assembly. Any competent exhaust shop can handle this modification easily.

the axle. (10)
7R Install the U-Bolts on the axle and slip the axle bracket over the U-Bolt on the bottom side of
the axle. Use masking or duct tape to secure them. Place the sway bar assembly under the
axle and slip the U-bolt legs through the sway bar brackets. Place washers and nylock nuts on
the U-Bolt. Snugly fasten the nylock nuts a bit, but do not fully tighten at this time.
