Installation:
1. Park the vehicle on flat level ground & set the emergency brake.
2. Turn the tires / wheels to a straight forward position.
3. While supporting the front cross member with a floor jack, remove the
front lower A-arm bolt at the frame. (If installing on a vehicle with 4”
or more lift, it will be the upper front bolt on the after market cross
member. Remove the bolt using a 15/16" socket. (See Photo # 1)
4. Once the bolt is removed, reinstall with the new outer stabilizer
bracket. Be sure to install the bolt pointing toward the front. Drill
inside the mounting hole using 5/16" drill bit. Then install a 3/8"
thread cutter bolt. (See Photo # 2) The arrow shows the drill bit.
5. Attach the shock stud to the bracket being sure to use washers. (See
Photo # 3)
6. Install the main bracket to the center steering link using (2)
516X114X134 U-Bolts with washers & lock nuts. Measure from the
center of the pitman arm 9” & mount the drivers side edge of the
center link bracket at this point. Slightly adjust the main bracket, so
that the stabilizer is pulled out half way. (See Photo # 5)
7. Attach the stabilizer shock to the outer bracket & the center link
bracket. (See Photo # 4 & # 5)
8. Once the steering stabilizer is installed, check all the brackets & bolts
for proper fitment. Cycle the steering left to right & check all the parts
for adequate clearance. Retighten all the hardware after the first 100
miles.
Important Note: This steering stabilizer kit is designed for the 99-06
GM 1/2 ton 4WD. It will fit lift heights
4"-6” on kits with lowered front cross
member. This kit will NOT work on
vehicles with a lift kit that relocates the
upper A-Arms.
