on both sides and tighten (double disconnects
available).
4" Lifts: NOTE: Sway bar end must be drilled
or filed to allow clearance for the provided
7/16" x 1 1/2" bolt (see arrow in photo #7).
The new end link mounting bracket should be
mounted to the bottom of the sway bar with
the bolt pointing up through the sway bar and
the nut and 7/16 USS washer applied on top
(see picture 7). Apply lithium grease to the
polyurethane bushings. Insert them into the
end link eyes along with the metal sleeve . The
top 1/2" x 2 1/2" bolt connecting the bracket to
the end link must be installed with the nut to
the outside of the vehicle to provide adequate
clearance to the frame. Install new double
disconnect end links on the inboard side of
the axle bracket, being sure that the offset is
turned inward.

bracket for reference so you can realign the

a hammer until fitting is completely tapped in.
