Installation:

1. Park the vehicle on level ground,

set the emergency brake, & block

the front tires / wheels.

2. Raise the driver side of the

vehicle. Remove the front tire /

wheel & OEM shock at the lower

mount.

3. Position the new Skyjacker upper

mount at the rear of the OEM

spring tower. (See Photo # 1)

Align the new upper mount so the

top of the mount is parallel to the

ground & the two holes can be

drilled into the spring tower. Drill

the two holes into the upper

spring tower & mount the bracket in place. Install the new Skyjacker shock into the new upper

shock bracket.

Note: If you prefer, you may weld the bracket in place.

4. Install the bottom of the shock using the supplied 1/2" x 5 1/2" bolt. Place a 1/2” washer on the

bolt before putting it through the first shock. Insert the bolt through the outside shock, install a

washer, spacer, & then another washer. Push the bolt through the OEM shock bracket, shock, &

radius arm. Install a washer & nut, then tighten.

5. Repeat the above steps on the passenger side.

6. Once all shocks are installed, check all components for proper clearance. Retorque all hardware

after the first 100 miles & periodically there after.

NOTE: THE STEERING STOPS MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF

THIS DUAL SHOCK KIT TO AVOID INTERFERENCE WITH THE SHOCK WHEN YOU TURN

FULL LEFT OR FULL RIGHT.
