1.        Before you begin, verify package contents and organize your parts.

Kit Contents:

                 

 

4.        Open both of then KDSS Valves 3 turns. Do not open more than 3 full turns.

5.        Starting from the Drivers (left) side loosen and remove the nut for the End link to Sway bar connection. Retain Nut.

6.        Loosen and remove the passenger (right) End link to Sway bar nut. This uses a Hex key to hold the ball join in place while you loosen the nut. Retain the Nut.

7.        Loosen both end links to LCA stock M14 bolts.

8.        Loosen and remove M12 bolts (screws) which attach the Sway bar to the chassis (4), Factory M12 screws will not be reused. The sway bar will be completely loose but not free as is held by the Hydraulic ram on the driver’s side. There is no need to remove anything else from the sway bar.

 

 

Install in Chassis KDSS Bracket (locktite recommended)

9.        Using the 4 Supplied M12 x 35mm bolts install the bracket to the existing OEM mounts in the frame rails. Tighten to 64ft-lbs

10.  Starting on the driver’s (left) side loosely install the M12x20mm bolt to Anderson Chassis bracket. Only 1-2 turns are needed at this point. Be careful not to cross thread the brackets since they are made from Aluminum. These should be only loosely stalled at this point.

a.        A jack and/or rachet strap may be needed for this but I have found that having everything loose makes it a lot easier

11.  Repeat for Passenger (right) side.
