USE OF THIS PRODUCT IS ACCEPTANCE OF SELLER’S DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY!
By their very nature, competition components are constantly pushed to their limits. While our components
are designed to withstand intense race conditions, it is impossible to control the quality of installation or
the varying conditions in which they are used. It is for this reason that absolutely no warranty or
guarantee is either written or implied. Neither the seller nor the manufacturer will be liable for any loss,
damage, or injury – direct or indirect – arising from the use of or inability to determine the use of any
product. Before using, the user should determine the suitability of the product for its intended use, and
the user shall assume all responsibility in connection therewith. Spohn Performance, Inc. makes no
guarantee as to the legality for any specific class. Spohn Performance, Inc. makes no claims, nor does it

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lift the rear of the truck and support with jack stands by the frame rails. DO NOT
SUPPORT BY REAR END!
2. Place a jack under the rear axle housing to support it, but do not lift.
3. Remove both rear upper control arm mounting bolts and nuts and remove the
factory rear upper control arm. The rear axle housing will shift slightly rearward
(swap one UCA at a time, do each side separately).
4. Install the Spohn control arms using the jack to help position the rear axle
housing. The grease fittings face down. Torque the mounting bolts to 125 ft./lbs.
5. One end of the adjuster is left hand threaded and the other end is right hand
threaded. To adjust the length of your control arms loosen both jam nuts and put a
wrench on the adjuster and turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise to lengthen or
shorten the control arm. Once set, tighten the jam nuts.
6. Jam nuts are known to work loose over time. To prevent this we recommend that
after you have the LCAs set to your desired length you apply some REMOVABLE
strength (Blue) Loctite® to the threads and then tighten up the jam nuts on each
end of the adjuster.
7. Safely lower the truck to the ground. Installation is complete.
