Special note: If the vehicle that you are working on is a
soft top, please follow step # 19 - 24.

Special note: If the vehicle that you are working on is a
hard top, please skip to step # 25.

19. Carefully lower down on both hydraulic floor jacks until
the rear coil springs can be removed. Working on the driv-
er side, remove the stock coil spring. Set the stock coil
spring aside for later re-installation. The stock upper isola-
tor can be removed and discarded. Repeat procedure on
the passenger side. Special note: Make sure to keep the
driver and passenger 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.

20. Locate the new rear coil spring spacers. Also, locate the
stock driver and passenger side coil springs. Working on
the driver side coil spring, place the new rear coil spring
spacer on top of the stock coil spring and install the stock
coil spring and new rear coil spring spacer back into the
stock location. Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
Carefully raise up on both hydraulic floor jacks until the
stock coil springs and spacer seat properly into the upper
and lower locations.

21. Working on the driver side, carefully push the stock
ABS clip back into the bottom side of the stock frame rail.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side. Special note:
Take care not to damage the stock ABS clip during
installation.

22. Locate the stock brake line hardware. Working on the
driver side, re-install the stock brake line bracket to the side
of the stock frame rail using the stock hardware. Repeat
procedure on the passenger side.

23. Locate the stock lower shock mounting hardware.
Working on the driver side, install the stock shock into the
stock lower mounting location and secure using the stock
hardware. Make sure to use thread locker or loctite and
torque to 65 ft lbs. Repeat procedure on the passenger
side.
