30. Locate the new sway bar relocation brackets. Also,
locate (4) 12 mm x 60 mm bolts, (4) 12 mm flat washers and
(4) 12 mm lock washers from hardware bag 54070NB1.
Working on the driver side, install the new sway bar reloca-
tion bracket bracket between the sway bar and the OE
mount and secure using the new 12 mm hardware. Do not
tighten at this point.
Repeat procedure on the passenger
side. Once both sides have been attached add loctite on
each new 12 mm bolt and torque to 65 ft lbs.

31. Remove both hydraulic floor jacks from under the lower
control arms.

32. Working on the driver side, use a grease gun to grease
the newly installed upper control arm bushings. Repeat pro-
cedure on the passenger side. Special note: It is highly
recommended to grease these bushings every time you
have the oil changed in your vehicle. This will increase
the life of the bushing along with helping eliminate
squeaking.

33. Check and double check and check again to make sure
all steps have been performed properly with the front end.

34. Install the tires and wheels and carefully lower the vehi-
cle to the ground.

35. To begin installation, carefully block the front tires and
wheels so that the vehicle can not roll forward. Safely lift the
rear of the vehicle and support the vehicle with a pair of jack
stands. Place a jack stand on both the driver and the pas-
senger side. Next, remove the rear wheels and tires from
both sides.

36. Place a hydraulic floor jack under the driver and pas-
senger side of the rear axle.

37. Working on the driver side, remove and save the shock

hardware. Special note: The OE shocks will NOT be long
enough once this suspension system has been installed.
If you have not already ordered your rear shocks, please
contact Tuff Country or your local Tuff Country dealer
and order your new rear shocks. Tuff Country recom-
mends install a 26” fully extended nitrogen gas shock.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.

38. Working on the driver side, remove the OE emergency
brake cable bracket from the axle. Save the hardware.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
