14. To install your new Sway-A-Way shocks align the upper shock mount inside the stock coil
housing with the Schrader valve facing outwards and loosely secure with the supplied
3/8” bolts and lock washers.
15. Using a 19mm wrench and 19mm socket or wrench, secure the shock to the lower arm
utilizing the stock bolt (19mm) and nut (19 mm) as well as the special provided bearing
spacers. (You may have to pry the lower arm down some to line up the shock eyelet with
the lower mount). The longer spacer should face towards the front of the vehicle.
16. Using 14mm” wrench or socket torque the upper mount 3/8” bolts to 50ft lbs and the
lower shock mount bolt (19mm) to 85ft lbs using a 19mm wrench or socket.
17. Mount the swaybar relocation pads to the frame, using the stock bolts. Remount the
swaybar on using the hardware provided, making certain the swaybar clamps are on the
correct side of the vehicle and are pointed in the correct direction. The slot or hole should
be towards the rear of the vehicle and the fork end should be towards the front.
18. Replace the skid plate.
19. Reconnect the tie-rods. Make sure to use a safety pin on the tie rod end nut.
20. Replace the wheels. Tighten the lug nuts to factory torque specifications and set the
vehicle on the ground. Inspect the ride height.
21. The shocks are preloaded from the factory with 2-2.5” of lift, depending on the body style
of the vehicle. The preload may also have to be modified to get the truck level from
passenger to driver side. If the lift is too much loosen the coil spring adjuster. If the lift is
not enough tighten the coil spring adjuster. Repeat until you have achieved the desired
lift. Remember to loosen setscrew and lift the vehicle back up with a jack if adjusting the
height and also to tighten the setscrew when all adjusting has been completed. It is not
recommended to lift the vehicle more than 2.5”.
22. After you have finished installing your suspension kit, you must have the front end
aligned.
