18. The next few steps involve installation of the shock cross-member. Begin by removing
the factory muffler hangers located
above the rear end. (Image 7).
19. NOTE: Images 8 and 9 have been
omitted due to updated design.
20. The cross-member can be welded or
bolted into place. Locating the shock
cross-member properly is important and,
while it can be performed by one person,
it is much easier with a helper. Have a
helper hold the shock cross-member up
into place on the frame rails. Slide the
cross-member as far forward as it will
allow.
21. Use the fuel tank strap mounting
positions as a reference point to locate
the cross-member properly front-to-back
and to insure that the cross-member is mounted square in the body. As shown in Image
10, measure the distance from the relief
in the trunk pan to the main cross tube of
the cross-member. Vehicle production
variance prevents a “one measurement
fits all” figure
but the measurements should fall
somewhere between 3-7/8” to 4-
1/16” when viewing the tape measure
from directly below. Re-position the
cross-member until the reading from
each strap mount relief is equal and falls
within the range listed above.
