Installation Notes: 86000-R Race Series +3.5” L/T Kit

Applies to the following Part #s: 86000-R, 86000-R-16, 86004-R, 86004-R-10FJ

Factory manual is recommended for removal and re-installation of all factory components.

Place vehicle securely on jack stands. Make sure the front wheels are not contacting the ground.
Chock both rear wheels of the vehicle to secure it from rolling back.
Remove the front wheels and tires.

Before you start disassembly:

- Make sure the vehicle is secure and ready to work on.
- The vehicle suspension should be at max extension.
- Disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal at the battery. (Reason - you will be working close
to the air bag sensors and welding on the vehicle.)

Step 1:
Remove the factory lower skid plates by removing the 4 12mm bolts.

Step 2 - Factory Swaybar Removal:

Loosen the sway-bar end links from the spindle. Disconnect the 4 14mm bolts from the bushing
area on the bottom of the frame. Weave the sway-bar and end links between the frame and
lower strut pieces. (This process may be easier if you remove the end links from the sway-bar.)

Step 3 - Differential Oil Drain (Necessary to remove and install 4WD axles):
Locate the factory diff drain plug and loosen the plug using a 12mm allen wrench or socket.
Drain out about a ½ qt. to keep the diff from leaking once the axles are removed. If the gear
oil is dark and smells, now would be a good time to change it. (DO NOT remove the axles at
this time. Removal is explained in step 7.)

Step 4 - Rubber Apron Removal:

Locate the factory aprons on each side of the vehicle and remove the plastic clips. (These items
can be reinstalled once the complete kit has been installed.)
Step 5 - Spindle Removal:
Disconnect the ABS wire from the ABS sensor at the lower portion of the stock spindle. Remove
the hardware from all brackets holding the ABS wire and brake lines to the spindle. Using a
17mm socket remove the front brake calipers and securely place out of your working area.

Next loosen the tie-rod jam nuts from each tie-rod end using a 22mm wrench. Remove the
cotter pins from both outer tie-rods ends at the spindle. Loosen the 19mm nut on the tie-rod
at the spindle. Strike the steering arm portion of the spindle just above the tie-rod to loosen
the tapered fit. If striking the spindle does not work you can use a “pickle fork” (using a “pickle
fork” may damage the rubber tie rod boot). Let both tie-rods hang free and out of your working
area.

Using a chisel or flat putty knife and a hammer tap around the outer edge of the hub cover to
remove. Once the hub cover has been removed undo the cotter pin and remove hardware.

Loosen both 4wd axles nuts on each side using a 36mm socket. (These are usually very tight
and an impact gun is useful for removal.)

Loosen the lower ball-joint cradle from the spindle using a 19mm socket on both bolts. (Leave
the bolts loose until the upper ball-joint nut has been loosened.)

Use a 19mm wrench or socket to loosen the upper ball-joint nut at the top of the spindle. Strike
the top portion of the spindle under the ball-joint to loosen the tapered fit. If striking the spindle
does not work you can use a “pickle fork” (using a “pickle fork” may damage the rubber ball
joint boot)

Carefully lift and remove the spindles. (You may have to tap on the 4wd axle to loosen the
splines in the hub bearing. Be careful not to damage the threads on the end of the axle shaft.)

Step 6 - Upper Control Arm Removal:

Using a 19mm wrench and socket loosen the upper cross shaft bolt and remove. (You may need
to bend the wheel apron out of the way to remove the bolts.) On the driver side inner wheel
apron remove the bolt holding the wire harness. Remove any other sensors from both aprons
that might be obstructing the bolt from removal.
Step 7 - 4WD Axle Removal:
Start by using a brass drift or pry bar and tap on the inner cv-joint to release the inner
retaining clip. Tapping on the inner joint where the factory grooves in the CV housing is
recommended. Once the retainer clip has been released, remove the axle. Make
sure you mark which one is right and which was left - DO NOT SWAP SIDES. Refer to extended
axle instructions for proper installations.

Step 8 - Lower Arm Removal:

Using a 19mm socket and wrench loosen both lower cam bolts. Let the control arms hang down
and remove the front and rear cam hardware. With the hardware removed, remove the control
arms from the frame.
Step 9 - Prep, Weld and Brake Line:
With the lower arms removed it is highly recommended to clean and weld the outsides of the
lower cam tabs. (This will ensure that they will not bend. TOTAL CHAOS also offers replacement
lower cam tab gussets part #’s 59860, 59860-10fj, 59960). If using the factory bump stops
remove them from the frame. Remove the paint from the area where the bump stop was in order
to weld. Thread the factory bump stop into the bump stop extension provided in the kit. There
should be a small piece of the bump stop stud sticking through the extension. Hold the bump
stop with added extension up to the frame. Center bump stop as close to factory location as
possible and tack in two areas. Weld in spaces around area as much as possible.
Remove the factory brake line clips from all mounts frame side and spindle side. Loosen the
bottom brake line fitting at the caliper then at the top of the frame. Install the new brake lines
provided in this kit. Before tightening the fittings make sure the line is not contacting anything
that might damage the line. Snug down both lines at this time.
Bump stop spacer welded on and painted, reinstall the factory rubber bump stop into the
threaded hole in the spacer.

Step 10 - Installing the Lower Control Arm:

Before installing lower control arms you may need to bend lower arm tabs out slightly for easier
fitment. With the welded areas painted (cam adjusters.) Grease the bushing face and tab face
before installing arm into tabs. Use the factory hardware, center the alignment cams and snug
down all at this time.
Step 11 - Shock Installation:
Before installing the shocks make sure the fittings and reservoir are facing the front of the
vehicle. Place the top portion of the shock into the coil tower on frame. Line up the bolt pattern
and thread in the supplied 3/8” bolts and washers (torque shock bolts and nuts to 35 ft/lbs.
47-NM). (Repeat this procedure for the other side of the vehicle). Swing lower control up and
install supplied ½” bolt through lower shock and mount.

Step 12 - Ball Joint Modification:

Once the Ball Joint cradle is removed from the

vehicle, mark the steering stops with a light
colored marker so you know what needs to be
removed.

Cut the steering stops off of the Ball Joint

cradle using either a band saw, hack saw,
reciprocating saw, or a disc cutter.

Sand off any rough edges from cutting the

steering stops off.

Paint the sanded area so the modified cradle

doesn’t rust.
Step 13 - Lower Arm Assembly:
Swing the lower control arm up and connect the lower arm to the lower shock rod end, this will
hold the lower arm in place.

Install misalignment spacers in lower control arm (small spacer on top and tapered misalignment
on bottom).

Slide 5/8” 12point bolt through misalignment spacers.

Install onto ball joint cradle.

Install 5/8” washer and c-lock nut, torque to 100 Ft/lbs., 135-NM.
Step 14 - 4WD Axle Installation:
Grease the inner and outer dust seals. Place a small amount of grease on each end of the axle
splined areas. Place the inner axle shaft into the diff housing, rotate the axle till the splines line
up. While holding the outer CV give the axle a good shove towards the diff to seat the retaining
clip. If the axle does not seal all the way against the seal you may need to tap it in lightly.
Install the outer CV nut then tap on the CV joint till it seats against the seals. (A dead blow or
plastic hammer is recommended in order to not damage the axle threads.)

Step 15 - Upper Control Arm Installation:

It is recommended to bend the sheet metal apron to ease upper arm bolt installation. Start
install of control arm by greasing the bushing face on both sides of the control arms. Place the
control arm in upper mount with pivot gussets facing up and the bent tube facing forward (the
pivot gussets also have part numbers on them that notate the side of the vehicle that arm is
for.) Using the supplied Washers slide the bolt from front to rear of the vehicle. Make sure the
washers are on each side of the bushings. (Torque nut to 85 ft/lbs. 115-NM) (Repeat process on
other side.)
Step 16 - Spindle Installation:
While holding the spindle up slide the 4WD axle through the bearing / turning the hub to insure
proper spline alignment.

Lower the spindle till the ear of the spindle rests on top of the lower uni-ball adapter. Using the
stock 16mm bolts thread them through ball joint cradle then into the spindle. (Leave these bolts
finger tight for now). Using a floor jack under the ball joint cradle, carefully jack up the lower
control arm about 2” being careful to not lift the vehicle off of the jack stands.

Next lower the upper control arm down to the top of the spindle, using the proper mis-alignment
spacers top and bottom. Install the upper 9/16” bolt through the upper control arm
mis-alignments, then through the spindle, using the 9/16” washer and nut provided. With the
spindle on the suspension tighten all hardware. Now lower the jack returning the suspension to
full droop and remove the jack.

Torque the upper 9/16” bolt to 100 ft/lbs 135-NM, 2 lower 19mm bolts to 118 ft/lbs 160-NM
and the axle nut torque to 174 ft/lbs 235-NM. Tighten the axle nut, install the keeper over the
nut and install a new cotter pin. Install the axle hub cap and tap to seat in place.

Step 17 - Tie-Rod Extension Install:

Remove the stock outer tie-rod end from the inner tie-rod. Install tie-rod extension provided
along with lock washer onto outer tie-rod using anti-seize and tighten all the way. Thread onto
the inner tie-rod (Do not tighten at this time, an alignment will need to be done.) Place ball joint
end into spindle and secure with the factory castle nut. (Torque nut to 75ft/lbs 101-NM and
install new cotter pin.)
Step 18 - Caliper and Brake Line Install:
Place the rotor over the hub bearing, slide caliper and brake pads over the rotor. Push caliper
on until the mounting holes are lined up. Tighten caliper to the spindle using factory hardware.
(Torque caliper bolts to 91 ft/lbs 123-NM). Mount all factory brake line brackets using factory
hardware. Make sure supplied clips with the brake lines are installed on both ends. Refer to
vehicle repair manual for brake bleeding procedures.

Step 19 - ABS Wire Routing:

Make sure the ABS wire takes the stock path to the ABS plug. Mounting the ABS wire to the
inside of the upper arm is recommended. Tie-wrap the ABS wire in two locations on the straight
tube of the upper control arm. From this point, route the wire just like factory. Check to make
sure the ABS plug is inserted all the way and be make sure that the ABS wire is free from
obstruction and potential damage.

Step 20 - Limit Strap Weld-On Clevis Mount Installation:

When placed on a vertical surface the supplied limit strap mount has angle built into it. Be sure
that when the mount is welded onto the frame that the bottom of the mount is facing at an
outward angle. Place the limit strap mount as close to the top of the frame as possible and
also as close to the rear of the coil bucket as possible (keep in mind that you have to weld the
outside of both sides of the mount.) Mark the area that will be welded and remove all paint and
debris the surrounding area. Once paint is removed tack the limit strap mount into place. After
double checking placement, it is recommended to cover the CV boots and any other delicate
parts with a welding blanket before welding. Weld as much surface as possible, wait for welds to
cool then paint.

After Install Is Complete (Shocks Installed):

Adjust the limit straps so that there is at least a ¼” gap between the high mis-alignment spacer
and the uni-ball cup on the upper control arm. (Take measurement at full droop) Limit straps will
stretch over time and will need to be adjusted periodically to prevent damage to the shock and
uni-ball components.
Step 21 - Coilover Reservoir Weld-On Mounts:
Start by routing reservoir under the upper control arm facing forward on the vehicle. Make sure
the hose itself is not coming in contact with anything that will damage the hose or fittings. Hold
the reservoir along the front frame section in a place where you can still charge the shock
reservoir. Weld in res. mounts in desired areas suitable for the manufacturer of the reservoir
shock.

Finished Install Picture:

Step 22 - Reminders:

Bleed front brakes after installation.

Check for fluid leaks and spongy pedal.

Charge both front shocks’ reservoirs. Contact shock manufacturer for correct PSI. (Make sure
shocks are at max extension before charging!)

Using a tape measure set toe 1/8” to 3/16” toed in on the front and lock down jam nuts be-
fore driving. This will allow you to test drive and get to the alignment shop.

Re-torque should be done after 500-1000 miles.

Torque all wheel lug nuts before driving.

Perform a visual check on complete install before driving!

Get an alignment from a qualified shop that has long travel knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions & Important Things To

Read About TC Equipment and Parts
1. Uniballs:
TC uses a 100% stainless steel uniball and race for maximum corrosion resistance in all our equipment. The uniballs
feature a military grade PTFE Liner that makes much less noise than the standard lined uniballs used in competing
brands. This military grade PTFE Liner is self-lubricating and does not require any additional lubrication or grease. If you
have a ball that is making some noise apply either a layer of Tri-Flow Superior Dry Lubricant (No. TF21013) or CRC Dry
PTFE Lube (No. 03044).
Uniballs are a consumable item and will need to be replaced when the military grade PTFE Liner wears away. Grabbing
your wheel and applying force to see if the ball is moving in the race will determine their maintenance schedule. Each
uniball is retained in the uniball cup at the end of the arm with a large snap ring. . Wiping the uniballs down with a damp
cloth to remove any built up dirt and debris will help extend the life of these parts Replacement parts are available directly
from TOTAL CHAOS Fabrication Inc.
2. Polyurethane Bushings:
Poly bushings can and will make some noise. They offer many benefits vs. a factory style rubber bushing. To reduce as
much noise as possible, TC uses a synthetic grease that contains PTFE called Superlube (No. 41150). If Superlube is not
readily available use a good synthetic grease (Mobil 1, Valvoline, etc.).
When greasing your pivot bushings on the vehicle it is very important not to force too much grease into the zerk fittings.
This will cause excess pressure to become trapped in the pivot and will result in mushrooming the bushing shoulders out
of the pivots. To prevent this, first loosen the factory bolt that holds the arms to the frame and separate the washers from
the face of the bushings when applicable. This will allow any excess pressure and grease to escape. Don’t forget to re-
torque the factory bolt when you are finished to a factory torque specification!
3. Zerk Fittings:
The grease nipples or zerk fittings that are supplied with our arms are ¼”-28 in size. Should you have a tapped hole that
has an excess amount of powder coat in it, use a ¼”-28 tap to clean it up. When installing the zerk fittings take care not to
over tighten them as they are hollow and can snap off. When fully installed they will not sit all of the way flush with the
pivot, just insert them two or three rotations until they are snug. Don’t forget to have them pointing in the right direction so
you can get a grease gun onto them once the arms are installed onto the vehicle.
4. Anti-seize:
To aid in future disassembly of components, we recommend that you liberally apply an anti-seize to all metal on metal
contact surfaces such as the ID of the uniball, hi-mis spacers, and inner sleeves. Also, apply it to the threads on any C-
lock or Stover nut. This will prevent the C-lock portion of the nut from galling onto the bolt.
5. Black Oxide Coated Parts:
Some components (such as 4340 axle shafts and lower uniball conversion cups) are coated with Black Oxide. While this
will help to prevent rust, depending on your climate you may want to further coat these parts. For axle shafts we wrap a
layer of electrical tape the length of the shaft (excluding the splines). For lower uniball conversion cups you can use black
spray paint, just be sure to mask of the uniball before painting.
6. Hardware Torque:
All hardware should be re-torqued after an initial break in period of 50 miles and again at 500 miles. Periodically after that
you should inspect your suspension to ensure that nothing is loose, worn, or damaged.
7. Uniball Caps:
We do not use any sort of cap or cover over our uniballs as these actually lead to premature wear and corrosion. With a
cap installed moisture and containments work their way up through the underside of the uniball and then become trapped.
With no cover this moisture can evaporate and you have easy access to wipe down the uniball periodically.

Recommended Alignment Procedure

All vehicles equipped with TOTAL CHAOS suspension systems should be taken to an alignment shop that is
familiar with off-road suspension systems. There is increased caster angle built into most TOTAL CHAOS
suspension systems. When setting alignment, camber and toe should be set as close to factory spec as possible,
while caster will usually be higher than factory specifications. Attempting to bring caster to factory spec will likely
result in camber and toe being out of factory specifications which will result in poor driveability and uneven tire
wear. The caster that is built into TOTAL CHAOS suspension systems is sufficient, attempting to add excessive
caster into the alignment may result in the inability to adjust camber and toe. Alignment specifications will vary
depending upon:

• Vehicle model

• Suspension kit purchased

• Prior vehicle modifications

• Desired coilover spring pre-load and or ride height

TOTAL CHAOS’ suspension products are designed to align with aftermarket shocks that are set to the
recommended amount of lift. Some vehicles may not correctly align if the ride height is altered from the
recommended settings. If you have followed all of the instructions and the vehicle still won’t align correctly, it’s
likely that there is something installed wrong, or the frame mounting points and/or knuckles may be bent or
damaged.

When using larger than stock tires with certain wheel combinations it may be necessary to cut back the
body mounts on the vehicles listed above, as well as trim the inner plastic fender wells. The reason that
Total chaos A-Arms may cause tire rub issues is because we add caster to the suspension which moves the
tire back slightly in the wheel well. Total Chaos increases caster so that when the vehicle is lifted it can
retain its factory alignment specs.

1. Mark the body mount before you cut it.

2. After the body mount is cut, make a
template (or order Total Chaos part
number 59850) then box in the body
mount.

3. Weld on the new plate.

4. Paint the modified body mount.

How to Grease TOTAL CHAOS Polyurethane Bushings

Note: Polyurethane bushings are prone to squeaking and have the potential of making slight noise even if
maintained properly. The reason TOTAL CHAOS uses polyurethane is that it is far stronger, and has much less flex
than stock rubber bushings. TOTAL CHAOS recommends using Super Lube® (or an equivalent PTFE marine grade
water proof grease). Avoid using lubricants such as, white lithium, any type of penetrant, or spray style lubricant.

Pre control arm installation:

1. Using a mallet, install the dry bushings into the
control arm pivots.

2. With the bushings installed in the

control arm, generously apply grease to
the inner diameter of the bushings
trying to fill the bushing grooves
completely with grease.
3. Generously grease the outer diameter of the
supplied TC metal inner sleeves.

4. Using a mallet, arbor press, or smooth jawed vise,

install the metal inner sleeve into the bushing.

5. Using the excess grease, use your finger or a small

brush to lubricate the outsides or “hats” of the
bushings where they make contact with the plated
end washers or control arm pocket.
 6. When installing the zerk fittings,
it may be necessary to use a
knife or sharp object to clean out
the top of the threaded hole so
the ¼”-28 NTP threads will catch.
Threads not
When tightening the zerk, DO bottomed out
NOT try and tighten the zerk to
the bottom of the thread. It is
only necessary to turn the zerk
until it gets snug. Then rotate as
far as necessary to make the
fitting accessible for a grease
gun.

Greasing maintenance:

1. To grease TOTAL CHAOS control arm’s on the vehicle, it is not mandatory to have the
vehicle jacked up with the wheel off. Although it will make the process much easier.

2. First you MUST loosen the bolt holding the

bushings together. This opens an area for
the grease to expand when being pumped
into the zerk fittings. If you do not loosen
the bolt, the grease being pumped into the
bushing has nowhere to go. This will cause
the grease to hydraulic and then mushroom
and destroy the bushing. If you see the
bushing start to deform, immediately stop
pumping in grease, grab a small pick, and
push in the ball on the zerk fitting to release
the excess pressure.
3. With the bolt loose,
pump grease into the
zerk fitting until you
can see the excess
grease bleed out
from between the With the bolt loose, grease

4. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual to find the applicable factory torque spec. Re-torque all
hardware, and re-check all hardware after 500 miles. Continue enjoying your Total Chaos
Suspension system.
