Installation Instructions
Scout Trailer Kit
Part#87400/87400-01
17. Install coil spring. Use jack to compress
suspension once the spring is installed into
the cup, as you raise the suspension be sure
to line up the spring with the cups. Fig 12.
Make sure coil is seated inside the rubber
isolator evenly.
18. Install limit strap into middle mounts on
trailing arm and trailer body. Use M10
hardware. Its easiest to put the limit strap
into position, then insert bolt into mount.
The bolt will go in at a slight angle when first
started, then will straighten out when going
thru the second mount. Apply thread locker
to threads and tighten to 25 ft/lbs. Take care
to not over tighten. Fig 13.

19. Install shocks into the outer mounts
on the trailer arm and trailer body.
Use M16 hardware to attach them.
Do not tighten this hardware till you
have the full weight of the trailer
supported on the suspension. Its
best to tighten after the tires and
wheels have been installed and are
supporting the trailer. If shocks are
tightened without weight of trailer
on suspension you will bind the
bushings which may cause squeaking
and will accelerate wear on the
bushings. Lube bushings and the
area in which bushings make contact
with trailer body and trailing arm
mounts with lithium based grease.
Apply thread locker to threads. Fig
13. You will torque these bolts to 85
ft/lb.
