F. Install the upper and lower ends of the shock absorbers with the new supplied eye ring bushings and

attach the upper and lower mounts. Temporarily hand tighten. Refer to Figure 5 for the correct

orientation of the eye-ring bushings.

G. Orient the shock/reservoir assemblies as depicted in Figures 1-4.

H. 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 fasteners.

I. Tighten upper and lower fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual torque specifications.

J. Carefully check for any possible dynamic interference between the reservoirs and any other

components on the vehicle (specifically the E-brake cable, exhaust hanger, leaf springs, and spare tire),

then make any necessary adjustments to the reservoir positions. The reservoir mounting locations

depicted herein are appropriate for this application; however, some aftermarket components such as

tires and/or lift kit combinations may create interference problems. It is the responsibility of the installer

to determine if the reservoir is mounted appropriately and if there is any potential for interference.

K. If no potential interference is found, tighten the hose clamps until the reservoirs cannot be manually

moved independent of the shock body. This completes the installation.
