UNIVERSAL SHOCK HOOP
GENERAL NOTES:
• These instructions are also available on our website at www.synergymfg.com
Check the website for any updated instructions and additional photos for
reference.
• Cutting and grinding of stock suspension components is required for installation.
• A welder and cutting tools will be needed to install kit.
• Note: the pictures and steps in these instructions were done on a CJ frame without
the body on it. Installation will vary slightly depending on shock configuration,
axle location and vehicle year / model.
• These instructions cover the installation of the shock hoops; they do not cover
removal of stock suspension components as this is a universal kit to be used on a
wide variety of vehicles.
HOOPS
1) Before beginning installation of PPM-5012 shock hoop kit, be sure to determine
desired axle placement and all unnecessary stock suspension components on the
frame have been removed to allow the shock hoops to be installed.
2) It is best to set up shock hoops with the suspension at full bump.
a. Set desired caster for ride height and then proceed to bring suspension to
full bump.
3) With lower shock mount position approximately determined, (i.e. on top of axle,
behind axle, on axle centerline, etc.) Position the fully bottomed out shock and
measure to determine the necessary height of main hoop.
a. Cut ends of hoop down accordingly to achieve proper shock hoop height.
Note – shock hoop frame pads are angled out at 12 degrees so that cuts to
the ends of shock hoop can be made straight for ease of installation.
b. Once satisfied with shock hoop height and angle, tack frame pads and
hoops into place. Note – it’s probably best for clearance issues to mount
the limit strap frame pad towards the rear and the dimple died pad towards
the front.
4) With hoops securely tacked, determine upper and lower shock tab placement and tack
into place.
