Installation:
1. Park the vehicle on flat level ground, set the emergency brake, & block the front tires / wheels.
2. Raise one side of the vehicle at the front & remove the tire / wheel. Support the front axle on jack
stands & remove the nuts & washers from the outside spring u-bolt. To facilitate access &
clearance it may be desirable to remove the rubber mud shields from the inner fender panels.
3. Place the bottom mount over the u-bolt with the upright of the mount angled towards the inside of
the vehicle & re-install the u-bolt nuts & tighten to 85-90 ft. lbs.
4. Bolt your new shock absorber (not provided) to the bottom bracket with the 5/8" x 3" bolt, having
the bolt head & shock towards the outside of the vehicle & nut towards the inside of the vehicle.
Secure with one washer between the bolt head & the shock.
5. Position the top mount against the frame with the 90 degree return resting on the top of the
frame. The shock & the mount should be vertical, or angled slightly towards the rear (not critical).
Mark & drill four holes for 7/16" bolts through the top of the bracket & top of the frame & bolt in
place. **SEE ABOVE NOTE**
Fasten the top of the shock to the top mount with a washer on either side of the shock, then the
9/16" spacer between the shock & the mount.
