Installation Of Reservoir Mount
- Line up mount to the flat side of the coil bucket, mark mounting locations for bolts and drill holes (image 2)
- Install mounts using ¼” bolts, torque Bolts to 8 ft/lbs
- Repeat for the other side
- Use the existing hole in the coil bucket gusset as the first hole drilled for Res Mount Bracket on 19+ trucks
Installation of Shocks
- Put shock in place, Position shock so the hose exit from the shock body is facing 45° to the rear for proper hose positioning
- On our King 2.5” & 3.0” shocks the reservoir hose will point toward the cab so the hose has a larger radius bend into the reservoir (image 2)
- Use 2 hose clamps per side to mount the shock reservoir, and run the clamp through holes in the mount
