1. Raise the vehicle to a safe and comfortable working height. Use jack stands to support the vehicle
with the suspension hanging freely.
2. Support the axle and remove the leaf springs, shocks, tail pipes, bump stops and pinion snubber.
Refer to the factory service manual for proper disassemble procedures. Keep the factory U-bolts
and the front leaf spring mounts and bolts. They will be reused.
4. Bolt the lower bar axle mount to the
leaf spring pad using the factory studs
and U-bolt. The mount is offset to the
inside to provide more tire clearance.
New 7/16” Nyloc nuts are supplied.
5. Attach the Billet ShockWave mount
to the axle mount using the ½” bolts
and Nyloc nuts. It will be easiest to do
this before attaching the lower bar.
6. Swing the small end of the lower
bar up to the axle and secure with
5/8” x 2 ¾” bolt and Nyloc
. The
standard hole is the center hole. Do
not tighten yet.
3. Fasten the large end of the lower
bar to the factory leaf spring hanger
using the factory hardware. Then
reattach the hanger to the car. These
two larger bushings are polyurethane
and are lubricated at the factory.
Future lubrication can be done with any
non petroleum based lubricant such as
lithium or silicone. The Bar is installed
with it offset to the inside of the car for
more wheel and tire clearance.
