Installation Instructions for ARF10900-LCA
1. Raise the vehicle to a safe and comfortable working height. Support the vehicle by the
frame so that the suspension can hang freely.
2. Remove the coil spring, lower control arm and shock absorber. Refer to factory service
manual for disassembly procedures.
3. The inner fender well shield next to the upper control arm and the factory brake line frame
bracket must also be removed.
4. Remove the factory upper shock
mount. The front of it is held in with two
rivets that must be ground down and
pushed out. In its place install the
upper air spring mounting plate & shim.
The shim will go under the front side of
the plate and is secured with two 3/8” x
1 ½” bolts, flat washers, nuts and lock
washers. The rear side of the plate will
be secured with one 3/8” x 1 ¼” bolt
flat washer and lock washer.
5. Apply thread sealant to a straight air
line fitting and screw it into the top of
the air spring. Fasten the air spring to
the upper mount using two 3/8” Nylok
nuts and flat washers.
6. Thread the 7/16” x 6 ¾” stud into
the nut in the bottom of the bracket.
7. Raise the assembly into the coil
spring pocket with the stud protruding
through the upper plate. The wings on
the side of the bracket will rest against
the flat side of the coil spring retainer.
8. Secure the assembly with a 7/16”
Nylok nut and flat washer. Note: The
air line must also be routed at this time.
9. Bolt the lower StongArm to the
frame using the 3/4" x 8” bolt and the
two spacers supplied. Install the 1”
spacer to the front side of the bushing
and the 1 7/16” spacer to the rear. A
large washer will go between the
bushing and the spacers.
10. Attach the lower arm to the spindle
and strut rod. Two 1/2” x 1 ½” bolts
and lock washers are supplied for the
strut rod.
11. Fasten the air spring to the lower
arm using a 3/8” x 3/4" bolt, flat washer
and lock washer.
12. Raise the lower arm with a jack.
Mark the frame where the lower shock
tab contacts it. This must be cut out to
allow clearance. Grind all edges
smooth when finished.
13. Bolt the upper shock mount to the
subframe using four 3/8” x 1” self
tapping bolts. The bracket will locate
off of the factory bolt shown in the
picture. Drill the holes with a 5/16” bit.
14. The inner fender well must be
trimmed to allow clearance for the
shock mount. Be careful not to cut
anything inside engine bay.
15. Remove the factory brake line
bracket.
This picture is of the passenger
side.
16. Bolt the top of the shock to the
upper mount using the bushings and
hardware supplied.
17. Install the round head shock bolt
through the lower shock eye. Then
install the aluminum spacer with the
step facing the arm. Slide the bolt
through the arm and fasten with the
nut supplied.
This picture is of the driver side.
18. Install the new brake line bracket
with using the factory bolts and clip.
19. Check air spring clearance
through full suspension travel.
Allowing the air spring to rub will
result in failure and is not a
warrantable situation.
20. Ride height on this air spring is
approximately 5” tall, but will vary to
driver preference.
