Note: There are six snap ring grooves located on the new
Skyjacker strut body for 1" to 3" lift heights. The ring is installed in
the second groove from the top when shipped. This will yield 2.5" -
3" of lift. The upper groove is only to be used when 2.5" - 3" of lift is
desired, after aftermarket accessories have been added that weigh
the front of the vehicle down (ie. winch, after market bumper, & etc).
The lower grooves can be used if you would like to keep the OEM
rake of the vehicle (front of vehicle lower than the rear). Once the
coil spring seat retaining ring has been installed, check all
suspension components for any contact or interference. If
suspension component contact or interference is present,
lower the coil spring seat by lowering the coil spring seat
retaining ring until no contact or interference is present.
11. Assemble the strut assemblies using the new Skyjacker struts. (See
Photo # 7) Note: The OEM upper stem bushings will be reused.
12. Connect the new strut assemblies to the OEM lower A-arms using
the OEM hardware. Note: Install the OEM bolts from the rear,
towards the front of the vehicle. (See Photo # 8)
13. Connect the OEM upper strut mounts
to the frame using the OEM hardware.
Connect the OEM upper A-arms to the
OEM steering knuckles using the OEM
hardware. Note: It may be necessary
to use a pry bar to pull the OEM
A-arms down enough to reattach.
