Front and Rear Anti-Roll Bar Kit Installation

Instructions

Tools Required: Included In Kit:
1/ 4-wheel lift/ramps or jack stands 1/ front and rear anti-roll bars

2/ 13mm socket 2/ 4 bushings & 4 brackets
3/ 13mm wrench 3/ 2 front bushing mounting plates
4/ (2) 16mm wrenches 4/ reinforcement bracket kit
5/ 5mm allen 5/ ha rdware kit
6/ (2) 14mm wrenches 6/ 1 grease pack
7/ Blue Locktight

START WITH THE REAR BAR/REINFORCEMENT BR ACKETS.

1/ Raise vehicle using a 4-wheel lift, drive-on ramps or jack stands at the
proper jack points. When using jack stands, always utilize a level surface.

2/ Once vehicle is raised, take a moment and observe the stock rear bar
and the way in which it is mounted.

3/ Rear bar can be removed and installed without releasing exhaust but
detach if necessary at rear. Remove the two lower end link nuts (16mm wrench)
which may require holding the stud steady with the 5mm allen.

4/ Remove the four bracket bolts and nu t s. Slowly remove the bar by rolling
it over the exhaust. WAIT TO INSTALL HSPORT BAR.

5/ Now install the reinforcement brackets. The driver’s side frame has two
holes above the rear portion of the lower a-arm. Use the flange-headed bolts
and place the head on the inside of the frame facing out. Take the black bracket
marked ‘D’ and place it up against frame as shown. The ‘D’ sticker will end up
against the frame, with the gusset towards the ground. Use the lock washers
and lock nuts provided. Assemble with 14mm wrenches and leave loose, DO
NOT TIGHTEN.

6/ Take one of the supplied billet pieces and remove one of the bolts. This
allows you to open the piece and slide over the driver’s side toe link. Reattach
the bolt and washer (13mm wrench) with the HSport sticker pointing towards
the outside of the vehicle and tighten both bolts. You may angle the brace
up against the toe link itself to get enough leverage to tighten the bolts

7/ Using the (2), 8mm x 20mm bolts and washers, attach the billet piece to

the black bracket (13mm wrench) but DO NOT TIGHTEN. The black
bracket is slotted, so use the slots to maneuver the pieces in order to
thread the bolts.

8/ REPEAT THIS EXACT PROCESS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE USING
THE REMAINING BLACK BRACKET. DO NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE WAY.

9/ Now, you can install the rear HSport bar but without the bushings and
brackets.
