Installation Instructions
1. Raise and support vehicle at a safe, comfortable working height. Let the front suspension
hang freely.
2. Remove the coil spring, shock absorber, upper and lower control arms, sway bar and the strut
rods. There is a washer on each side of the lower control arm frame bushing, these will
be reused. The factory lower control arm bolt will be reused as well.
Note: This kit is designed for use with our MuscleBar sway bar. It is easier to install it before
the lower arms. The factory sway bar will not fit.
3. Bolt the lower StrongArm to the frame
using the factory bolt. Be sure to
reinstall the T washers that came off
the factory arm bushing.
4. The front leg of the lower arm will
attach to the frame in place of the strut
rod. Refer to the diagram on the next
page for assembly order.
Note: The hole in the frame may need
to be buffed to allow bearing assembly to
slide in.
5. Using the bearing retainer as a
template; drill three 3/8” holes in the
frame to secure the assembly. Use
three 3/8” x 1 ¼” SHCS and lock
washers to secure the assembly.
6. Attach the Shockwave to the lower
control arm using a ½” x 3” bolt and
Nylok jam nut. An aluminum spacer
must be installed on each side of the
bearing.
7. Two 3/8” x 1 ¼” bolts and nuts are
supplied for the steering stop. They will
bolt to the rear side of the ball joint plate.
This can be adjusted to limit steering
radius.
8. The Caster setting on this system has
a lot of adjustment. We recommend
setting it at 3-3.5 degrees.
9. Driving height pressure should be
around 100psi. 6-8 clicks in the shocks
will be a good starting point. This will
vary to vehicle weight and driver
preference.
