C.
Set the upper arm to an initial setting of 17.5” center to center, install the coupler end at the mounting point on the
lower arm with the supplied ½” hardware and the other end at the upper mount on the axle using the factory
hardware. (photo 22)
D.
Repeat steps A – C on the passenger side.
E.
The upper arms may need to be to be readjusted after the installation is complete for proper pinion angle.

Rear track bar bracket and factory track bar
A.
Place the new track bar bracket into the pocket of the factory bracket. Loosely install the 9/16” bolt thru the stock mounting
location from the front to back. This will keep the hardware from interfering with the lower bump stop pad.
B.
Insert the two supplied ½” bolts with washers and nyloc nuts thru the cross member mounting point. Tighten to 60 ft/lbs.
C.
Tighten the 9/16” bolt to 75 ft/lbs
D.
Using the factory hardware, loosely install the factory track bar into the axle housing end then the upper track bar mount.
Again, use the factory hardware and install from the front to the back. (photo 23)
Rear coil springs and sway bar links
A.
Using the factory spring isolator place the rear coils up into the upper mount and over the lower mount. Raise the axle into
place just enough to keep the coil spring from falling out.
B.
Install the supplied links (RE1157). Install the driver side link to the inside of the sway bar and lower axle mounting point.
On the passenger side, install the link on the outside of the sway bar link and lower axle mount.
Rear brake lines and shocks
A.
Remove and replace the rear brake lines with the included stainless steel brake lines. The lines are left and right specific and
when installed the 90 degree leader from the caliper should be leaning away from the tire. (photo 12)
B.
Depending on what shocks have been purchased with the suspension kit it may be necessary to reuse the sleeves and bar
pins from the stock shocks. If this is necessary be sure to lubricate the sleeves or bar pins during removal and most
importantly during re-installation.
Fuel tank and exhaust
A.
Reinstall the fuel tank in the reverse order of removal. Be sure that the hoses do not get bound on any frame rails or cross
members while raising the tank into position. Connect the wire harness and hose on the top of the tank before completely
raising the tank. (photo 24)
B.
Route the e-brake cables below the fuel filler and breather hose so during suspension cycling the cables do not pull on the
fuel hoses. (photo 25)
C.
Re-hang the factory exhaust system and tighten all clamps.
