Front end installation:
1. To begin installation, 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 the
passenger side. Next, remove the front wheels and tires
from both sides.
2. Working on the driver side, place a hydraulic floor jack
under the front differential. Repeat procedure on the pas-
senger side. Carefully raise up on both hydraulic floor jacks
until they come into contact with the front differential.
3. Working on the driver side, remove the lower mounting
hardware that connects the stock sway bar end link to the
stock lower bracket that is attached to the front axle. Save
the stock hardware for later re-installation. Repeat proce-
dure on the passenger side. Let the stock sway bar hang.
4. Working on the driver side, remove the stock mounting
hardware that connects the stock shock into the stock
lower mount. Save the stock hardware for later re-installa-
tion. Repeat procedure on the passenger side. Special
note: There is no need to remove the shock complete-
ly from the vehicle. Keep the stock shock mounted to
the stock upper mounting location.
5. Carefully lower down on both hydraulic floor jacks until
the front coil springs can be removed. Working on the driv-
er side, remove the stock coil spring. Set aside for later re-
installation. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
Special note: Make sure to keep the driver and passen-
ger side coil springs separate from each other. We
need to make sure that the driver side coil spring gets
installed back into the vehicle on the driver side and
the same with the passenger side.
6. Locate the new front coil spring spacers. Working on the
driver side, install the new coil spring spacer over the stock
bump stop cup. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
7. Locate the stock driver and passenger side coil springs
that were removed in step # 4. Working on the driver side,
install the driver side coil spring into the stock location.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side. Carefully raise
up on both
h y d r a u l i c
floor jacks
until the stock
coil springs
seat properly
into the upper
and lower
locations.
