ANT NOTES
-Skyjacker strongly advises taking extreme caution when working with loaded coil springs to
prevent accident or harm.
-Trucks w/o manual locking hubs, height must not be adjusted over 2" above factory height.
-Both coil over assemblies should be adjusted to the same length after installation. It is VERY
IMPORTANT that after installation the coil does not have any slack between the mounting
cups. At no time during axle travel should the coil lose contact with the mounting points.
-When final adjustments are made the setscrew MUST be tightened. At no time should the
coil over assembly be ran without the set screw being tight.

11. Assemble new Coil-Over as shown in Photo #7. Attach new skyjacker coil over to new upper mounting bracket using the 1/2 x 2 1/2” fine
thread bolt, washers, and nut. Attach new coil -over assembly to factory
upper mount using the 7/16 x 1” fine thread bolts, washers and nuts. (See
Photo #8).
12. Attach lower shock mount to factory location using factory bolt and hardware. With Coil-Over installed, measure the amount of exposed thread
above the upper spanner nut. 1.75” of thread should yield 2.5”-3” of lift.
(See Arrow in Photo #8)
13. Locate new aluminum sway bar relocation brackets. Attach new aluminum
bracket to the factory location in the frame using the factory hardware.
Factory bolts will mount through the counter-sunk holes. Attach swat bar
