FJ Cruiser Rear Coil Spring Spacer Kit
Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT: Warrior recommends that this kit be installed by a certified technician. While these instructions are
complete, a thorough professional knowledge of disassembly and reassembly procedures, as well as post-installation
checks is important. Installing this system without this knowledge and expertise may compromise the operating safety of
the vehicle.
Before beginning this installation, take a look at the end of the install instructions. You will find a torque specification
chart. Reference this chart when tightening any bolts. This chart is located toward the end of the step-by-step
instructions.
Disassembly
1. Put the vehicle in 4WD High and chock the front tires.
2. Raise the rear of the vehicle and secure it on a level surface with jack stands on the frame.
3. Support the axle with a floor jack and remove the rear tires.
4. Unbolt the sway bar end links from the sway bar.
5. Unbolt and slide the bottom of the shocks free of the axle. If you are replacing shocks, unbolt them from the frame
as well and remove them completely.
6. Unbolt the track bar (panhard bar) from the frame.
7. Lower the axle until there is plenty of room to slide the coil springs out. Be sure to keep track of driver and
passenger sides as well as top and bottom of the springs.
Assembly
1. Set your new coil spring spacers on top of the factory spring. The spacers have a taper on them which should
point up, and a shoulder on them which will sit over the spring and factory rubber isolator.
2. Slide the coil spring and new spacer back into place on the axle. The spring must be rotated so that the end of the
coil is locked into the pocket on the coil perch on the axle. If it is not put into place properly, your lift may end up
uneven.
3. With both coils and spacers now in place, begin raising the axle to put pressure on the top and bottom of the coils.
As the coils make contact with their frame end perches, make sure they are properly aligned.
4. Re-assemble track bar (panhard bar) to frame. Torque to specification using the chart below.
5. If you are using new shocks, now is the time to install them. Otherwise, secure the lower end of the shock back
onto the axle. Tighten to spec.
6. Install sway bar end links onto sway bar and tighten.
7. You may now finish your installation by re-installing your wheels and tires and lowering the vehicle back onto the
ground. Be sure to double check all bolts and nuts, including lug nuts to ensure they are tight. Test drive and
check again. It is also recommended that after a few hundred miles, all bolts be passed over and re-torqued.
