Install the coil-over shocks. The
Unser Edition G-Comp rear
suspension features an adjustable
lower shock mount. To install the
shock, first use the two 7/16”-20 x 1 -1/4”
bolts and lock nuts to install the shock
brackets to the shock mount on the truck
arm. Then use a 1/2”-20 x 2-1/4” bolt and
lock nut to secure the lower end of the
shock to the truck arm as shown. The
remaining 1/2”-20 x 3” bolts and lock
nuts are used along with two 5/16” spacers
to install the top of the shocks into the
rear crossmember.
Note:
This kit is
designed to use 4” stroke shocks with
a compressed length of 10”-11” and an
extended length of 14”-15”. Shock ends
should be 1/2” bearings with a mounting
width of 1”. For recommended part numbers,
please visit our website or contact one of our
tech experts.

Alignment:
Lower the car onto the ground and check for desired ride height. Adjust ride height if necessary by raising
the car and spinning the adjusting collar on the coil-over. Once the ride height has been set, lower the car
onto the ground and make sure the rear end is centered in the car body. Adjust the watts link rods if
necessary. For optimum handling and performance, both rods should be parallel with the ground and
the center pivot should be at a 90° angle. This kit provides multiple mounting locations for the watts link
to allow for different ride heights. Now that the ride height is set and the rear end is centered perfectly in
the car, the rear end can be aligned by adjusting the cam bolts on the front of the truck arms.
Note:
This is
difficult to do accurately and a professional alignment is recommended. This method will get you close
enough to drive the car to an alignment shop.
