1. Remove factory cross shafts from lower arm and install the factory cross shaft onto the lower StrongArm using the factory hardware. Some grinding must be done on the cross shaft to be able to slide it into the StrongArm. Replacement bushings are provided.
Note: There is a driver and passenger side lower cross shaft. The extended length of the shaft should go to the front of the vehicle.
Installation Instructions
6. Grease the ball joints.
7. Double check air spring clearance through full suspension travel. If any part of the Shockwave touches the frame at anytime it will damage the unit. This is not a warrantable
situation.
4. Bolt the Shockwave or CoilOver to the lower arm using the supplied 1/2" x 3 1/4" bolt and Nylok. An aluminum spacer on both sides of the eye will center the Shockwave.
Note: There are holes on the lower arm near the ball joint to mount the factory bump stop. Although, it is not needed unless you are having tire clearance issues.
5. Slide the ball joint through the spindle and secure w/ castle nut and cotter pin.
