Mountain Off Road BLTJ97 - Manual (Page 3)

15.
The bracket that you removed in Step 4 can now be addressed. Remove the two bolts that hold the swivel
ball mount to the bracket. The M.O.R.E.™ drop plate will relocate this swivel ball mount to it’s proper loca-
tion. Use the bolts that you just removed to attach the drop plate (with-out the swivel ball mount) to the
bracket, placing the drop plate with the two large holes down. The swivel ball mount can now be bolted to
the drop plate. Where you place it depends on how your Wrangler is set-up. If your Wrangler is stock (no
suspension lift) place the swivel ball mount in the upper set of holes. See Figure 2a. If your Wrangler has
a suspension lift kit that uses spacers between the frame and skid plate/crossmember, place the swivel
ball mount in the lower holes. See Figure 2b.
16.
The shifter rod that connects the shift lever to the bellcrank needs slight modification. Remove it from the
bellcrank by prying the ends out from the plastic grommets. The end that “snaps” into the bellcrank needs
to have the point ground off to more of a “nub” then a point. Be careful not to grind too much off the point.
See figure 3a & 3b. Figure 4a shows the factory point on the rod. Figure 3b shows how it should look
after you have ground the point off, (see arrow).
17.
Re-Install the bracket to the floor pan. See Figure 4 (this figure shows a Wrangler that has the swivel ball
mount in the lower set of holes). Now, you will need to adjust the linkage on the shifter rod between the
shift lever and the bellcrank. Find the adjustment bolt on the rod. Make sure the shift lever and the T-case
go all the way into low range. The adjustable linkage on the rod will probably need to be adjusted longer.
Now, make sure that the T-case and the lever go all the way into high range. This may take some time
adjusting it to get it perfect, but it can be done, and is VERY IMPORTANT that it be done so that no dam-
age occurs to the T-case.
18.
If your Wrangler is equipped with a automatic transmission, no modifications are necessary. It is cable op-
erated from the shifter to the transmission and has plenty of slack for the 1" body lift.
19.
The factory steering guide bracket now gets replaced with the M.O.R.E.™ raised steering guide bracket.
This guide bracket is located in the engine compartment, between the steering column and the steering
box See Figure 5. Remove the bolts that attach it to the frame and steering shaft bearing. Remove the
bolt that clamps the upper shaft to the lower shaft and separate the shafts See Figure 6. Now remove the
bracket from the lower shaft and replace with the supplied raised bracket using the original hardware See
Figure 7.
20.
Go back and re-check all of your work. Make sure that all the bolts are tight and nothing has been left "un-
done". Re-check the body bolts, T-case linkage adjustment and steering shaft guide bracket bolts after 4-
Wheeling and every few months. If you have any questions or comments, please call. Thank you for pur-
chasing this product from M.O.R.E.™.
