A new lift for the

-page 3-
TIP: It is
helpful to wire tie or similar the bump stop
spacer into the spring before installing.
This keeps it out of the way and frees up a
hand.
Install the front
springs with the spacer inside the spring. Using
the fasteners provided attach the bump stop
spacers to the spring pad.

Raise the axle on
the jack to just before the Jeep lifts off the
jack stands. Install the new sway bar
links. NOTE: Shown here they are
installed incorrectly. We figured this out
later. The sway bar links are
installed with the top on the outside and the
bottom on the inside.
Spread some grease on the track bar bushings and
using a vice, press in the bushings and sleeves
into the track bar ends. As a good
starting point on the adjustable track bar using
two bolts insert a bolt into one end of the
track bar and rotate the adjustable end to align
the holes. Rotate the end one more turn
and lightly tighten the jam nut. Install
the track bar starting at the frame then the
axle. You may need to turn the steering
wheel to help align the bottom bolt.
Install the
shocks. Raise the Jeep off the jack stands
and put the tires back on. Tighten all
fasteners to specifications according to the BDS
instructions. We will finish the front
adjustment after the rear.
