Slide the boot upward to expose the opening in the Photo # 32 floor pan. 5. Shift the transmission into 2nd, 4th or Reverse verifying a Minimum of 1/8" Clearance between the shifter lever & the floor pan. If necessary, enlarge the opening in the floor pan with a round file. (See Photo # 32) 6. Reposition the boot clock wise to match the increased floor pan opening. Mark & drill three (3) new mounting holes. Reinstall the cover boot, console, & shift boot. Trim Final Clearance Check & Torque Steps: Notes: Check Front Center Axle Disconnect (CAD) connection & on RUBICON Models: Check Front & Rear locker connections. The Drag Link Must Be Adjusted to Center the Steering Wheel Before the Vehicle Is Driven. Failure to Do So Will Cause Computer Errors, Odd Handling Characteristics, & Poor Performance. 1. Start vehicle. Make sure there are no dash lights pertaining to suspension. 2. Jounce vehicle a couple of times. This will help suspension settle to new ride height. Cycle steering lock-to-lock & check all components for proper operation & clearances. Pay special attention to clearance between tires \ wheels, ADX Shocks & Reservoirs, control arms, brake hoses, ABS wiring, etc. Rotate the drive shafts & check for interference at the differential yoke & Cardan joint. If necessary, lightly dress the casting(s) and \ or u-joint tabs in order to eliminate binding. I-TJ4013B REV6 07/22 Page 11 of 14 3. Front Tighten & Torque Sequence.

Driveline vibrations can be caused from the removal or addition of a hardtop which changes the vehicle's rear weight & rear height. The weight affects the rear drive shaft pinion angle. Skyjacker's adjustable eccentric upper cam-bolt kit (Part # CAM500) will eliminate such vibrations by adjusting \ rotating the rear pinion angle up or down as needed. If already purchased, install eccentric upper cam-bolt kit using the steps below. Cam Bolt Installation: 1. Use Skyjacker # CAM500 Eccentric Cam Bolts for Rear Upper Control Arms at OEM axle mount brackets. Perform Steps on One Side at a Time. Disconnect rear OEM upper control Photo # 33 Sample of Notching for Cam Bolts arm from OEM rear axle mount using a 15mm socket \ wrench. Note: Only Disconnect One (1) Side at a Time. The OEM control arm axle mount brackets have 'knockout' alignment inserts. Use inserts as a guide & cut a slotted rectangular hole. Using a Sawzall, Dremel or other small cutting device, cut out a notch on each side of rear upper OEM axle mount bracket. (See Photo # 33) Photo # 34 Connect OEM rear upper control arm to modified OEM rear axle mount using Skyjacker Eccentric Cam Bolt, Eccentric Washer & Nut using a 15mm & a 17mm socket \ wrench. (See Photo # 34) 2. With vehicle on ground & weight of vehicle on tires \ wheels, tighten front & rear eccentric cam bolts using a 15mm & a 17mm socket \ wrench. Note: These bolts can be rotated to adjust the axle pinion angle to eliminate any driveline vibration. I-TJ4013B REV6 07/22 Page 12 of 14 Final Notes: · After installation is complete, double check that all nuts & bolts are tight. Refer to the following chart for proper torque specifications. (Note: Do not re-tighten nuts & bolts where thread lock compound was used.) · With vehicle placed on ground, cycle steering lock to lock & inspect steering, suspension, brake lines, front & rear drivelines, fuel lines & wiring harnesses for proper operation, tightness & adequate clearance. · Have headlights readjusted to proper settings. · Have a qualified alignment center align vehicle to OEM specifications. · After first 100 miles, check all hardware for proper torque & periodically thereafter.
