Before installing, read all instructions. Only certified mechanics should install Dirt King products. Mandatory wheel alignment and ADAS calibration at certified facilities are required after suspension modifications. Failure to do so can lead to handling problems and safety risks. Dirt King is not responsible for damages from improper installation or misuse. Adhere to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.

Step 1: Removal
a. Raise vehicle and remove wheels.
b. Remove lower skid plate.
c. Separate sway bar end link from knuckle.
d. Unbolt the line clamps attached to the upper control arm and knuckle.
e. Separate the upper control arm from the knuckle.
f. Remove the shock from the vehicle.
Step 2: Install Dirt King Shock
a. Install the Dirt King shock with the reservoir hose pointing towards the
front of the vehicle.
b. Apply blue thread locker to upper mounting bolts and torque to 35ft lbs.
c. Apply blue thread locker to factory lower shock bolt and torque to 61ft
lbs.
d. Install upper control arm and reattach line clamps. Torque upper control
arm hardware to manufacture’s spec.
Note: Aftermarket upper control arms are required with these shocks to allow for the additional down travel that the shocks provide.

b. Install Dirt King reservoir bracket to the chassis. Insert the longer
supplied bolts into the counter bore holes and torque to 37ft lbs.

Step 4: Mount Reservoir
a. Mount Dirt King reservoir to bracket.
b. Torque socket head bolts for the clamps to 12ft
lbs. Ensure the reservoir hose is not contacting
any components. Rotate the reservoir in the clamps to reposition the hose if needed.
Step 5: Install Skid Plate Spacers
a. Remove skid plate supports.
b. Place the spacers in between the skid plate supports and the chassis. Torque bolts to 70ft lbs.
Note: Not all models require the skid plate spacers to be installed. Check if the skid plate
spacers are needed by rotating the sway bar up and down. If the sway bar contacts the skid plate
supports, then the spacers must be installed.

b. Reinstall lower skid plate.
c. Repeat steps for opposite side.
