12.Install the new strut spacer on the top of the factory strut using the factory hardware making sure to position the strut
spacer as shown in Photo 7 with the flat part of the spacer toward the frame rail. Tighten hardware.
13.On this kit the front of the diff will be lowered to improve axle shaft angle. Remove the front driver as shown in Photo
8 and passenger side differential bolts.
14.Install the 1” long spacers in between the diff mount and the frame with the supplied 9/16” x 6” hardware. Tighten
hardware using a 13/16” wrench. See Photo 9.
15.Install the shim plates on the strut as shown in Photo 10. The shim plates are included to allow the height to be set
as needed. If less lift is desired, one or both of the shim plates may be left off the strut spacer and will in turn give less
lift. Each spacer shim plate will give approx 3/8” of lift. Refer to measurement taken in Step 2.
16.Install the strut in the factory mount with the supplied 3/8”
nuts and lock washers on the upper mount and the factory
hardware on the bottom arm. THE STRUT SPACER IS
NOT SYMETRICAL, THE FLAT ON THE SPACER MUST
FACE THE FRAME ON EACH SIDE. Using a 9/16” wrench
on the upper and a 22mm socket on the lower mount
tighten the hardware.
17.The skid plate spacers will be placed on the skid plate. Us-
ing the 8mm x 30mm bolts supplied in the kit, place the
bolts through each hole and secure the bolts with the re-
taining washers a shown in Photo 11 to keep bolt and
spacer in place while installing the skid plate. Install the
skid plate into the stock holes; with the spacers between
the skid plate and the frame.
