SAFETY: BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION BE SURE TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE AND CHOCK THE
WHEELS.
NOTE: TO EASE INSTALLATION AND PROPERLY ADJUST THE BAR, THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE MUST BE
ON THE SUSPENSION AS IF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DO NOT RAISE THE VEHICLE BY THE FRAME.
NOTE: THIS KIT MAY REQUIRE RELOCATION OF FUEL AND BRAKE LINES. INSTALLER
MUST ENSURE THAT THE SWAY BAR KIT WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH ANY FUEL OR
BRAKE LINES OR HOSES.
1. If equipped, remove factory installed rear sway bar and all mounting brackets.
2. Lubricate the D shaped bushings and place them onto the straight areas of the bar on each side of the
center hump as close to the outside bend as possible.
3. Hold bar up to the axle and locate the position on the axle tubes to mount the u-bolts. Be sure to put the
U-Bolts Under Any Brake Lines, Wires or Hoses on the Axle to Avoid Any Possible Damage. The
threads of the U-Bolts will point down.
