Black Diamond adjustable rear track bar for
JEEP WRANGLER (TJ)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
Installation requires a professional mechanic. Prior to beginning, inspect the vehicles steering,
driveline, and brake systems, paying close attention to the suspension link arms and bushings,
anti-sway bars and bushings, tie rod ends, pitman arm, ball joints and wheel bearings. Also check
the steering sector-to-frame and all suspension-to-frame attaching points for stress cracks. The
overall vehicle must be in excellent working condition; repair or replace all worn parts.
Read instructions several times before starting. Be sure you have all needed parts and
know where they install. Read each step completely as you go.
NOTES:
• The instructions below detail only the installation of the adjustable rear track bar. Refer to the
main instruction form supplied with the lift system for all other installation steps.
• This track bar only fits vehicles equipped with a 4”-6” lift system and should be compatible with
lift systems from most reputable manufacturers.
• In addition to the adjustable track bar supplied, any TJ equipped with a 6” lift will also require
the track bar bracket supplied with the suspension lift system to be retained. Track bar
brackets supplied with a 4” lift system may be removed provided that the maximum adjustment
on the Black Diamond track bar is not exceeded. Otherwise, the bracket supplied with the lift
system must be retained.
• A foot-pound torque reading is given in parenthesis ( ) after each appropriate fastener.
• Do not fabricate any components to gain additional suspension height.
• Paint or undercoat all exposed metal surfaces.
• Prior to attaching components, be sure all mating surfaces are free of grit, grease,
undercoating, etc.
• A factory service manual should be on hand for reference.
• Use the check-off box “” found at each step to help you keep your place. Two “” denotes
that one check-off box is for the driver side and one is for the passenger side. Unless
otherwise noted, always start with the driver side.
