screws to 7-8 ft-lbs. See Photo 3.

13. Connect the end link quick disconnect pins to the fender mounting brackets as shown in photo 8. The end
links can be disconnected from the axle and moved to these locations when the vehicle is being used of-
froad and needs additional suspension flex. For onroad use, leave the end link attached to the lower end
link mounting bracket.
14. On the passenger side, using the existing hole on the top of the fender, bolt the end link fender tab to the
underside of the fender. The hole may need to be widened for the 3/8” bolt. See Photos 8 and 9.
15. On the driver side, remove the screw holding the horn mounting bracket to the top of the fender. Replace
this with the included 3/8” bolt to hold the end link fender tab and the bracket in place. The hole may
need to be widened for the 3/8” bolt. See Photos 8 and 10.
16. Bounce the vehicle, check for clearance on all undercarriage components; exhaust, wires, shocks, brake
and fuel lines. Test drive the vehicle and recheck for clearance and installation alignment.
17. For off highway use, the end links can be disconnected from the axle and moved to the pins on the fender
mounting brackets to allow additional suspension flex. For onroad use, make sure the end links are at-
tached to the pins attached to the axle mounting brackets.
