Step 18: Reroute Park Brake Cables. The factory routes the park brake cables over the top of the
crossmember that is just ahead of the rear axle. They were originally held in location by the wireform
‘double pigtail’ you removed in step 14, which will no longer be used. On 2-door models, this removing
the wireform all that is required to provide sufficient length for use with the lift. On 4-door models you
can reroute the cables below the frame crossmember and fuel filler tube by disconnecting their axle-
ends, then secure the cables to the crossmember using the large zip-tie supplied (the black one shown in
Figure 18-1)

Step 19: Install Rear Shocks and Springs. Start with the top of the shocks – they mount directly in place
of the originals using the factory hardware. Next, place each rear spring with the small ‘pigtail’ end on
the axle seat and the factory shallow-cone-shaped isolator balanced on top of each spring. It will be
easiest if one person guides both springs into place while another raises the axle (or lowers the Jeep)
until the springs just touch the frame and hold the isolators in place.
Now attach the bottom of the shocks to the stock mounting locations on the axle using the stock
hardware. The completed installation of the springs should look like figure 19-1.
Step 20: Install New Stabilzer End Links. Assemble both new stabilizer end links by screwing the loose
zerc fitting into the small tapped hole on the ball-jointed end, and insert a bushing and inner metal tube
