25. Assemble the outer reinforcement plate, frame inserts, and ½” x 3” bolts with stainless
washers as shown in Image 15 on the previous page. Slide the assembly through the
subframe until the bolts protrude through the BMR cross-member on the inside of the
frame rail. Thread a nut and stainless washer onto the exposed portion of the bolts and
then tighten to 80 ft/lbs.
26. Duplicate steps 21-26 for the other side of the vehicle.
27. At this point it is necessary to assemble the coil-over shocks. Using Image 16 as a guide,
thread the lower adjusters onto the shock body and continue threading until they are all
the way to the bottom. Place a spring over the shock and then insert the upper spring
mount on top of the spring and over the shock shaft. Thread the lower shock adjuster up
until the spring has no more slack and seats squarely on the upper and lower mounts.
Continue tightening by hand until the shock has approximately 1.5” of thread exposed on
the bottom of the shock.
28. Slide the upper mount of the shock into the BMR cross-member making sure the shock
adjustment knobs are facing inward. Insert the supplied ½” x 2.5” bolt. Repeat for the
other side. Thread a stainless washer and nut onto the bolt and tighten to 80 ft/lbs.
29. Assemble the bottom shock mount using the provided 5/8” x 4” bolt and aluminum
mounting spacer. Place a 5/8” small diameter washer on either side of the poly bushings.
Insert the bolt into one of the middle shock mounts located on the control arm mount.
NOTE: it may be necessary to raise or lower the rear end in order to insert the bolt. (Image 17)
