Jeep Grand Cherokee 1999 – 2004 Polyurethane Lift PDF Installation Instructions

FRONT: 1. Secure and properly block the tires of vehicle on a level concrete or asphalt surface. 2. Jack up front of vehicle and install jack stands under frame behind the lower link rear brackets. Remove tires and front shocks. 3. Loosen, but DO NOT remove the sway bar end link’s lower bolts at axle housing on both sides (see picture #1). Lower front axle down until coil springs become loose. Remove the bottom bolt and clip from left front coil spring (see picture #2). 4. Now remove both coil springs. 5. Install 2″ coil spring isolator pads on top (front spring) of the factory pads. Place the 2″ spacer in the lower mount for the rear spring. (See picture #4)

Raise jack up so that enough load is applied to hold coil springs in place. Reinstall spring bolt and clip at bottom of left front coil. Install new shocks. 6. Completely lower vehicle to the ground. Now tighten the sway bar endlink’s lower bolts loosened from step #3. POST INSTALLATION ChECKS/ALIGNMENT: • After installation is complete, double check that all nuts and bolts are tight. (Do not retighten nuts and bolts where Loctite was used.) Check to ensure there is adequate clearance between all rotating, mobile and fixed members. • Rotate driveshafts and check for interference at differential yoke and cardan joint. If necessary, lightly dress casting(s) and/or U-joint tabs in order to eliminate binding. • Check clearance between inner side wall of tires and links. It may be necessary to adjust steering stops. Notice: Adjust drag link so that steering wheel remains centered and wheel sweep from side to side remains equal.

Failure to do so may cause computer errors, odd handling characteristics and poor performance. Have a qualified alignment center check and realign to factory specifications. Notice: With vehicle securely elevated, carefully inspect and adjust to assure adequate clearance between tires (inner side wall), body and suspension components throughout range of steering and suspension travel. Additionally, carefully inspect and adjust to maintain clearance between suspension components, wiring harnesses, exhaust, brake and fuel lines, fuel tank, floorboards and body panels. Complete by properly torquing all fasteners. Notice: With vehicle now on floor, again check clearances, cycle steering lock to lock and test proper brake operation. Raised vehicle height requires realigning headlights. Consult your state’s lighting regulations. Wheels must be realigned by qualified service center to factory specifications. Notice: Re-torque fasteners after 500 miles. Thereafter, regularly inspect and re-torque as needed. Follow vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance procedures and routinely inspect your vehicle components for unusual wear or off-road damage.
