6. Attach the end links to the frame rail as shown in Photo 5 using the 1/2 X 3” bolt, washers and locknut.
7. Center sway bar on the differential. Be sure to move any lines, wires or hoses on the axle or the inside of the

frame to avoid any damage. Rotate bar up and down to make sure there is adequate clearance to all axle and
undercarriage components as the suspension articulates. When bar is centered and proper clearances verified,
tighten shock mount U-plate bolts to 25 ft-lb.

8. Attach lower end of end link to outer hole of sway bar as shown in Photos 6 and 7 using 7/16 X 3” bolt, washer

and locknut. Adjust end link length so that end link bolt will clear fuel tank and keep the sway bar arms as par-
allel to the ground as possible. Tighten 1/2” bolt to 50-60 ft-lb and 7/16” bolt to 35-40 ft-lb. Tighten 9/16” ad-
justment nut on end link to 70 ft-lb.

9. Bounce the vehicle checking for clearance on all undercarriage components shocks, exhaust etc. Test drive the

vehicle and recheck your installation.

Recheck periodically on a regular basis thereafter.

10. The sway bar arms have three mounting holes. Mounting the sway bar on the outer hole is the nominal position.

For firmer settings, use the inner holes. We recommend starting with the outer mounting hole until you are ac-
customed to the vehicles new handling characteristics. Then select the mounting point that best fits your driving
style
