Two-Speed Adjustment
a.
Your truck's two-speed shift point is preset from the factory.
It should shift into 2nd gear within 12-15 feet on a full-
throttle, standing-start acceleration.
b.
If you wish to adjust the shift point, first shut down the
engine then open the two-speed access cover on the
transmission case. Align the BLACK adjustment set screw
with the opening on the 2nd gear as shown on the diagram.
c.
Using a 2mm Allen wrench, turn the black adjustment set
screw clockwise to make the two-speed shift later; turn
it counter-clockwise to make the two-speed shift earlier.
Only use
two-speed.
d.
Close the two-speed access cover on the transmission case.
e.
Be careful not to touch any hot engine components in the area.
Front & Rear Toe-In / Toe-Out
a.
Use a 1.5mm Allen wrench as shown to adjust the front & rear
toe-in.
b.
Lengthening the Turnbuckles will increase the amount of toe-in,
shortening them will increase the amount of toe-out.
c.
The notch on the turnbuckle indicates the side that has the right-
hand thread.
Use it as a guide to determine which way to turn the turnbuckle when
adjusting its length.
Front & Rear Camber
a.
Use a 2.5mm Allen wrench as shown to adjust the front & rear
camber.
b.
Turning the upper pivot ball clockwise increases camber towards
the negative side; turning it counter-clockwise increases camber
towards the positive side.

Ride Height

a.
The truck ride height can be increased by adding preload clips to
the shocks. Removing preload clips will decrease the ride height.
b.
Compress the spring and insert the preload clips between the
spring collar and the shock body flange.

Slipper Clutch

a.
Use a 7mm nut driver to adjust the slipper clutch.
b.
Tighten the slipper nut until the spring is fully compressed.
c.
Once you've reached the point where the spring is fully compressed,
loosen the slipper nut
d.
Do not run you truck with the slipper nut any looser than
from full spring compression. Setting the slipper too loose may
result in a damaged spur gear.
