Part 1 — Relocating (Flipping) Rear Axle
Measure the vehicle and record all measurements on the installation helper before beginning any work.
Reverse the leaf spring center bolt so the nut is on the bottom.
Place the new axle locator bracket on top of the spring with the off-center hole toward the front of the vehicle. This will center the rear axle and pull the drive shaft back from the transmission slightly.
Lower the rear axle so the new axle supports fit up inside the existing rear axle pad welded to the axle. Mark and drill a hole in the factory spring plate for the spring center pin — this hole is offset just like the flip bracket.
Install the factory U-bolts and factory spring plate on the bottom of the springs. Tighten U-bolts.
Part 2 — Shock Extender Installation
Remove the factory bump stop bracket from the frame. Drill a 3/8" hole and install the new bump stop to the frame.
Slide the new shock extenders over the existing shock mount. The rounded end faces down — this is the end the shock will bolt to. Align the original shock mounting holes with the shock extender holes.
Install one 1/2" x 20 x 1" bolt in each hole with lock washers and jam nuts — nuts on the inside. Using the shock extender as a template, line drill a 1/2" hole through the original shock mount and secure with a 1/2" x 1" bolt, washer, and nut.
Install the new shock to the rounded end using 1/2" x 20 x 3-1/4" bolts, lock washers, and nuts. Tighten all bolts.
