Ridetech 11230109 - Manual (Page 17)

Installation Instructions
1. Raise and safely support the vechile by the frame rails.
2. Using a jack, slightly raise the axle approximately 1”. Remove the shock absorbers.
3. Lower the axle down enough to remove the coil springs.
4. The exhaust tail pipes may need to be removed and/or modified for ShockWave installation.
4. Remove the lower trailing arm
mounting bolt. (Do one side at a
time to keep the axle from rotating).
5. Install the longer ½” x 3 ¾” bolt
through the lower trailing arm from
the outside in. Install the lower
bracket over the bolt and secure with
a ½” Nylok nut and flat washer.
6. The lower bolt hole in the back of
the bracket will align with the factory
shock stud hole. Use a ½” x 1 ½”
bolt, Nylok nut and flat washers.
7. The upper hole must be drilled
with a ½” bit. The edge of the
bracket should be parallel to the axle
bracket. Use an centering punch
and 1/8” bit to drill a pilot hole. A ½”
x 1 ½” bolt, Nylok nut and flat
washers will be used here as well.
