Important
SUSPENSION COMPONENTS THAT HAVE RUBBER
BUSHINGS must be tightened with vehicle on level
ground and at normal ride height. The springs must be
supporting the weight of the vehicle when the hard-
ware is torqued; or else ride comfort could be affected
and premature bushing wear may occur.
RUBBER BUSHINGS MUST NEVER BE LUBRICATED,
as doing so will impair performance and longevity.
COMPATIBLE WITH original 4-link suspension con-
figuration and vehicle ride height up to 6.0”.
REFER TO FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL for informa-
tion and procedures not covered in these instructions.

Installation
‰ 1. REMOVE ORIGINAL REAR UPPER
SUSPENSION ARM
 Raise and support the vehicle chassis with jack
stands positioned in front of the rear lower suspen-
sion arm brackets.
 Raise and support the rear axle housing with a
hydraulic jack. HINT: The axle housing should be
evenly supported, with the suspension at normal
ride height. Do not attempt removal or installa-
tion with the suspension extended, or the axle
drooped, as this will place tension on suspension
arm mounting hardware.
 Remove the parking brake cable and ABS wiring
(if equipped) from upper suspension arm.
