TORQUE TABLE

BOLT SIZE: 3/8” = 20-30 ft. lbs. – 7/16” = 35-45 ft. lbs. – ½” = 50-70 ft. lbs. – 9/16” = 70-90 ft. lbs.

SAFETY:

BEFORE STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION, BE SURE TO SET PARKING BRAKE AND CHOCK THE WHEELS.

NOTE:

TO EASE INSTALLATION AND TO PROPERLY ADJUST BAR, THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE MUST BE ON THE SUSPEN-

SION, AS IF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

DO NOT RAISE THE VEHICLE BY FRAME.

NOTE:

THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED TO REPLACE THE FACTORY INSTALLED REAR ANTI-SWAY BAR OR AS AN ADDITION IF THE

REAR ANTI-SWAY IS NOT FACTORY SUPPLIED.

NOTE:

THIS KIT INCLUDES LOCK NUTS WHICH REQUIRE TIGHTENING WITH A WRENCH AFTER BEING STARTED BY HAND.

1. Remove the factory installed rear anti-sway bar (if equipped) and all factory supplied hardware. See Photo 4 and

step 5 for removal of factory installed end link.

2. Lubricate and place the D-shaped poly-bushings onto the straight areas of the bar on each side of the center

clearance hump. Place the square U-plates over the flat side of the bushings on the bar.

3. Bolt the U-plates to the shock mounts on the opposite side of the shock using the included M10 bolts. See Pho-

tos 2 and 3.

4. Locate the end links and assemble with the poly bushings and 9/16” jam nut as in Diagram below. Insert the 3/4”

ID hourglass bushings and matching inserts in the loops of the male end link that will attach to the frame rail.
Insert the 5/8” ID hourglass bushings and matching inserts in the loops of the female end link that will attach to
the sway bar. Lubricate hourglass bushings and insert first and then lubricate the outside and insert sleeve.

5. Installation of driver side end link will be easer if bracket in Photo 4 below is unbolted from fuel tank support.

DO NOT DISCONNECT BRAKE LINES OR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, ONLY UNBOLT THE

BRACKET TO ALLOW EASIER ACCESS TO END LINK BOLT ON DRIVER SIDE.

Removal of stock end link and
installation of new end link on
driver side will be easier if this
bracket is

unbolted and moved

away from frame rail. Do not
disconnect hoses or

electrical

lines.

Take care not to damage

brake line or hoses.

Replace

bracket after installing end link.
