1. Install the D-shaped poly –bushings onto the bar on each side of the center hump. These bushings will
align with the shock mounts on the axle.
2. With the shocks removed from the lower axle mounts. Place the mounting bolts provided into the holes in
the bottom of the shock mounts so that the threads are pointing downward. The hole that is directly below
the shock will use the special clearance flat head bolt provided. The square shoulders under the bolt head
should press into the hole, which will not allow the bolt to turn.
3. As per diagram, place the U-plates over the bushings on the bar and attach to the plates with hardware pro-
vided.
Leave loose at this time to allow for adjustment later.
