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 REQUIRES DRILLING THE FRAME RAIL AND POSSIBLE 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: SWAY BAR END LINKS MUST BEATTACHED ON OUTER
HOLE PRIOR TO INITIAL USE. SEE PHOTO 12.

1. 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.

2. Make sure to identify which frame type is on the vehicle. Two piece frames have a weld seam in the
center of the rail joining the two halves of the rail section. One piece frames will not have this weld.
There are two mounting options for each frame rail type depending on the service of the vehicle. It is

recommended that the severe service option beused in any high performance application.

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. See PHOTO 3.
