INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE

: IF INSTALLING THIS FRONT DUAL SHOCK KIT IN

CONJUNCTION WITH A SKYJACKER

SUSPENSION

LIFT KIT, SKIP TO STEP #3.

NOTE:

ON 2001/2002 MODELS WITH CUMMINS DIESEL,

THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LINE, (HARD LINE), WILL

NEED TO BE SLIGHTLY BENT OUT AND AWAY FOR

NEEDED CLEARANCE OF THE ADDITIONAL SHOCK

AND SHOCK BRACKET.

1. Secure and properly block the tires of vehicle on a level con-

crete or asphalt surface. Open hood, remove the upper

shock nuts and retainers, remove the 3 nuts on the upper

shock tower brackets and remove brackets.

2. Jack up front of vehicle and install jack stands under frame

behind the lower link rear brackets. Remove tires. Lower

front axle down until coil springs become loose. Remove

coils, rubber insulator and 3-bolt tower ring.

3. Locate the upper link axle mount behind each coil spring.

Take a furnished 12mm bolt and check hole below upper link

bolt on outboard side of each upper link axle mount to be

sure holes are large enough to accept bolt. (In most cases

they are, but if not, you must drill out holes to 1/2", see pic-

ture #1.) Remove original upper link bolt and reinstall*, with

a large 1/2" washer, going through the slotted hole of new

lower dual shock bracket (there is a left and a right bracket -

install with the slotted hole up, and the brackets should

slope forward at bottom end to align with bottom hole).

Using a large 1/2" flat washer and 12mm self locking nut fur-

nished, tighten upper link bolts.

*NOTE: If installing this dual shock

kit in conjunction with a Skyjacker

"D45" or D50" lift, use 12 x 110mm

(4 1/2" long) upper link bolt (fur-

nished in lift kit) with a large 1/2"

washer each side and a 2.375" long

steel sleeve inside the original axle

mount to maintain original spacing.

Also the dual shock bracket goes

on after the upper link relocating

bracket as you can see in picture

#8 of the lift kit instructions.
