factory installed sway bar, use factory saddles. Install the U-plates over the D-bushings

the upper shock mounts and the forward trailing arms. Use the self tapping bolts provided
and install the left and right brackets. Tighten down completely. SEE PHOTOS TWO (2)
AND THREE (3). If equipped with factory installed sway bar, re-use factory frame brackets.

that were mounted.

not over tighten.
