Please follow instructions carefully:
1. To begin installation, block the rear tires of the vehicle so
that the vehicle is stable and can’t roll backwards. Safely lift
the front of the vehicle and support the vehicle with a pair of
jack stands. Place a jack stand on both the driver and the
passenger side. Special note: Place the jack stands on
the body mounts. Next, remove the front wheels and tires
from both sides.
2. Working on the driver side, remove the stock sway bar
from the frame mounting location. Save the hardware.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
3. Working on the driver side, remove the stock sway bar
end link from the stock axle location. Save the hardware.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side. Set the sway bar
aside.
4. Place a pair of hydraulic floor jacks under the front driver
and passenger side twin eye beam axles. Carefully raise up
on the hydraulic floor jacks until they come into contact with
the front twin eye beam axles. Also, place a pair of hydraulic
floor jacks under the driver and passenger side stock radius
arms. Carefully raise up on the hydraulic floor jacks until they
come into contact with the stock radius arms.
5. Working on the front driver side twin eye beam axle,
remove the stock mounting hardware that connects the front
twin eye beam axle to the stock bracket. The stock hardware
may be dis-
carded.
