8. Remove the upper strut mounting bolts from the upper frame mount
& remove the strut. (See Photo #5)
9. Using a spring compressor, unload the tension on the upper mount
of the coil assembly. Remove the upper strut retaining nut & remove
the strut from the bottom. (See Photo #6)
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.
10. Re-assemble using the Skyjacker Strut. (See Photo #7) Note: The
factory upper stem bushings will be re-used.
11. Attach the strut assembly to the lower A-arm using the factory
hardware. Note: Install the bolt from the rear, towards the front.

12. Attach the upper strut mount to the frame using the factory
hardware. Re-attach the upper A-arm to the steering knuckle.

far enough to re-attach.

Photo #9)
14. Install the front tires / wheels &
lower the vehicle to the ground.
