  &nbps;Each 5mm longer then stock will lower approx. 1/2 - 3/4 inch. Don't have to lock them tight just snug.
4. Install adjustable links with long end to top. May need pliers to squeeze on.

Rear:

1. Jack up the rear and support on stands. The ride height sensor arm is above the differential.
2. Mark the link 1st so you have a reference of the stock length. To lower the rear lossen the 10mm bolt that is in the middle of the link.

If you are not happy you can easily re-adjust each link to lower more or less. Just remove the long side of the link by using a 10mm wrench instead of the adjustable wrench. Give a little twist, pop it off, adjust and reinstall. After you are satisfied you may lock them tight but not mandatory. They will never move or rotate themselves.

Enjoy!!!

Depending how low you make the vehicle, a wheel alignment may be required to reduce tire wear. When doing one make sure to have the vehicle at the highest setting.
