Step 2 front:  
Take the front upper lift plates and slide then inside the upper crossmember. This is where 
the upper front shock mounts to.  
 
Step 3 front: 
using the supplied spacer, you will install the spacer in-between the upper lift plates, it 
might be a tight fit, as some of the OEM brackets are tight and some are loose.  
You will be able to slide the plates alone the inside of the U channel where the upper shock 
mounted. Using the supplied bolts, secure loosely the top bolt with inner spacer.  

(NOTE: now would be a good time to lube the shock eyelets, as they are dry and have no 
lube available to them.) 

 
Step 4 front:  
Use the OEM shock, bolt it to the lower bolts on the lift brackets, keeping every thing loose 
for now. This is done to allow for alignment until every bolt is in place. Lift the front 
suspension up with your hands and now secure the lower shock eye to mount to the OEM 
position with the stock OEM bolt you removed. Perform this for both sides.  
 
Step 5 front:  
Once the lift kit brackets are installed and all the shock bolts are secured back, you can go 
through and tighten the bolts to approx. 35ft lbs.
