1. Install the lower shock bracket to the rear leg of the lower control arm. One hole of the
shock bracket will locate on the front rivet that attaches the coilspring plate to the control
arm. The second attachment hole will need to be drilled. You will need to grind off the lip
of the coilspring plate to get the shock bracket to sit flat on the control arm.
2. After the lower shock bracket is attached to the lower control arm, install the shock
absorber and install the upper mount onto the shock. Swing this assembly into position to
determine the exact location of the upper bracket.[NOTE: The suspension and the shock
should be fully compressed to properly locate the upper shock bracket.] This upper
bracket may require final trimming for best fit. Tack the upper bracket in place and run
the suspension through its entire travel to ensure there is no interference with other
suspension components. The bracket can then be fully welded into place.
