Universal Shock Crossmember
1. This is a universal kit designed to fit many applications. We have provided a line drawing on
the next page to give you an idea how it goes together. It is for reference only. Set it up using
the position that works best for your application.
2. We like to install the suspension and run it through its travel before we attempt the
Shockwave/Coilover install.
3. To install your shock setup properly you will need to know your shock dimensions at
compressed, ride height, and full extension.
4. The key is to optimize the shock travel with the suspension travel.
a. What we mean by this is; when your suspension is full compressed your shock should
be compressed and when your suspension is at ride height your shock should be at ride
height also.
5. One trick we use is to take a piece of steel or aluminum and drill holes the correct size at the
compressed and ride height dimensions of your shock to help you with the mock up.
6. Shock angle is something else to watch for; the more angle you put on a shock the less
capacity or effectiveness it will have. We try not to exceed 25 degrees.
7. If installing the Shockwave, make sure you know the maximum diameter of the airspring and
give yourself clearance.
