7. Attach the quick disconnect pins to the existing lower end link mounting bracket following Diagram 4

and Photo 2 on the previous page. Use the included longer, 1/2x1-1/2” bolts. Torque bolts to 40 ft-lb. A
small Phillips screwdriver can be inserted in to the hole in the end of the pin to keep it from turning while
tightening bolt.

8. Lubricate the inside of the hourglass bushing on the end link and slide it over the quick disconnect pin.

This will be held in place with the included linch pin.

9. Lengthen or shorten the end link so the sway bar arms are parallel to the ground and make sure the bar is

centered on the frame. Once these are correct, tighten the jam nut to hold the end link in place and tighten
all other bolts following the Torque Table on Page 1.

10. Assemble the end link relocation tab following Diagram 4 on the previous page with the quick discon-

nect pin facing in towards the holes and using the shorter 1/2x1” bolts.

11. Disconnect the end link from the axle and attach it to this mounting tab. Swing the end link forward to

the sheet metal next to the body mount. Use the tab to mark the location for the two holes to attach it in
the same location as shown in Photos 6 and 7.

12.

BEFORE DRILLING, DISCONNECT BATTERY AND VERIFY THAT DRILL WILL NOT CONTACT OR DAM-

AGE ANY BRAKE, FUEL, COOLANT LINES, BATTERY, ELECTRICAL COMPONENETS, WIRING, OR ANY
OTHER ENGINE COMPARTMENT COMPONENTS

. Drill two 13/32” holes and use the included 3/8” hard-

ware to attach the relocation tab to the body. The end links can be disconnected from the axle and moved
to these locations when the vehicle is being used offroad and needs additional suspension flex. For on-
road use, leave the end link attached to the axle bracket.

13. With the end link attached to the relocation tab as well as the axle bracket, bounce the vehicle checking

for clearance on all under carriage components: fuel tank, shocks, differential, brake and fuel lines, etc.
Test drive the vehicle and recheck all clearances and bolt torques. Adjust as needed. Re-check your in-
stallation after one week of driving and periodically on a regular basis.
