1. Park the vehicle on flat level ground. Set the emergency brake
and properly block the tires.
2. Raise the front of the vehicle and support the frame rails using
jack stands. Remove the front tires.
3. Remove the bushing and washer from the upper portion of the
factory shock. Place the new upper frame bracket over the fac-
tory bracket. (See Photo #1). Now reinstall the upper bushing
and washer onto the factory shock.
4. Push the bracket up flush against the frame. The outside
mounting hole on the top plate will now line up with the factory
hole in the upper mount. Drill out the factory hole using a
13/32” drill bit. Install the 3/8 x 1 fine thread bolt with washers
and locknut at this location. (See Photo #2).
5. Mark one of the outer holes on the front and rear of the brack-
et where it mounts to the frame. (Some models will line up with
1 factory hole in the frame). It is recommended to drill and
install the front bolt first then move to the rear mount. Drill
using a 5/16” drill bit. Once drilled, install the 3/8 x 1” thread
cutter bolt. Once 1 bolt has been installed on the front and
rear, drill the remaining outer holes and install the 3/8” bolts.
6. With all of the outer bolts installed. Mark and drill the center
hole using a 1/2” drill bit. Be sure not to drill into any power
steering lines or wiring. It will be necessary on some models to
remove the factory exhaust heat shield from the backside of
the frame to allow for installation. Once installed, reinstall the
heat shield. Once drilled, install the 1/2 x 4” fine thread bolts
with washers and nuts. Be sure to install the bolt from inside
pointing out. (See Photo #4). The new brakeline bracket will
attach under the bottom bolt in the front mount. Attach the fac-
tory brakeline bracket to the extension bracket using the 5/16 x
1” fine thread bolt, washers, and locknut. (See Photo #4).
