8. Using the 21mm socket or wrench, remove the nut on the end of the tie–rod and then
move the steering are out of the way. This will make the removal of the stock strut and
installation of the new Racerunner shock easier.
9. Using a 27mm socket and a Large Crescent Wrench or socket remove the bolt (27mm)
and nut (Crescent Wrench) from the lower shock mount. Remove the entire shock
assembly from the truck.
10. 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.
11. Using a 15/16” socket and wrench secure the shock to the lower arm utilizing the stock
mounting hardware. (Ensure that the Schrader valve is facing outboard towards the tire,
you may have to pry the lower arm down some to line up the shock eyelet with the lower
mount).
12. Using a 9/16” wrench or socket torque the new spring hat 3/8”bolts to 50ft lbs and the
lower shock mount bolt (5/8”) to 85ft lbs using a 15/16” wrench or socket.
13. Reconnect the tie-rod and torque to factory specs.
14. After having secured the shock to the lower arm you can set the initial ride height. Do
steps 6 to 13 for the removal and installation of shock on other side.
15. Replace the wheels. Tighten the lug nuts to factory torque specifications and set the
vehicle on the ground. Inspect the ride height.
16. If you are happy with the achieved lift you are done. If you would like to change the height
of the vehicle, you can use the supplied spanner wrench to raise or lower the height.
Loosen the set screw on the coil nut, then turn clock wise to raise the vehicle, or counter-
clockwise to lower the vehicle. Repeat until you have achieved the desired lift. Lifting the
vehicle from the frame will take pressure off the spring and make it easier to turn.
Remember to tighten the setscrew when all adjusting has been completed.
After you have finished installing your suspension kit, you must
have the front end aligned.
