Torque Specs:
- Clamps need to be torqued to 80-85 ft lbs and should be oriented so that they do not interfere with anything else (generally facing forward or down). Clamp torque needs to be checked at 500 miles, and then again at 2000 miles. After that, every oil change the torque specs should be checked as well as after any hard wheeling/off-roading
Notes:
** Tie rod fits all left-hand drive JL/JT models
*** Requires a 1-3/4" diameter damper bracket (not included)
**** A minimum of 17" wheel is recommended
