INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lift rear of vehicle and support by frame rails. DO NOT SUPPORT BY REAREND!
2. Use jack and place under rear axle to support but do not lift.
3. Remove both front and rear control arm bolts and nuts and remove control arm.
The axle will shift slightly rearward. (Remove and replace one LCA at a time)
4. Install control arms using the jack to help position the rear axle properly. Use
the supplied spacers on either side of the del-sphere end. Make the bolts hand tight
only at this time. If the spacers are a tight fit, simply sand them down until they fit.
(The LCAs ship with the spacers wire tied in place so you know how they are to be
installed).
5. Lower vehicle to regular ride height and tighten all bolts to 72 ft/lbs.
6. One end of the LCA is left hand threaded and the other end is right hand
threaded. To adjust the length of your LCAs simply put a wrench on the hex at the
end of the LCA and turn the LCA clockwise or counter-clockwise to lengthen or
shorten the LCA. This will allow you to push your rear front/back.
7. Jam nuts are known to work loose over time. To prevent this we recommend that
after you have the LCAs set to your desired length you apply some REMOVABLE
strength (Blue) Loctite to the del-sphere threads and then tighten up the jam nuts
on each end of the lower control arm. Note: LCAs are shipped to you jig set at stock
length.
