5. Install your WARRIOR skid plates making sure that the studs can be installed to accommodate
your sway bar or shock absorber. Do not screw in the WARRIOR studs until you have secured
the spring plate to the vehicle. Reinstall U-bolts, if removed, and tighten U-bolt nuts to factory
specifications. Be sure to check the U-bolt nuts a number of times to be sure your new
WARRIOR skid plate is secure and parallel to the ground.
6. Determine if you wish to keep your sway bar or shock absorber connected to your new plate
(some customers wish to remove or relocate these items). If you will be reinstalling them,
install your WARRIOR studs (P-19 stud kit supplied) and torque them to 45 ft. lbs. Tighten
factory sway bar nut and shock stud nut to factory specifications.
7. Re-check all mounting hardware for correct torque. Make sure axle is still in the same location
and check the U-bolt nuts one more time.
8. If your U-bolts hang below the WARRIOR skid plates, you may want to remove the excess
with a suitable cutting device (perhaps a hacksaw). Be sure to wear safety glasses.
9. Install your tire and wheel, tightening the lug nuts to factory specifications.
10. Lower the vehicle to the ground and proceed to the next corner of the vehicle. Repeat all of the
steps listed above on the other side of your vehicle.
11. After your spring plates are completely installed, test-drive your vehicle. You should recheck
your U-bolt tightness at this time, and again after 400 to 500 miles of driving.
