Installation
1. REMOVE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT (OE)
REAR SWAYBAR LINKS
Remove the original mounting hardware that
secures the rear swaybar links to the swaybar and
chassis.
Discard original rear swaybar links, but retain
mounting hardware.
Rotate swaybar up and down to simulate full sus-
pension travel. Check center of swaybar to ensure
it does not contact axle housing.
Also check angle of swaybar swing-arms in rela-
tion to lower rear suspension arms. Optimum
performance will be achieved when these components are close to parallel.
If you did not achieve the desired results with
Recommended Length, ne tune the length until
desired results are achieved.
2. DETERMINE PROPER LENGTH OF
ADJUSTABLE SWAYBAR LINKS
The Adjustable Rear Swaybar Links can be adjusted to
any length between 7” and 10-1/2” (measured from center-
to-center of bushings). However, the three Recommended
Lengths indicated in the chart below will suit most applications.
Choose the Recommended Length from the fol-
lowing chart that corresponds with the amount of
rear suspension lift on your vehicle.
Rotate the rear swaybar until the distance be-
tween the original mounting holes on the swaybar and chassis is equal to the Recommended
Length* for your vehicle.
3. MODIFY CONNECTING ROD
For applications with less than 4” of Suspension Lift, it may
be necessary to cut some thread material from each end
of the Connecting Rod (A).
HINT: No cutting is required for vehicles with 4-6” of Suspension Lift – proceed directly to Section 4.
Remove Bushing Eyelets (C) from both ends of the
Connecting Rod (A).
Refer to the following list to determine proper Con-
necting Rod (A) length for your application.
Using illustration below as a reference, mark each
end of the Connecting Rod (A) indicating the appropriate locations to cut. HINT: Remove same
amount of thread material from each end.
