ally does not relate to personal injury, although damage
to your JKS product or other property may result if you
fail to follow instructions.

Modifying your Jeep® to improve off-road perfor-
mance may result in vehicle handling different than as

or chassis articulation; reduced lateral stability and
higher risk of roll-over or other accident. Also, owner’s
choice of larger tire and wheel combinations may
require additional braking force or increased stopping
distances.
To reduce risk of serious injury and accident:
ÂChoose modications that balance your actual
highway & off-road use.
ÂAvoid sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers or steep
side-cambers.
ÂAvoid other maneuvering conditions which may
cause the vehicle to trip, roll, lose traction or
compromise your ability to safely brake in an
emergency.
ÂRoutinely inspect your vehicle components for
unusual wear or off-road damage. Repair or
Replace any unserviceable components before
use.
ÂDo not modify or combine body lifts with other
mechanical lifts contrary to manufacturers’ or
Jeep® recommendations & warnings.
ÂAcquaint any other drivers with your vehicle
modications and handling.
ÂAlways wear seat belts and/or appropriate off-road
restraints, reduce your speed, Tread Lightly©.

hardware per the factory service manual
instructions for your vehicle.
2. INSTALL UPPER MOUNTING POSTS
Mount the tapered Stainless Steel Post (C) on the
outboard side of the swaybar, ensuring small Click
Pin holes are horizontal or parallel with the ground
Apply medium strength threadlocker to the tip of

1/2" x 1-1/4” Bolt (A) and 1/2” Lock Washer (I) from
the inboard side and tighten to 65 ft-lb. using a
torque wrench.
HINT: A small Philips head screwdriver or punch
inserted into the Click Pin hole will enable you to pre-
vent the mounting post from rotating when tightening
the nut.

the axle housing. Insert the steel OE Bracket
Spacer (J) into the U-bracket.

Range. Vehicle must be at normal ride height and
located on level ground.
Once adjusted, lay Quicker Disconnects on a
at surface and tighten 5/8” Jam Nuts (L) rmly
against the Lower Ends (H).

clean and apply rubber lubricant to chassis-mounted
bushings, and reinstall.
Maintenance
It is important to lubricate Quicker Disconnects fre-
quently for the rst three (3) months after installation
to evacuate contaminants that may build up during
break-in period.
After break-in period, Quicker Disconnects should be
lubricated regularly as part of vehicle maintenance
schedule.
Regular cleaning with pressurized water is recom-
mended to maximize ease of operation and reliability.
Always lubricate afterwards to evacuate any moisture.
