b) The rear lower shock relocation bracket position can vary depending on the
combination of the bump stop spacer height, shock length and control arm length.
We recommend that you cycle the suspension to correctly position the new lower
shock brackets to optimize your suspension travel. If you are using these shock
relocation brackets with the Synergy suspension system the following table will
help you determine which set of holes in the shock relocation bracket to use
without cycling the suspension. These hole positions are based on using the
Synergy 8068 rear shocks, 8058 (3”) or 8076 (4”) rear bump stop spacers and our
recommended rear upper and lower control arm lengths. If you are using
anything other than this combination of parts, you should cycle the rear
suspension to get the correct lower shock bracket position.
c) Remove the jounce bumpers but leave any bump stop extension brackets
installed. Jack the rear axle up to compress the suspension until the bump stop
spacer hits the metal cup that holds the jounce bumpers. This should be the
highest the rear axle and suspension will travel. See Figure 22-1.
d) Install the new shock to the upper mount.
e) Using the factory shock bolts, attach the shock relocation brackets to the bottom
bushing of the shock.
f) Compress the shock and position the bracket on the back of the lower control arm
bracket to determine which set of holes to use. See Figure 22-1.

g) Once the shock bracket position is determined you can cut the bottom of the lower
control arm bracket off flush with the bottom of the shock brackets. Remove the
shock brackets and shocks. A sawzall works well for this, you can cut off the
