1. To begin installation, block the rear tires of the vehicle so that the
vehicle is stable and can’t roll backwards. Safely lift the front of the
vehicle and support the frame with jack stands. Place jack stands
on both the driver and the passenger sides of the vehicle. Place a
floor jack centered under the axle to support the weight of the axle
and remove the wheels from both sides.

MM bolt/nut - ft. lbs.
*When applicable, torque should be applied to the nut.
. Repeat each step of installation on both sides of the vehicle at
the same time. Remove the bolts from the lower shock mounts on
the axle. Using the floor jack, move the axle up or down to set the
axle right at the end of the shock travel. This makes removing the
shock bolts easier.
2.1 If installing the HBS lower shock relocation brackets, save
the OEM lower shock bolts–you’ll need them for reinstallation.
2.2 If installing the Bilstein Series extended shocks, use the
vehicle’s service manual to remove the existing shocks completely.
Then, using the supplied stem mounting hardware, install lower
washer, sleeve, and bushing on shock stem. Install the Bilstein
shock in the original location. Install the upper bushing, washer and
nut. Fasteners will be torqued once the full weight of the vehicle is
on the suspension. Refer to the Bilstein instructions for diagram.
. Mark the rotational position of both the spring and rubber isola-
tor to ensure correct positioning upon reinstallation. Lower the axle
with the floor jack (figure B). Use caution when lowering the axle
as the springs will be completely released and can fall out. Remove
the coil spring and the rubber isolator. Set aside for reinstallation.
4. Install the HBS shock bracket, if applicable, onto the bottom
mount of the OEM shock using the MM fastener provided. Torque
to spec. (figure C on the next page).
