34. Once the torque arm bolts have been removed,
install the BMR Watts Link mount as shown
in Image 19. Re-tighten the mounting bolts to
150 ft/lbs.
35. The next few steps involve mounting the
Watts Link. Locate the billet aluminum Watts
pivot, the reinforcement plate, (2) 3/8” x 3.75”
bolts, and a ½” x 4” bolt. Refer to Image 19
and 20 for a visual representation of these
components. NOTE: If your vehicle will be
setup for a low ride height, choose one of the
lower sets of mounting holes to install the
Watts pivot. For most applications, this is a
good starting point. This mounting point,
along with the outer Watts linkage mounting
points, determines the vehicles rear roll center
(RC) height. Variances in vehicle center-of-
gravity (CG) height make multiple mounting
locations necessary for fine tuning RC height.
36. Tighten the center bolt to 80 ft/lbs. and the
smaller outer bolts to 35 ft/lbs.
37. Before mounting the Watts link bars, it is
necessary to load the vehicles suspension.
Allow the weight of the vehicle to sit on the
rear end and bounce the car a few times to
settle the suspension. If the car sits too high
or too low, use the provided spa
wrench at this time to adjust the
spring height on the shocks. If it is
not possible to adjust the springs
enough to achieve the desired ride
height, move the lower shock
mounting hole to a different location
Once the desired spring height is
established, tighten the jam collar o

the shock and proceed to the
following step.
38. Using Image 21 as a guide, thread
one of the two Watts link bars
the Watts link pivot and mount the other end into the drivers side mount. The bar should
be installed into whichever mounting hole places the Watts link bar at the most level
position while the suspension is loaded. Insert one of the provided ½” x 3.25” bolts.
