bracket and save the stock
hardware for later re-installation.
5. Working on the driver side, scribe a mark on the stock
coil spring and another directly across on the stock spring
pocket. Special note: This will allow you to re-install the
stock coil spring back into the stock location. Repeat
procedure on the passenger side.
6. Working on the driver side, locate the top of the stock
shock absorber stud which is located in the engine
compartment. Remove the stock nut, retainer washer and
grommet. Special Note: Dodge has some variations on
the grommet sizes, save the stock grommets, they may
need to be re-installed. Repeat procedure on the
passenger side.
7. Working on the driver side, remove the (3) stock nuts
from the upper shock tower and set the stock upper shock
tower aside for later re-installation. Repeat procedure on
the passenger side.
8. Working on the driver side, remove the stock bolt that
connects the stock shock to the stock lower mounting point.
Save the stock hardware for later re-installation. Remove
the stock shock from the stock location. Special Note: To
make shock removal easier, remove the stock shock
by pulling the stock shock from the engine compart-
ment. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
9. Carefully lower down on both hydraulic floor jacks at the
same time allowing enough room for the stock coil spring to
be removed. Working on the driver side, remove the stock
coil spring and set aside for later re-installation. Next,
remove the stock isolator pad and save for later
re-installation. Remove the stock ring that has the stock
bolts connected to them and discard. Repeat procedure on
the passenger side.
10. Lower down on the hydraulic floor so that the stock coil
spring and the new upper coil spring spacer can be
installed.
11. Working on the driver side, install the stock coil spring
back into the stock location. Special Note: Refer to the
mark that was scribed in step # 5, this will allow you to
re-install the stock coil spring back into the stock
location. Place the stock rubber isolator pad on the top of
the stock coil spring and then insert the new coil spring
