Remove shock tower brace (Only on V6 model)

Place jack under chassis, jack up the car and remove the wheel

Remove to auto locking hub, and the C-Clip from the axle shaft

Disconect anti-rollbar or remove it. (mine was worn out, so i removed it to get more wheel travel)

Undo the 3 bolts from the shock bracket

Compress the shock and remove the brake caliper

Bend down the shock and suspension arm to release the tention on the spring

Remove the spring

Place space above spring

Spring sits on the original rubber ring but now with the spacer between in

Put spring back on suspension arm (force is requiered)

Jack up the suspension arm to reposition the shock

Insert bolt in shock bracket, use lock-washer and nut

Add Loc-tite to the thread

Install high nut

Screw in a 50mm thread in the high nut, use loc-tite and install 2 nuts on the thread, you now have a 45mm spacer (5mm less then the lift, to prevent over expanding of the joints in the axle shafts)

Wheel back on, look at the space in the wheel arch

Now the front is done, we are going to do the rear

Place scissors jack between chassis and axle and remove the top nut of the shock

Jack up the scissors jack until you can remove the spring

Jack it up a little more, and place the spacer between the spring and the chassis,mind the rubber it should be between the spring and the spacer
