2 bolts will go on each side of the Slider.

Upon test fitting it was obviously very quickly that there was a gap between the Support Bridge and the Slider. Of course after scratching my head for a few minutes and with the Help of NO-MORYJ who came up it was obvious when we found a package labled Support Bridge shims. DUHHHHH

Using the longer supplied bolts and the shims. Place a shim on both sides to take up the gap.

Tighten the 4bolts on both sides to ******************** with a ***************** wrench or socket.

Heres what the bushings look like on the Stinger. These are not exactly the way they are installed, but there will be a drawing later.

Same here. This are typically how the bushings look.

This is how the end of the Stinger looks. The bolt on the very end is to ajust the Thrust Angle and the two nuts on the U shapped bracket are to adjust the pinion angle.

The provided bolt goes through the U shapped bracket and the Transfercase skid.

I left the Bottom and top nut loose on purpose while installing.


The instructions metioned that for a short arm lift there should be more than 90degrees between the U shaped bracket and the end of the stinger.

Using a angle finder which is naturally at a 90degrees I have more. Probably closer to 95. If I need more angle you could loosen the top bolt above the U bracket and add washers. Im not sure exactly what or how it works so Im ignoring it for now.

Use a 15mm socket or wrench loosen the bolt on the drivers side control arm. Do not remove the bolt just loosen it so you can pull it out easily.

Tighten up the bottom bolt on the U bracket until its snug as well as the top bolt. If you do it correctly as soon as you remove the bolt from the Drivers side upper control arm your pinion angle should not move. Double check your pinion angle. I like to keep mine around 1 to 1.5 from the driveshaft to the rear yoke.

After you check your pinion this is what the finished Stinger/Slider installed looks like.

This is from the Diff looking towards the Tummy Tuck.

Now Put your Jeep on Jackstands. Its time to pull the tires and axles out so we can redrill the lower control arm mounts.

*** Note from here on out its totally optional. I drove the Jeep for a week without drilling the lower control arms and I do admit it felt great. However since I have redrilled and relocated the lower control arms the Jeep feels a bit more stable on and off road. As well if you have a D44 or no C-clip axle you can remove your axles without draining your rear diff fluid.

Use a wrench and loosen and drain your rear diff fluid.
