Rear installation – Skyjacker TT413ST User Manual
Page 3

Note: There are six snap ring grooves located on the new Skyjacker
strut body for 1" to 3" lift heights. The ring is installed in the second
groove from the top when shipped. This will yield 2.5" - 3" of lift. The
upper groove is only to be used when 2.5" - 3" of lift is desired, after
aftermarket accessories have been added that weigh the front of the
vehicle down (ie. winch, after market bumper, & etc). The lower
grooves can be used if you would like to keep the factory rake of the
vehicle (front of vehicle lower than the rear).
Once the coil spring
seat retaining ring has been installed, check all suspension
components for any contact or interference. If suspension
component contact or interference is present, lower the coil
spring seat by lowering the coil spring seat retaining ring until
no contact or interference is present.
