2. Using Photo 1 and line drawing of end link install end link on the plates just installed in the above step.
Tighten the nuts just until the bushings begin to bulge slightly.
3. As in Photos 3, 4 and 5 raise bar up to the front cross-member and install remaining U-plates and backing plates. Tighten securely.
4. Align lower I-beam plates so the end links are in a vertical or near vertical position. Securely tighten

5. Bounce the vehicle and check for clearance on all undercarriage components. Be sure all nuts and bolts

6. Recheck your installation, look for clearance between gas lines, exhaust pipes, brake lines, wiring, etc.
After one week of driving check your installation and periodically thereafter.

Your Hellwig Suspension Product is built to last. However, as with all vehicle systems, it requires

brackets and bushings. If you do not perform this inspection, have your professional mechanic inspect as described.
