Important Information
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. For more information, visit

**Step 1: Disassembly
**
Start by raising the vehicle and placing jack stands under the frame rails. Next, remove the front wheels and wheel well guards to the left and right of the coil bucket. Remove the brake line bracket and sway bar link from the knuckle (Image 1). Loosen the upper control arm ball joint nut. Strike the side of the knuckle to loosen the ball joint taper (Image 1). Rotate the upper control arm upward. Note: Aftermarket upper control arms are required with these shocks. Remove the upper and lower shock bolts, then remove the shock from the vehicle. Now remove front skid plate and skid plate braces. Unbolt the sway bar bushings from the frame and install the sway bar spacer block with the provided hardware (Image 2).

**Step 2: Assembly

Install spacers between the skid plate braces and the frame (Image 3 & 4). Align the top of shock to the coil bucket (Image 5). Apply blue thread locker to the top shock mounting bolts and torque to 35ft lbs. Place the lower shock eyelet into the lower control arm mount (Image 6). Apply blue thread locker and torque the factory lower shock bolts to 61ft lbs. Insert the upper control arm ball joint into the knuckle and torque to the manufacturer’s specs. Lastly, install the sway bar link using the OE hardware and torque to 52ft lbs.
