E. Adjust rear upper control arms’ length to an initial setting of 32-7/8” from bolt center to bolt center. Install adjustable end of arm
to rear crossmember upper mounts with supplied hardware (zerk on bottom) – refer to Photo 12. The upper arms will be used to
adjust final pinion angle.
F. Attach rear lower control arms to axle with factory hardware, and attach upper arms to axle with supplied hardware (zerk on top).
Step 5 –Bump stops and coils
A. REAR BUMP STOPS - Remove the rubber insert from the rear bump stop. Remove the bump stop cup. Place the spacer between
the bump stop cup and the frame member of the unibody using the supplied longer metric hardware. Reinstall rubber bump stop
- refer to Photo 13.
B. REAR COILS - Install rear coils.
Photo 13 Photo 14
C. FRONT BUMP STOPS - Drill 5/16” hole in center of lower spring pads. Use self-tapping bolt through bump stop extension spacer
to cut threads in lower spring pad. Remove bolt and spacer, it will be installed with the spring
D. FRONT COILS - Install the front coils with the bump stop extension inside of the coil – refer to Photo 14. Coil spring compressors
may be useful. Once the spring is in place, thread the bolt into the lower spring pad (careful these strip easily). Be sure to rotate
the coil to index the spring with lower coil cup. Reinstall spring retainer clips if they were removed for disassembly (not all
vehicles came with these).
Step 6 –Track bars and sway bar links
A. REAR TRACK BAR BRACKET – Remove the plastic dust shield that covers the bolt securing the rear track bar to the mount on the
axle housing and discard. Remove the Torx head bolt (T55) and disconnect axle end of track bar. Install track bar bracket using
the factory T55 bolt and spacer (the spacer goes in the location vacated by the track bar to prevent the bracket from deforming
when the bolt is tightened - see photo 3 for similar installation). With the track bar bracket in place, drill two 5/16” holes in the
axle mount where the plastic dust shield was previously located, one on top and one on angled surface. Install the 5/16”
hardware in the holes drilled. If required, use supplied horseshoe shim to take up space between bracket and axle mount at top
5/16” bolt.
B. REAR TRACK BAR - Install the poly-bushing end of the new track bar at the frame. The bar should start out horizontal then turn
down toward the axle bracket. Mount the Heim end of the track bar in the track bar bracket using the supplied ½” x 2-3/4” bolt–
refer to Photo 15. Be sure the reducer bushing and two misalignment spacers are used (small end of spacers go up against
Heim). It may be easier to do this later when vehicle is back on its wheels. NOTE: The gas tank skid plate will most likely need to
be modified for clearance.
