Shock and Trailing Arm Axle Mounts
7. Using the guidelines supplied with your bracket kit, the trailing arm and pan
hard bar mounts need to be welded onto your axle housing. It is very critical that
the axle mounting surface is prepped properly and the brackets are aligned
correctly and square to the diff as per the instructions. If you have purchased a
complete Speed Tech 9” housing then all this will be done for you.
Torque Arm Front Mount
The front cross member mount for the torque arm is mounted tight to the floor
above the body mount. If you are using solid body mounts it is recommended
that you machine 3/16” off the top side of the mount to accommodate the
thickness of the X member. This will ensure that your sub frame remains in the
original position. The mounting holes are slotted to allow for adjustment of the
mount.
8. Support the front of the sub frame on a jack and remove the bolts for the rear
sub frame / body mounts. Slip the Torque arm mounting X member in between
the floor and the top of the existing body mount. Make sure the X member tabs
are pointing forward. Reinstall the bolts.
