INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
*** READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION***
To install your WARRIOR SR 180 SYSTEM, ensure your jeep is on a level surface before removal of the front
wheels. You will need jack stands or a way to support your axle and your chassis before you begin installing
your new kit. If you have aftermarket springs you must verify your vehicles’ wheelbase. The original location
of your housing is very important, so measure your wheelbase before starting any work. Remember, your new
kit was designed to fit with factory springs. Aftermarket springs may alter this wheelbase and the kit may have
to be adjusted accordingly. Please read the instructions completely and understand all the aspects of the kit
before you begin. If you have any questions about your installation, call our factory direct technical department
and ask for assistance at 1-888-220-6861.
***ALL WELDING MUST BE DONE BY A CERTIFIED WELDER***
PREP THE JEEP:
1. Make all necessary measurements and notes before jacking up the Jeep and removing the front wheels.
2. Loosen the front wheel lug nuts and lift the front of the Jeep supporting the frame with jack stands.
Securely position the jack stands just behind the rear leaf spring mounts and adjust them high enough so
that the entire front of the Jeep is off the ground. Shake the Jeep to be certain it is stable and secure.
3. Remove the front wheels and set aside.
4. Position a floor jack underneath the differential housing and raise it to support the axle while you
remove the front u-bolts (4). Once the u-bolts have been removed, raise the front axle up a few inches
with the floor jack and support it with 2 additional jack stands.
5. You should now be able to remove both front leaf springs completely from the Jeep. Remove the stock
spring bushings on both ends of the front leaf springs and replace them with the polyurethane bushings
supplied in your kit.
6. Remove both front shackle brackets from the frame. They are welded on and must be cut off with all
surfaces smoothed for installation of the SR 180-3 front cross member.
***IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT, CALL FACTORY BEFORE WELDING***
CROSS MEMBER INSTALLATION:
1. You will be installing the SR 180-3 front cross member to the front frame horns. There are two holes on
the ends of the frames horns that are used to attach the stock bumper to the frame. The SR 180-3 front
cross member leaf spring mounting holes are to be positioned directly in line with these two holes.
