Step 9
Locate four 8-
32 x 5/8” screws and 4 thin and 4 thick nylon lower suspension arm risers.
Pass a screw through the chassis and slide a thin and a thick nylon riser over the screw. Start threading the
screw into the lower suspension arm but do not tighten it. Pass another screw through the chassis and slide a
thin and a thick nylon riser over that screw. Start threading the screw into the other hole on the lower
suspension arm. Tighten both screws. Repeat on the other side.
Special Note
:
In the photo we are using alloy ride height spacers. The kit includes black nylon spacers. You will have to add
or subtract spacers in order to achieve your desired ride height. If you want to use the alloy spacers you can
get a variety of sizes from

, (P/N DB5311-DB5316)
Locate two flex plates*, 2 Nickel Teflon plated Alloy
pivot balls, 2 delrin pivot ball housings, 2 delrin
housing caps, 2 10-32 set screws* and 4 2-56
button head screws.
1.
Place a pivot ball in a pivot ball housing with the
shoulder on the ball facing down.
2.
Place a housing cap over the ball.
3.
Place the flex plate over this assembly.
4.
Pass the 2-56 screws through the pivot ball
housing from the bottom up so they thread into
the flex plate.
5.
Thread 10-32 set screw into the large hole on
the flex plate above the housing cap. Just get
the 10-32 started into the flex plate for now as
we will adjust it later.
The 10-32 set screw is there to adjust tension on the
pivot ball so it can move freely but have zero play.
*Black flex plates and 10-32 set screws were used
for photos. The production links are natural G10 in
color and the production screws are stainless steel.
