disconnected from the axle and moved to these locations when the vehicle is being used offroad and needs additional suspen-

19. With the end link attached to the end link fender tab as well as the axle,

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 the installation alignment. Adjust as needed. Re-check your installation after one week of driving and periodi-
cally on a regular basis.

The sway bars arms have three mounting holes. Mounting the sway bar on the outer hole (rear-most) is the nominal

position. For a firmer setting, use the inner holes. We recommend starting with the outer mounting hole until you are

accustomed to the vehicles new handling characteristics. Select the mounting point that best fits your driving style.
