FIT and TOLERANCES: All parts in this system are the results of countless hours of research, testing, fitting
and refining. Jeep® frames have a wide tolerance on bolt hole centers from frame to frame. This is why

M.O.R.E.™ has installed several “slots” in which to mount our bracketry. In addition to the factory tolerances,
most people install other then factory equipment such as bumpers, springs etc. M.O.R.E.™ has done the best

job we can to insure that our parts fit with all of the possibilities. However, you may find it necessary to grind,
elongate, bend, or force the parts in this system to fit on your rig. Please use common sense when installing
these parts and let us know how we can improve them. Thank you.

GENERAL: This S.R.S.™ mounts the pivot (large eye) end of the leaf spring at the front of the frame and the
shackle (small eye) end of the spring is not addressed in this system. (M.O.R.E.™ has several methods for
mounting the shackle, with other part numbers). This system will fit stock leaf springs (2” wide), or MOST after­market leaf springs up to four inches of lift (2” or 2-1/2” wide). Improved handling and ride quality will be noticed

regardless of other modifications to the suspension system. The frame of your Jeep® must be factory stock and
straight. It WILL NOT FIT if it has been modified. Have it checked for trueness at a frame shop BEFORE you
begin. It has been designed to fit with a Warn®* or Ramsey®* winch mounting kit and will work with stock and
MOST aftermarket bumpers. This system is a bolt-on, no welding required. *Electric winches with feet down
style mounting system only, 9000 LB. or less.

LEAF SPRINGS: The springs you use MUST have a center bolt that is "centered” in the spring stack. Measure

your leaf spring from large eye to center bolt, small eye to center bolt and write down these measurements. They

MUST be the within 3/8”. The reason for this is this kit has been designed to lengthen the wheelbase of the

Jeep® 1-1/8”. This way, the tire won't hit the back of the front fender upon suspension compression. If your
spring center bolt is off-set it will not work as designed and tire to fender contact, or steering linkage interference
could occur. Now, DO NOT PANIC if your springs don't have a centered center bolt. This kit will still work. Just
call us for further instructions on how to proceed.

PITMAN ARM: It is designed to work with the stock pitman arm. If you have a “dropped” pitman arm, it is possi-

ble that the tie rod and pitman arm could contact during suspension compression. Make sure that you check this

before driving the Jeep® . You may have to go back to the stock “straight” pitman arm, move the axle on the

spring stack for clearance or install our SB7686-1 Heavy Duty Steering Box bracket that moves the steering gear
forward 1-1/4”.

DRIVE SHAFT: The front drive shaft will need to have longer slip-yoke installed. Due to the action of the sus­pension movement the stock slip-yoke will not have enough length or movement. We recommend calling the
following drive line shop: Tom Wood’s custom drive shafts at 877-497-4238.

TIRE SIZE: Stock leaf spring equipped Jeeps® can use up to a 30” tall tire without fender contact. 2.5” lift spring
equipped Jeeps® can use a 31" tall tire, or up to a 32” tall tire if the bump stop is lowered one inch. 3.5” to 4” lift
spring equipped Jeeps® can run up to a 33” tall tire if the bump stop is lowered two inches. If your running a tire

larger then 33" tall, plan on lowering the bump stop (a bunch), installing a body lift (minimum 1") and possibly
trimming the fender.
