replacement bolts are to be used for your application. *CJ-8 Scrambler kit will come with 2 extra pucks, bolts

and washers. Their location will be 5 and 6 in figure 1.

There are 4 steps to be addressed when installing this body lift kit on your Jeep™ CJ:

1: The steering shaft and/or column.

2: The radiator/fan shroud.

3: The clutch linkage (or automatic transmission shift linkage).

4: Installing the one inch 0 pucks and longer bolts.

STEP 1: The steering shaft and/or column. Since the body is going to be raised from the frame by one inch

and the column is attached to the body, the shaft that connects the column to the steering box will have to

gain length by approx. 3/8". There are two ways to make this happen:

1A: The shaft is telescoping from the factory (so it can collapse in case of a collision). To make it gain length

or extend the two halves must have the plastic locking device removed. The plastic must be melted out by

heating the shafts. If you choose this method (A), remove the entire shaft from the Jeep™ . Use a torch and

slightly heat the two halves until the plastic is melted out and the two shafts will slide apart. Do this in a well

ventilated area cause the meeting plastic stinks! Clean them with a wire brush, and paint them. Do not rein-

stall the steering shaft at this time. See figure 2.

1B: The steering column has a slight amount of adjustment from the factory. It may or may not have enough, only you can be the judge of this. The adjustment is located where the column bolts to the under dash bracket, and the firewall. Loosen the two bolts (do not remove) that attach the column to the bracket. They are located directly above the brake pedal. Loosen the bolts that clamp the column to the firewall bracket and the bolts that attach the bracket to the firewall (do not remove).

If you choose step 1B, it is time to tighten the bolts that hold the column to the under dash bracket and firewall. Returning to the radiator, re-attach it and the shroud to the grill in the holes that you drilled. Check the clutch pedal for proper operation. If you feel any binding or roughness, perform the steps outlined in step 3. If you have a automatic transmission, re-tighten the adjustment pinch bolt on shift rod. The shift linkage for the Quadra-Trac may need to be modified if it doesn’t hook up.

TERMS-POLICIES: FIT and TOLERANCES: These Motor Mounts are the results of countless hours of research, testing, fitting and refining. Jeep® frames have a wide tolerance on bolt hole centers from frame to frame. This is why M.O.R.E.™ has installed “slots” in which to mount them. In addition to the factory tolerances, most people install other then factory equipment such as suspension lift kits, skid plates, different transfer cases etc. M.O.R.E.
