INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PPM-8086 JK REAR LONG TRAVEL UPPER

SHOCK MOUNT

GENERAL NOTES:

• These instructions are also available on our website at www.synergymfg.com

Check the website for any updated instructions and additional photos for
reference.

• Bracket is designed to be bolted on but can be welded on as well if desired.

• Installation will require moderate cutting and drilling. A 4.5” cut off wheel, drill

and basic hand tools are required for installation.

• This bracket is designed to be used in conjunction with PPM-8078 JK Rear HD

Lower Shock Mount for optimum ground clearance and suspension travel.

• This installation can be done with the vehicle on the ground sitting on its tires.

However it is easier to install with the vehicle jacked up in the air and the
suspension drooped out.

• When installing shock mounts / shocks, we strongly recommend the removal of

coils and cycling of suspension to determine correct bump-stop spacing as to
prevent damage to both shocks and shock mounts due to premature bottoming.

• The installation of this bracket will require modification of the factory exhaust or

replacement with a cat back system that relocates the muffler to a different
location from stock.

1. For 07-11 models, we recommend AFE Exhaust P/N 49-46226.

2. For 12+ models, we recommend AFE Exhaust P/N 49-46222

• This bracket relocates the upper shock mount up and back thus putting slightly

more angle on the rear shocks. Change in ride quality is possible due to the
change in mounting locations, note that a shock re-valve may be needed to retain
the same ride quality as before.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Begin by removing the rear shocks from the vehicle. Retain the factory upper
shock bolts as they will be reused in the installation of the new shock mount.

2) Next, start marking out the areas to be cut out of the stock shock mount.
Note- exact cut is up to installer, but for new shock mount to fit, the upper
bent lip of the stock mount must be removed for new mount to sit flush.
Additionally, the frame side tie in of the stock shock mount must be trimmed /
removed.
