wheels are off the ground.

for later use. See Photo 1

5. Using a 10MM socket, remove the brake line bracket from the stock location.
6. Locate the brake line bracket and install using the stock
hardware. Install the stock brake line on the other end of
the bracket using the supplied 1/4” X 1” bolts. See PHOTO
3. Use caution when moving the brake line to not kink
the metal line.
7. Push down on the axle to allow room for the coils to be
removed. Remove coil springs.
8. Install the new coil spring (Longer Coil) with the supplied
3/4” spacer as shown in Photo 4 making sure the stock
isolator is in place above the new spacer.
9. Install the Rough Country Performance 2.2 shocks in the
factory location with the factory bolt in the lower shock
mount. Tighten the lower using a 18mm socket and
wrench and the upper using a 9/16” wrench. See Photo 5.

fications.

the upper hardware using a 18mm wrench and a 19mm wrench on the ball joint end. This link will be relocated to the
front.
13. Install the factory rear sway bar link in place of the factory front sway bar link. Attach the swivel end of the link to
the factory sway bar using the stock hardware. Line up the eye end of the link to the factory mount on the axle, at-
tach using the factory hardware. Tighten the upper using a 18mm and 19mm wrench, and lower using a 18mm

cause a computer error with the Jeep’s traction control system and will result in odd handling and poor performance.
