** Lift heights indicated are typical. Actual lift height is influenced by which factory suspension the vehicle
is equipped with and its condition; optional equipment and accessories on your vehicle, and other vehicle
modifications such as replacement coil springs, wheel and tire combinations, etc.
Modifying/lifting the suspension to your vehicle may raise its center of gravity and may make it more
susceptible to loss of control and/or rollover, which may result in death or serious injury. We strongly
recommend that you offset the loss of rollover resistance as much as possible by increasing tire track
width, and that you equip the vehicle with a functional roll bar and cage system.
Wear seat belts and shoulder harnesses at all times, and avoid situations where a side rollover may
occur.
NOTE: if you exceed the recommended spring seat adjustment range (exposed thread dimension) for
your vehicle, make sure to measure the shock at ride height as shown below after the install. This is
needed to insure there is at least 2” of droop travel from static ride height and so the stiffer rebound zone
is not being engaged at ride height.

G. Before finalizing the desired lift height, position the elongated hole in the spring seat so it will face
inboard once installed on the vehicle.
H. Once the desired lift height is set, tighten lock ring against spring seat using supplied spanner
wrenches.
Torque lock ring to spring seat 37 ft-lb (50 Nm).
I. Rotate the lower shock mount so it is aligned with the upper mount studs as noted in step E.
J. Slowly release the spring compressor.
Length at ride height needs to be less than 19 11/16 ”
