D. Using the size 7 drill bit, drill a hole in side of the frame rail at each of the points marked. It is
recommended to drill a smaller pilot hole first to prevent the larger bit from wandering. Be sure to keep the
drill bit as perpendicular as possible to the side of the frame rail. It is also recommended to use cutting oil
to drill the frame.
E. Tap the holes using the ¼”-20 tap. Be sure to keep the tap as perpendicular as possible to the side of the
frame rail. It is recommended to use cutting oil to tap the threads in the frame. Clean out the chips and oil
after tapping.
F. Using the provided ¼”-20 bolts and split washers, install the reservoir bracket onto the frame. The concave
side of the bracket must face outward. It is recommended that a non-permanent thread locking compound
be used on the threads.
G. Torque both bolts to 10 lb•ft (13.6 N•m).
H. Using the provided hose clamps, slide the open bands through the thin slots on the sides of the bracket.
I. Secure the reservoir to the bracket using the hose clamps. The hose fittings are designed to swivel to allow
the reservoir and hose to be more easily positioned. Tighten the hose clamps sufficiently to prevent the
reservoir from slipping, but loose enough to allow for small subsequent adjustments of position. Figure 4
depicts the reservoir installed.

J.
Carefully check for any possible interference between the reservoir/hose and any other components on the
vehicle, then make any necessary adjustments to the reservoir/hose positions. The reservoir mounting
locations depicted are appropriate for most trucks for which this kit is intended, however, some wheel/tire
and/or lift kit combinations may create interference problems. It is the responsibility of the installer to
determine if the reservoirs are mounted appropriately and if there is any potential for interference.
K. If no potential interference is found, tighten the hose clamps until the reservoir cannot be manually moved.
L. If a chassis hoist has been used, be sure to lower the vehicle such that its full weight is on the suspension
prior to fully tightening the shock fasteners.
M. Tighten the locknut on the stem to 25 N•m (19 lb•ft). Tighten the lower mount to the vehicle manufacturer’s
service manual torque specifications.
