38. The EVO 2.5" Boost Lift comes with coil spacers designed specifically to fit on each side your Jeep. The driver side front spacer is for the most part, round in shape but the top has a tab with a hole in it that extends straight out on one side and curves in on the other. See photo below to help identify the proper spacer.
39. Slide the EVO coil spacer up the driver side bump stop tower and then insert one of the provided bolts and washers through the existing hole on your JL's upper spring perch and through the tab on the spacer.
40. It'll take some effort but you will need to install one of the provided washers and nylocks onto the bolt you just slipped through and then secure everything in place using a 7/16" long socket and wrench.
41. Use a pair of dykes to cut off the nubs on the factory rubber isolator.
42. Reinstall the factory rubber isolator onto the bump stop tower and push it all they up to the base of the EVO coil spacer.
43. If your lower spring perch isolator came off with your coil, reinstall it now and make sure it's seated properly.
44. Take one of the front EVO bump stop extensions and slip one of the provided bolts and washers through the countersunk hole.
45. Place the EVO bump stop extension with the bolt and washer installed inside the bottom of your driver side coil as shown.
46. Slip the coil up the bump stop tower and then slide the bottom of it with the EVO bump extension onto the lower spring perch. Make sure that the EVO bump stop extension bolt goes through the existing hole on the center of the perch.
47. Rotate the coil until the base of it is properly indexed with the isolator.
48. Reaching up from the bottom of the spring perch, install one of the provided washers and stovers onto the bolt and then secure everything in place using a 9/16" wrench and socket attached to a short ratchet extension.
49. Repeat Steps #38-48 on the passenger side.
50. The passenger side EVO bump stop extension will be difficult to install due to the fact that it's near impossible to thread a stover onto the bolt. What I would recommend is that you tape the stover onto the open side of 9/16" wrench and use it to help you reach up into the lower spring perch and get it on.
51. Back on the driver side of your JL, you'll need to scoot the strap securing the axle breather hose to the brake hard line bracket up a bit to give it a bit more slack.
52. The brake hard line relocation brackets that EVO provides with the kit are universal and designed to be installed on either side of your JL. Use the factory bolts to secure them of the to the frame rails. A 10mm socket will be needed for this job.
53. Carefully pull the brake hard lines down just enough to get the index pin into the angled hole as shown in this photo and then secure it to the EVO relocation brackets using the bolt, wash and nyloc nut provided. A 7/16" socket and wrench will be needed for this job.

54. If you are installing EVO shock extensions, the front brackets are designed to universal. Starting on the driver side of your JL, place one of the brackets over the inside shock tab on the axle mount and with the closed end pointing outward. Place a provided bolt and washer through the hole on the bottom of the bracket and through the existing hole on the factory shock mount.
55. Thread one of the provided washers and stovers onto the bolt and then, using a 9/16" wrench, socket and ratchet extension, secure everything in place.
56. Place the provided crush sleeve in between the factory shock mount and EVO relocation bracket and then secure the two together using the factory bolt and nut. Use an 18mm socket and wrench to tighten them to 80 ft. lbs. of torque.
57. Use a pair of vice grips to firmly hold the brake hose/speed sensor wiring control arm bracket and then use a unibit to carefully drill out the mounting hole to 1/2". Take your time and be careful to not rip the bracket out of your hand and be mindful of the fact that the bracket will be VERY HOT when finished.
58. Use the bolt and washers provided to secure the driver side shock onto the EVO relocation bracket. Slip the drilled out brake hose/speed sensor wiring bracket onto the end of the bolt and secure it in place using the provided washer and stover.
59. Use a 3/4" socket and wrench to tighten the lower shock bolt and stover to 74 ft. lbs. of torque.
60. Repeat Steps #54-59 on the passenger side of your JL. Again, the EVO shock relocation brackets are universal and so on this side, the bracket will be placed over the outer shock tab as shown.
61. On the driver side of your JL, plug the locker wiring harness back into its socket on the back of the differential.
62. On the passenger side of your JL, plug the wiring harness back into the FAD.
63. Use an 18mm socket to remove both front sway bar links from the sway bar. These can now be discarded as they will not be reused.
64. Install your new wheels and tires. Use a 22mm socket and/or socket key to tighten your lug nuts to 130 ft. lbs. of torque.
65. Use your floor jack to help remove your jack stands and then set your JL back down so that the full weight of it is on the ground. Have a friend turn your steering wheel one way or the other as needed to help get your front track bar joint aligned with the mounting hole on the axle and then secure it in place with the factory bolt and flag nut.
66. Using a 21mm socket, long ratchet extension and torque wrench, tighten the track bar bolt to 52 ft. lbs. of torque + 155°.
67. Using an 18mm socket and wrench, tighten the front upper control arm bolts and nuts at the axle mounts to 41 ft. lbs. of torque + 185°.
68. Using a 21mm socket and 24mm wrench or crescent wrench, tighten the front lower control arm bolts to 103 ft. lbs. of torque + 50°.
