INSTALLATION

1. Using a properly rated jack, raise the front of the vehicle and support the frame rails with jack stands. Ensure the jack stands are secure and set properly before lowering the jack. NEVER WORK UNDER AN UNSUPPORTED VEHICLE. Remove the front wheels.
2. Using a floor jack, support the front axle (securely) to remove tension from the weight of the front suspension/drivetrain.
3. Using an 18mm, loosen and remove the driver’s side lower shock bolt.
4. Use a 16mm to remove the upper shock stem nut then remove the shock from the vehicle.
5. Install the shock in the lower shock mount, reuse factory hardware. [Torque to factory spec]
6. Use a 19mm socket/wrench to install the shock stem bushing kit onto the factory shock mount as follows: 9/16” ID stem washer, stem bushing (locater lip up), factory shock mount, stem bushing (locator lip down), 12mm ID stem washer, 12mm nylock nut. Fasten until bushing assembly is snug and Nylock is engaged. (REFER TO DIAGRAM) NOTE: 2012+ models will require trimming the plastic box directly above the passenger side upper shock mount in order to gain access to the upper shock mount nut. [FIGURE 1]
7. Repeat steps 2-6 for passenger side shock
8. Reinstall the wheels and lower the vehicle back to the ground. [Torque lugs to factory spec.]

VERIFY ALL FASTENERS ARE PROPERLY TORQUED BEFORE DRIVING VEHICLE.
RETORQUE ALL NUTS, BOLTS AND LUGS AFTER 100 MILES AND PERIODICALLY THEREAFTER.
