NOTE: On 2010-Up models, the
installation of the caliper bolt spac-
ers (90-6736 2 per side) will be nec-
essary to keep the end of the bolts
from contacting the brake rotor.
NOTE: For 2012-Up models, the
brake caliper mounting bracket holes
will need to be drilled out to 5/8”.
Also the casting nubs on the caliper
mounting brackets (the bottom flat
surface near the mounting holes)
may need to be sanded smooth for
brake caliper installation.
38. Install the tie rod end to the knuckle.
Torque to 111 ft/lbs.
39. Repeat the installation on the other
side of the vehicle.
40. Remove stock brake line bracket from
frame. Carefully remount the brackets
with the supplied brake line drops (90-
3202 drvr and pass) in between
bracket and frame. Use factory hard-
ware to fasten the shorter end of the
bracket to the frame. Position the
drops, best for your application. Use
the supplied hardware from pack (90-
6299) to fasten OE bracket to the new
brake
line drop.
WARNING!: Make sure the brake
lines that you just modified are not rest-
ing against any moving parts.
41. Reinstall the wheels and tires and
lower the vehicle to the ground. Torque
the factory wheels to
150 ft/lbs. If you
are using aftermarket wheels follow the
manufacturers recommended specifica-
tions.
42. Recheck all hardware for proper instal-
lation and torque at this time.
43. Torque the 18MM cam bolts to 180-
200 ft/lbs.
44. On both sides of the vehicle, check the
routing of the brake lines and the ABS
wire harnesses. There must be no
pinching, rubbing, or stretching of either
component. Use zip ties to secure
these items. At full droop, cycle the
steering from lock to lock while
observing the reaction of these
components. Reposition them if
needed.
45. Reconnect the previously removed
positive and negative battery cables.
