Top Plate Install Q

Has anyone installed top plates after they already had their lift installed? I haven't looked yet, but would it be possible to just unbolt the shock mount without having to take apart anything else and just slip it on and bolt the shock back in? Let me know, thanks

You mean without removing the clevis ?
No you have to remove and drop it down

Thanks Tom, clevis I can do. I just didn't want to pull apart everything else

On a couple I've been able to slide the whole thing down enough to work the top plate in, all depends on if you already have a clevis done etc. You may have to pop the upper ball joint loose but that is a not a big job either . Pretty simple to do
Have fun......... :wink:

Well I got started on this after the Lions game today (sorry for all Bears fans) and I had to pop the upper ball joint and the sway bar end link and clevis bolt in order to drop the shock enough to slide the plate in. Not too bad though
