REAR SETUP (45” hose)
STEP 1: Lift the vehicle off the ground with a jack or on a stand. Remove the stock shock absorber from the vehicle. Install the Elka shock absorbers on the vehicle. The banjo bolt must face towards the front of the vehicle with the hose coming out on the left side. The rebound adjuster located at the bottom of the shock should face the rear of the quad for convenient access. The bottom fork of the shock can be turned 180° clockwise if needed.

Maxxcams are designed to add additional height adjustment to your vehicle. Under no circumstances should the truck be adjusted beyond the factory height measurement. The shock absorber is the suspension height limiter and only stock length shock absorbers are recommended without modification whatsoever. Adjusting vehicle suspension height beyond the maximum factory height can cause binding of crucial steering and suspension components.

Step 1. Before you remove anything off the truck, measure the pinion on the front and rear axle differential. Make sure to record this measurement as we will want to put each axle back to this angle after the suspension lift kit is installed. This is especially important for the front axle. Putting the front axle back to the same measurement will keep the stock camber and caster.
Step 2. Jack up the truck and place a jack stand under the frame on each side of the truck. Jack the truck up enough so that the front tires are just barely off the ground. Take a motorcycle strap and wrap the strap around the differential and to the frame. This will help keep the axle in the generalproximitywhile the factory suspension is removed and the 4 link is installed.
