PARTS
Link Removal
- Disconnect OEM links from Sway Bar and Axle.
Warning 1998.5-2005 trucks have a taper mount on the axle; drill the mount with a ½” drill bit. This is not needed on 2006+ trucks.
98.5-2013 4 Link trucks will use the thin stainless machined spacers; they fit inside the pocket on the sway bar where the original sway bar bushings sat.
INSTALLATION
Install End Link Adapter
- The end link adapter mount will be a tight fit over the sway bar, it may be necessary to use a dead blow or mallet to tap adapter over the sway bar. It’s rare, but we have seen some of the 2010+ OEM Sway Bars that are a bit wider than normal, where the clevis slips over the bar.
- If you have a 2010+ truck please verify that the tip of your swaybar is no wider than 1.67″.
- Once adapter is in place install the carriage bolt from the bottom with the nut on top, do not tighten at this time.
Install Sway Bar Link
- Install sway bar end links with the grease fittings pointed down and the flange of the metal sleeve inside the center ball flush against the axle.
- Line up clevis straight with axle and torque all hardware to 100 ft/lbs.
- Some 2013+ trucks have the swaybar very close to the truck chassis.
- Make sure the shallow height silver bolt head in the adaper bracket, is to the inside/chassis side of the bracket, to provide clearance.
