front wheel.
2. Jack the rear of the vehicle with the floor jack
under the differential and place jack stands un-
der the frame just in front of the lower control
arm frame mounts. Leave the jack stands high
enough to let the floor jack down and still have
the rear tires suspended in the air. Keep the
floor jack under the differential with slight pres-
sure for support.
3. Remove the rear wheels.
4. Unbolt and remove the rear track bar from the
vehicle. Save the hardware for reuse.
5. Unbolt and remove the rear shocks from the ve-
hicle. Save the hardware for reuse.
6. Unbolt the sway bar end links and remove
them from the vehicle. Save the hardware for
reuse.
7. Unbolt the brake line bracket from the frame.
Save the hardware for reuse.
8. Unclip the ABS line from the axle.
9. Lower the rear differential so that the springs
come loose. Remove the OE coil springs and
the OE isolators. Label the springs as to which
side they were removed, Left and Right so that
they are reinstalled in the side in which they
were removed.
Install Rear Suspension
1. Install the rear track bar relocation bracket (82-
TM20013) into the original track bar mounting
pocket using the supplied 1/2” x 3” bolt and
supplied spacer (35-TM30013).
2. Use the holes in the track bar bracket as a guide
to center punch and drill the mounting holes in
the axle mounting pocket. Drill the holes using a
5/16” drill bit.
NOTE
You may need to adjust the 4WD rod to engage
the 4WD. It is very important that the shifter
pivot rod protrudes through the self-aligning
bearing on the pivot bracket approximately 3/8”.
By bending the opposite bracket on the Transfer
Case, you can easily achieve this.
