all paint, dirt, or debris from the axle housing where the
new bracket is to be installed. The inside front corner of
the coil spring mount will need to be cut / trimmed. From
the front of the mount, cut 1 ¼” back and ¾” in and down
to the axle (This is just a starting point. Each vehicle will
need to be trimmed to fit due to variances from Jeep to
Jeep).
