Installation Instructions
Measure the vehicle and record on the installation helper.
-
Remove front and rear spring eye bolts and remove spring from truck. Keep bolts — they will be reused to reassemble springs. Reinstall the leaf spring under the axle. 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 into the new axle supports. Rotate axle to desired pinion angle.
Axle locator bracket installed on spring -
Install new U-bolts and spring plates (5 hole) on the bottom of the springs. Cross-torque u-bolts. Over tightening may bend spring plates.
U-bolts and spring plate cross-torqued in place -
Place the new upper axle plates with the pin down on top of the axle. Install the 5/8" x 3-1/2" bolt forward and the 5/8" x 4" bolt to the rear, with one flat washer on top of the upper plate and one on the bottom of the axle locator.
