Parts 2. MOUNT RELOCATION BRACKET TO FACTORY AXLE BRACKET To ensure a proper fit, clean any dirt, debris or grease from surface of factory track bar bracket and axle tube. Position Relocation Bracket (A) directly above factory axle bracket. Make sure lower mounting tab on Relocation Bracket rests against forward face of factory axle bracket and radius edges rest on axle tube.

Secure the original track bar mounting bolt with the original flag nut. Do not tighten bolt yet. Raise extension tab on Riser Brace (B) until flush against side of Relocation Bracket (A). The two mounting holes on extension tab should align with corresponding holes on side of Relocation Bracket. 3. RE-INSTALL REAR TRACK BAR Slide axle end of rear track bar into pocket of Relocation Bracket (A). Make sure track bar aligns with mounting hole in bracket.

Determine if the axle housing is centered by measuring the distance between the tire and chassis, using the exact same points on each side of the vehicle to ensure accuracy. HINT: For example, measure from the edge of a tire tread lug to the outboard side of the chassis, then repeat the measurement on the other side of vehicle using exact same points. The rear axle housing must be in perfect lateral alignment with vehicle chassis before you proceed with installation.
