11. Reinstall wheels and tighten lug nuts, working in a “star pattern.” Place Jeep on level ground. Recon-

nect the drive shaft making sure to properly align your marks.

Install JK Geometry Correction Front Control Arm Drop Brackets using instructions included in kit.

You may now tighten all fasteners to factory specifications.* Too tight is NOT just right.

TIP: It is good practice to mark each major bolted suspension connection such as these with a paint pen.

Draw a line that runs from bolt head or nut to the adjacent bracket material. This will allow a visual inspec-

tion to easily catch bolts that work loose. After approximately 100 miles, you should perform a complete

visual inspection an re-torque any suspect bolts as well as your wheel lug nuts.

15. AEV recommends having a professional alignment done at this point. While your Jeep is on the align-

ment rack is the correct time to use the AEV ProCal to assist with centering the steering wheel. Please

follow the instructions that come with your ProCal.

16. AEV recommends 28–30 PSI tire pressure with our Suspension Systems.
