NOTICE TO DEALER AND VEHICLE OWNER
Any vehicle equipped with any Warrior product should have a “Warning to Driver” decal installed on the inside of the
windshield or on the vehicle’s dash. The decal should act as a constant reminder for whoever is operating the vehicle of its
unique handling characteristics.
INSTALLING DEALER - it is your responsibility to install the warning decal and forward these installation instructions on
to the vehicle owner for review. These instructions should be kept in the vehicle for its service
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. The front-end components are installed first.
2. Place the vehicle on a level surface. Set the parking brake. Center front wheels and chock rear wheels. From inside the
engine compartment, remove the upper shock stud nut, retainer and grommet form both of the front shocks Jack up the
vehicle and place jack stands on the frame rail behind the lower control arm mount on the frame. Installation is done one
end at a time.
3. Remove the front tires and wheels.
4. Place a floor jack underneath the axle for support and complete the removal of the front shock absorbers (DO NOT
REUSE THE ORIGINAL SHOCK ABSORBERS).
5. Remove the track rod from the axle housing and secure out of the way. Save the bolt and flag nut they will be reused in a
later step. Remove both of the front sway bar end links.
6. Remove the brake calipers and secure out of the way.
7. Mark the position of the lower control arm cam bolt and axle brackets for installation reference. (See Figure #1) If
equipped with ABS brakes, Remove the sensor wires and clamps for the inside of the lower arms and save clamps for re-
use.
8. Remove the coil spring clip located on the bottom coil seat on both sides of the vehicle. Lower the axle and remove the
coil spring. A coil spring or strut compressor may be needed to remove the stock coil spring.
9. Install the coil spring spacer by slipping it over the bump stop tube at the top spring seat. A coil spring or strut
compressor is highly recommended for the coil spring installation. Compress the coil spring to 16” in length. Your
new spacer becomes the upper spring pocket, replacing the factory rubber isolator. Re-install the coil spring into the
upper and lower spring pockets and carefully remove the compressor. Make sure the coil is seated properly in the lower
coil seat by rotating the spring so the pig tail end fits in the spring pocket. Install the coil spring clamp and torque the
spring clip bolt to 16ft.-lbs.
10. Repeat steps on other side.
11. Assemble the boots on your new #60506 front shock absorbers, and install in the factory lower mounts. Install the upper
stud bushings and tighten the upper mounting point. Tighten the bar pin on the bottom of the shock with the stock
hardware. Repeat this on the opposite side of the vehicle. Re-install the brake calipers tires, wheels and lug nuts. Lower
the vehicle to the ground.
12. Align the reference marks on the adjustment cams and lower arm axle brackets and tighten to 85 ft. lbs.
Note: Longer brake lines are not required in the front with this kit unless the sway bar is disconnected. If disconnects are
used, longer brake lines are required. Install tires and wheels.
