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. Lubricate the D-shaped poly-bushings and place onto the straight areas of the bar on each side of the center clearance hump
as shown in photo 1. Locate the bushings as close to the bend as possible to keep the bar from shifting side-to-side.
2. Place the U-bolts over the axle in the approximate position on the axle required to mount the bushings.
Be sure to avoid
pinching brake lines, emergency brake cables, electrical harnesses, etc. with the installation of the U-bolt.
3. Install the U-bolt legs through the saddles and place the U-plates over the bushings on the bar. Mount the sway bar to the
axle using attached hardware. See Photo 3.
Snug the nuts enough to hold the sway bar in position but loose enough to
allow for adjustment later.
4. Assemble the end links as shown in diagram above. Lubricate the hourglass bushings and sleeves to aid installation.
5. Locate end links on sway bar as shown in Photo 2. Attach end links to sway bar using the 7/16 X 2-3/4 “ bolt and heavy
washer as shown in Photos 2&4.
