Installation
‰ 1. REMOVE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT (OE)
REAR SWAYBAR LINKS
 Remove the original mounting hardware that
secures the rear swaybar links to the swaybar and
chassis.
 Discard original rear swaybar links, but retain
mounting hardware.
‰ 2. DETERMINE PROPER LENGTH OF
ADJUSTABLE SWAYBAR LINKS
The Adjustable Rear Swaybar Links can be adjusted to
any length between 7” and 10-1/2” (measured from center-
to-center of bushings). However, the three Recommended
Lengths indicated in the chart below will suit most applica-
tions.
 Choose the Recommended Length from the fol-
lowing chart that corresponds with the amount of
rear suspension lift on your vehicle.
 Rotate the rear swaybar until the distance be-
tween the original mounting holes on the sway-
bar and chassis is equal to the Recommended
Length* for your vehicle.
 Rotate swaybar up and down to simulate full sus-
pension travel. Check center of swaybar to ensure
it does not contact axle housing.
 Also check angle of swaybar swing-arms in rela-
tion to lower rear suspension arms. Optimum
performance will be achieved when these compo-
nents are close to parallel.
 If you did not achieve the desired results with
Recommended Length, fine tune the length until
desired results are achieved.
‰ 3. MODIFY CONNECTING ROD
For applications with less than 4” of Suspension Lift, it may
be necessary to cut some thread material from each end
of the Connecting Rod (A).
HINT: No cutting is required for vehicles with 4-6” of Sus-
pension Lift – proceed directly to Section 4.
 Remove Bushing Eyelets (C) from both ends of the
Connecting Rod (A).
 Refer to the following list to determine proper Con-
necting Rod (A) length for your application.
 Using illustration below as a reference, mark each
end of the Connecting Rod (A) indicating the ap-
propriate locations to cut. HINT: Remove same
amount of thread material from each end.
