Mountain Off Road 8795-5 - Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR S.R.S.™ 8795-5.
Please read Terms and Policies on page 2
This system fits 1987-1995 Jeep® YJ Wrangler vehicles. It consists of the front brackets and hard ware
to install them only. No shackle attachment is provided with this part number. Before starting installation,
check the frame to make sure it is in good condition, is straight and has no heavy rust. Only install it on
vehicles in good sound condition. This system will work with stock or most aftermarket front bumpers, with
or without a winch. No welding is required for installation.
LEAF SPRINGS: This system has been designed to work with stock and aftermarket leaf springs. It has
been tested with springs up to 3.5" of lift over stock and works fine. It will work with spring under (stock) or
over the axle (custom).
PITMAN ARM: You must use a stock pitman arm. If a aftermarket pitman arm is used that has more drop
then the stock arm it may contact the tie rod upon suspension compression.
DRIVE SHAFT: The front drive shaft will need to have a longer slip-yoke installed. Due to the action of the
suspension movement the stock slip-yoke will not have enough length or movement. We recommend call-
ing the following drive line shop: Tom Wood’s Custom Drive Shafts, 1-877-497-4238 (toll free).
TIRE SIZE: Stock leaf spring equipped Jeeps can run up to a 30" tall tire without tire to fender contact.
2.5” lift spring equipped Jeeps can use up to a 31” tall tire, or up to a 32” tall tire if the bump stop is low-
ered one inch, and a one inch body lift is installed. 3.5” to 4” lift spring equipped Jeeps can use up to a 33”
tall tire (mounted on a 8” wide wheel) if the bump stop is lowered two inches and a 1” body lift is installed.
Tires taller then 33” plan on several modifications (Bump stop, body lift, fender trimming etc.).
BRAKE HOSES: The stock brake hoses will work if you are using stock leaf springs under the axle. If you
have any lift in your springs, or a spring over axle conversion, the stock brake hoses will have to be re-
placed with longer units. Please call for these hoses if you need them, we stock extended stainless steel
braided hoses for Jeep® vehicles.
TRAC BAR and ANTI SWAY BAR: It is mandatory that you keep the trac bar and anti-sway bar in place
when using this shackle reversal system. If you desire full suspension articulation M.O.R.E.™ suggests
that you install a pair of Quick Disconnects on the anti-sway bar and use our SlipLoc™ Trac Bar. These
items are in our catalog.
FIT and TOLERANCES: All parts in this system are the results of countless hours of research, testing,
fitting and refining. Jeep® frames have a wide tolerance on bolt hole centers from frame to frame. This is
why M.O.R.E.™ has installed several “slots” in which to mount our bracketry. In addition to the factory
tolerances, most people install other then factory equipment such as bumpers, springs etc. M.O.R.E.™
has done the best job we can to insure that our parts fit with all of the possibilities. However, you may
find it necessary to grind, elongate, bend, or force the parts in this system to fit on your rig. Please use
common sense when installing these parts and let us know how we can improve them. Thank you.
