brackets through the legs of the U-bolts. Install a hex nuts to temporarily support the saddle brackets to the
axle. They will be removed later. Taking care as not to damage the brake or fuel lines mounted on the axle.

2. Locate and insert the D-shaped poly bushings in as close a location that the bushings will contact the U-bolts
and saddle brackets installed on the rear axle. Position the U-plate brackets over the bushings. Remove the
hex nuts supporting the saddle brackets, insert the legs of the U-bolts thru the holes of the U-plate brackets
over the bushings. Tighten the 1/2” hex nuts on the U-bolts just enough to support the sway bar to the axle.
Leave loose at this time to allow for adjustment later. SEE PHOTO ONE (1).

3. Locate the threaded frame brackets on top of the frame rail as shown in photo tow ( 2 ). Attach the frame
brackets with the welded clevis using the 7/16” x 5-1/2” cap screws. Take care as not to damage any electri­cal wires, brake or fuel lines that run along the vehicles frame. Note that the cap screws will be pointing to­wards the vehicles body ( up ). Leave loose to allow for adjustment later.

4. Locate the end links and assemble with the poly bushings as in photos ( 4 and 5 ). Insert the hour glass poly
bushings through the welded ends of the end links. Insert the steel sleeves through the hour glass poly bush­ings. ( To ease installation lightly grease the steel sleeve and the hour glass bushing before assembling ).

5. Insert the end links into the clevis of the frame brackets and attach using the 7/16” x 2-1/4” cap screw and
locknut. Leave loose to allow for adjustment later.

6. Raise the arms of the sway bar and install the end link bushings on the arms of the sway bar as shown in the
photos with the locknut on the bottom of the end link. Tighten the nuts until the poly bushings start to
bulge. Do not over tighten or damage can occur to the poly bushings.
