Slide the spring over the damper, and then install the spring hat at the other end of the coil-over assembly.
You may have to slide the rubber bumper down on the shaft to install the top hat. Rotate the shock collar
to preload the spring. Re-install the “C” clip to the coil over top hat locking it into place.
Front Coil-Over Shock Mounting

¾” Socket, ¾” Wrench, jack.

Assembled front coil-over (450lb springs) and coil-over mounting hardware.
Insert the coil-over assembly through the upper control arm (the body of the shock down). It is helpful at
this time to jack up the lower control arm so the shock will slip in.
Attach the shock to the upper mount on the frame using the supplied hardware (FFR# 25376, 25618,
14063) and shock spacers (shock spacers for the front suspension are equal length; one is installed on
either side of the rod end).
Torque to specifications.
The lower shock mount uses the same spacer arrangement as the upper mount along with the same bolt
and nut. Install in a similar manner and torque to specifications ( ¾” wrench).
