6. Raise the rear differential to the rear leaf springs. Note: Be sure the rear leaf spring center tie
bolts & block pins align in the proper holes & are completely seated.
7. Install the new Skyjacker u-bolts using the supplied 5/8" fine thread nuts & a 15/16" socket /
wrench.
8. Install the new Skyjacker rear shocks using the OEM hardware, supplied hardware, a 18mm, &
21mm socket / wrench.
9. Install the rear tires / wheels using a 21mm socket & lower the rear of the vehicle to the ground.
10. Bleeding The Front & Rear Brake Systems: Fill the master cylinder with D.O.T. approved
brake fluid. Pump the brake pedal & hold down. While the brake pedal is down, open the
bleeder screw to release any air out of the brake system. Tighten the bleeder screw & re-pump
the brake pedal. Continue the pumping / bleeding process until no air is being expelled. Make
sure your master cylinder is full of brake fluid after each bleeding process. The brake pedal will
not "pump up" or will have excessive down-travel if all the air is not out of the brake system. It is
the customer's responsibility to check brake lines for any leaks, abrasion, proper clearances, &
brake line fittings after the first 100 miles & periodically thereafter.
Final Notes:
• After the installation is complete, double check that all nuts & bolts are tight. Refer to the following
chart for the proper torque specifications. (Do not retighten the nuts & bolts where thread lock
compound was used.)
• With the vehicle placed on the ground, cycle the steering lock to lock & inspect the steering,
suspension, brake lines, front & rear drivelines, fuel lines, & wiring harnesses for proper operation,
tightness, & adequate clearance.
• Have the headlights readjusted to the proper settings.
• Have a qualified alignment center align the vehicle to the OEM specifications.
• After the first 100 miles, check all hardware for the proper torque & periodically thereafter.
